Personnally i like my combat more up close and personal with a shotgun or assault rifle but i have been known to use both the pistol and sniper rifle and i respect those who are good at them.

Cant even compare. Pistol is for closer range and you are bound to be shot at when using it. While with the sniper rifle you can sit your ass down a mile away and pick off guys the easy way which is away from danger and not being shot at.

What i really hate is snipers on hang em high, just the fact that on a sixteen player game you can't even spawn without being shot.

Ah ha this is my point! you can kill four players in one clips, SOO -blam!-! , if you are front of four players who wear pistols , you had balls to fought those back


Dude you can kill 4 people in 1 clip with the pistol too. I love both weapons but my favorite combo is the pistol and usually the sniper rifle. I don't like the shotty tho because you have to be to close to make that kill effective, I just use my pistol or my snipe.

My favorite tactic is to use my sniper in 2X zoom while standing on top of the teleporter at blue base and when they spawn on the roof BAM, Headshot.

Yes exactly what he said - you can kill 4 people with the pistol in 1 clip. 3 head shots per person. Infact I did it yesterday on 1 xbox. Killed 3 of them and another spawned and killed him - killtacular. If you're good enough and hyped up enough it's fairly easy - if not blast them to hell with your AR.
I do admit snipers have plenty of skill too and I use it all the time too on Gultch. I voted pistol though cause I hate getting killed by the sniper over and over and over.

A real good sniper doesn't need to zoom in. It is possible to pick off people across Derelict without zooming in. And if you got the skill and focus even at close range you can take out a good pistol user, yeah it's hella hard but a good sniper is better than a good pistol dude.

I think you have to use them in a combination. Sniper rifle to pick off anyone down range and use a pistol to hit them hard up close.

Both.....there is no way a sniper could be more skillfull than a pistol and there is no way a pistol user can be more skillfull than a sniper its just the way that you use it that makes the dif.
try using both that when you will realize that the weapons are well balanced in the game.....hum exept when you are fighting a fuel rod gun with an assault rifle..........

You can't kill 4 people at one clips of pistol, unless if you are SUPER pro

I think pistols need ALOT of skills to won the battle than snipers , you can sit back and kill alot of people while they can't shoot you BACK! that is whole point!

If you know what is -blam!- and off balanced then you know you are.
and I beated snipers many times since they have to zoom if they want to aim correctly and when they get shot the zoom turns off so the pistol is the best at medium and close range but the sniper owns at long range

Look i know Half Lemming and he CAN snipe with the pistol, give him a target that you and me could hit with a sniper rifle, he can take him out in two shots with the pistol, both weapons can be used for the others purposes, as my friend here continues to prove to me regularly.

Please don't bump. Bumping is against the rules.

Sniper to me is the best weapon to use in Blood Gulch and Side Winder, but pistol is way overrated because everyone who plays LAN (like me) always uses pistol. But yet there is only 2 snipers per map. But besides the two maps up there all other maps is best to use pistol becuase its like a cheap sniper with more bullets and does not show a scope?....
