Competitive Sniping really got Mw2 and Cod 4 going. I do it as well. It would be nice to see some youtube clans to match each other with snipers. I love to watch that

Hates to love and loves to hate.

Competitive sniping in MW2 is a joke, that game takes no skill therefor it can't be competitive.

It is not a joke. Cleary you have never played competitive sniping. Their are tournaments for money. Youtube-pyrexDG

Sniping in Halo 3 is competitive no matter how you look at it.

Every FPS takes skill, although in regards to Halo MW2 takes considerably less to play. But yes, competitive sniping I'm guessing you mean quickscoping is a joke, aim assist puts your target on the guy as well as people in MW2 are easily 200% the size of people in Halo. Huge target to hit.

It takes skill and teamwork. Mw2 does not take as much skill but does take alot of teamwork and makes very good vids

Proof that I do quick scope and do know what I'm talking about.

I play with people from Exile, oiN and OpTic occasionally.Its so funny that they think its remotely hard or requires any skill.

Team Sniping in any game is a complete joke. It defeats the entire purpose of sniping to start with. If everyone has the same weapon and there is absolutely no weapon variety, it eliminates the strategy aspect of the game and focuses strictly on who shoots the best. BORING.

I'm sorry if everyone dies in a max of 3 shots I don't see how teamwork has anything to do with this game besides communication.

I could argue this for days. It does take skill no matter you say. It has been proven. If it does not take skill then why are some people better at it then others?

Everything takes "skill" I could be more skilled at talking on the phone than you...its just a matter of whether that particular skill is actually important to you. No one is debating that sniping is a precise art, but to some people the simply don't care and even the ones that do care may not consider it worthwhile to be competitive.

You and I could have a competitive staring contest, but if the aspects of the competition aren't important to me, I won't care to do it. In other words, If I compete, its because I enjoy not only out shooting my opponents but out thinking them. Sniping doesn't allow for that in any significant quantity so I just don't care.
