Subject: are snipers cowards?

Posted by: Darkside Eric
So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

To each their own.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.

I wasn't being serious. lol Revy sniping
Good, because Warthog sniping >>>>>>> Revy sniping.
No no no, Mongoose sniping >>>>>>> Warthog sniping >>>>>>> Revy sniping.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I'd laugh with you, but my high skill is only 42 as well.

It's in Lone Wolves... ;_;

Maybe. Although I've never mongoose sniped before. It can't be harder than in a 'Hog considering the aim assist between the two is about the same (not drastic like the Revy ofcourse :P)

Btw, nice Fluttershy coup :PYes. <3 Fluttershy.

bad troll is bad
no one reply to this thread

There's a question asking if anyone else agrees..
On topic: No. If you want to snipe, you need a secondary appropriate for normal battle, like a DMR. At least, that's what I do.

Ur stupid for even posting this. And thanks for letting me give my opinion in the poll... Not, a55H0l3. I do both snipe and close quarters. Sniping is a strategy. How many lives would be lost if retards ran up and beat someone down in both games and real war. Ur stupid

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Mindset of butthurt idiots: "If you ___________, then you are a noob because I say so."

Accomplishes: makes them feel justified that they are so horribly skilled. Apparently yelling about something makes your bad stats "illegitimate."

  • 12.26.2011 1:17 PM PDT

Sniping is a skill all its own, and it is a soild requirement for team domination. Remember while you are far away from the immediate action, you are also vulerable becuase you not moving as much as your cohorts, and can be subjected to ambush if your not vigilant. Sniping, combined with other players who engage in closer quarters, is a deadly combination. Regards.

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

Nice bias poll you have there!

Sniping is not for cowards at all, in real life or a video game. A good sniper can secure a victory.

  • 12.26.2011 1:43 PM PDT

Oh ze screaming, it is arousing!

So let me try and get this, tell me if I'm on the dot: You went into matchmaking got completely wrecked by a few snipers and decided that they suck since they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do?

Sniper rifle - Used for head shots, plus it has a scope for 10x zoom. Of course they are going to go hide where you can't see them that's how a sniper works.

Shotgun - Effective at close range only, one shot point blank and boom dropped an enemy.

What's the point in walking up to an enemy with a sniper rifle and shooting him point blank? Unless it's a lucky no scope you then have melee unlike the shotgun where it's 1 shot kill point blank. So In reality which is more "overpowered"? The shotgun at close range. Now quit raging about snipers and take away your biased poll. Also snipers keep sniping it's what you're supposed to do.

  • 12.26.2011 1:55 PM PDT

I think OP posted after he got owned by a sniper. And the whole idea of the sniper is long range so u cant complain

  • 12.26.2011 2:31 PM PDT

Mediocre Backpacker
56% W\L
2.86 k\d
3.18 DMR
7.29 God Magnum
7.79 Sniper
5.34 Needle Rifle

The sniper rifle can double as a shotgun, if you're not completely thumbless. Get better.

all they do is camp in corners a mile away
Which is what you should do with a Sniper anyways. It's a LONG RANGE WEAPON.

-1/10

Three feet no Scopes all day.

noob

So a person is a noob if they sit far away with a sniper rifle and they're a noob if they take it into close quarters and use it successfully. That means that you think that sniper rifles are OP and how is a weapon that requires a headshot for a one hit kill OP? Fail troll is fail.

"In life not all Yale students were smart, but all smart people were Yale students."
With a simple connection, almost, if not all serious Halo players are now considered dumb.

Because it takes so much skill to one shot melee someone close range. Bad troll is bad.

There's 2 types of snipers.

There's that guy who grabs his jetpack and floats to the very back part of the map in a little hill you can't easily kill him from, and he rarely gets headshots.
^This guy legitimately frustrates me.


But, there's also the sniper who is organic, moving with the general front line to get flanking positions over an area where most the fighting is at, also: Headshots.
^I tend to be that guy, and I'm okay with getting shot by that guy compared to the guy sitting in the very back of the map taking no skill pop shots.




...there's also that guy who goes run and gun with the sniper, which ends up giving the sniper to the other team anyway.

You should probably get a 50 before you start posting that. Credibility wouldn't hurt to have.

  • 12.26.2011 2:58 PM PDT

and yet you have 600 sniper kills.

Dont get so butthurt over a game.

  • 12.26.2011 3:38 PM PDT

Now day...wait...nvm i'm tired.

"Are snipers cowards" considering you never even put a "no" to the poll, sniping is exactly what it says. "sniping". Snipers are suppose to provide long range support.
