I cant say i liked your thread. Your sniper training isnt good enough. A much better way is to play MP by yourself, and tape the other three contoller's joysticks down and shoot the running spartans. Its more realistic b/c its actual in game MP. Plus the other spartans generally start to run faster (b/c of game settings) which makes for a more difficult shot. Your 350 meter shots at the covies just dont cut it. There body movements and body shapes are way different than that of a spartan MP.
Your battle field analysis is way too time consuming. Knowing all of that information is irrelivent to much of the MP experience. Its all going to change within the minute and your back at stage one, trying to figure out if a warthog is flipped or not... Pointless. You sound like you use cover too much. Again way too time consuming. While your waiting and analyising and waiting for the perfect unsuspecting kill, everyone else is getting more kills. Also more deaths, but more kills is where it counts. unless you die over and over again and you just plain suck, giving others lots of kills for the win. But no one plays like that anymore...
Again!, your stalk involves hiding and taking cover and going too slow. I can see how you might do this a couple times in a game, but No One and i mean No one is a lone sniper when it comes the MP. If you are, you will lose, b/c you cant snipe, hide, stalk, take cover, for the whole game and expect to win. I will beat you to it, by sniping, using the pistol, the rockets, plasma pistol and moving quick! The kill to death ratio might suck, but at least i win.
If you are seen when sniping, keep sniping, pull another weapon or run. Tryin to kill the guy closest to you, then the next guy and the next guy and then the guy after that. Thats not how it happens man. Just do whatever it takes to kill those -blam!-s who saw you and dont die. None of this kill this guy then this guy crap!
PS, if you dont have 3 controllers to tape the joysticks down in MP so you can practise, the next best thing would be to shoot your own men in SP. Getting ahead shot on your marines takes -blam!-in skill. Plus they shoot back at you! Think about it....
PSS, you totally forgot close range sniping?! When your in close range with your sniper out, dont swith man! -blam!-in shoot the spartan with the sniper without ZOOMING. Its a one to two shot kill everytime. Its more powerfull than any other gun (besides the RL) and it takes the least shots. It only fails in its aiming. i must agree shooting somone in close range with the sniper is hard, Practise Makes Perminent.
I am dissapionted that this became a sticky...I dont recommend to anyone, tryin HIKARUS TACTICS... [/color]
