Just like to say, I love Bungie, especially since they are in my backyard!!

I have a question I hope someone can shed some light on for me. While watching these MLG montages, both my son and I noticed that many of these sniping kills were made under zoom, while being fired upon. How is it that the zoom is maintained? I know I suck, especially at sniping, but have I been playing wrong? Is there a setting that I can change so that I don't drop zoom while being shot?

Am I just seeing this wrong, or has anyone else noticed this?

Another observation, that I'm sure has to do with the desync between the server and the clients, and probably the graphics lag, but many kills are made when the reticule is neither on the target, or leading the target. Often the kill will be made when the reticule is way behind.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry, I don't follow you. Lowering the sensitivity will allow me to maintain zoom while being fired upon?

Or is that in response to my own suckiness of sniping?

i thinkhe is referingto your sniping skills or lack of them, i allways seem to get shot by a sniper a fair distance away even when i am shooting them in the face with a BR and im pretty sure they cant no-scope that well.

No, It will make sniping easier because well a high sensitivity will make you turn away and possibly lose sight of the opponent easily

The flag was first invented, years ago, when man had the need to claim land in the name of Spain.

The reticle thing, were they seem to fire and the reticle isnt on them, thats mostly lag and spread

Show the video, otherwise it is just a figment of your imagination, because you can not maintain zoom while being fired on.

Thanks for the responses. Does anyone have anything in regards to what I am seeing in these montages that are being posted?

How is the sniper maintaining zoom while being shot at?

It is not.

Ok.. I'll concede. It seems like the kill is being made first, and then the zoom drops upon being struck. Just my brain not keeping up with the action I guess.

As for which vid, just watch them all. It is in nearly every MLG montage I've seen, like Chao's, and Gewdfeller's, just to name 2.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Edit: In Chao's vid, you see it at 3:04 when he snipes during a king of the hill match. But again, it happens so fast, my brain doesn't keep up with it.
