When I play snipers usually get at least 20 kills because everyone is retarded. I hate Hemmorhage because it usually takes all 20mins or w/e to play through the game.

Is this a joke?

Do you really think we can't snipe at long range even though we still dominate you on your precious camping maps?

That's why it has an accurate reticle when not scoped, right?


That was made for this game. Did you see Lee Harvey Oswald walk up to JFK's car and go "OOOOhhhhh no-scoped!" No. He did it from a distance.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

My sniping is random.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

It is much easier to snipe on a big map than a small map.

That is my oppinion.

I simply cannot snipe at long range, in ANY game. I generally prefer short to midrange sniping. I personally blame Quake for my inability to snipe at long range.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Yes, it was made for the -blam!- game. That's the point. Just because you don't think a sniper should be used for noscopes doesn't change the fact that it's a valid and effective tactic in Halo.

Didn't see Lee Harvey Oswald with a ton of kinetically shielded armour either. Guess we should get rid of that from the game.

Why are you getting so defensive? Calm down. You'll have a heart attack by the age of 20.

Unless time starts flowing backwards, I should be pretty safe then.

Anyway, I'll take your pitiful attempts at misdirection to mean that you have no valid counter-argument. I concede that this isn't exactly a great leap, seeing as there is no valid counter-argument.

  • 01.31.2012 7:44 PM PDT

Your ranting proves you've already lost an argument because you didn't have one. I clearly stated that a good sniper will use both no-scoping AND long distance. I didn't say no-scoping was abad thing. Secondly, if you took the time to read which you don't, I said a lot of players have the excuse of not wanting to go against campers in a big map when clearly they just can't snipe long distance. Not all, but most because most do horrible on open maps.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

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

If you can noscope, you can snipe. It doesn't work the other way around.

The sniper rifle wasn't invented to no scope anyone. Its a long distance weapon so you should be able to use it how it was intended to be used.

You are Plunderfuqing retarded.

  • 02.01.2012 12:49 PM PDT

i can't really snipe very well, just comes by luck i guess...
let's just say that sniping is a gift, when ever i snipe i get a bit shacky and can't keep the reticle steady... allways happens, i tried to practice with the sniper once for a bit of time and i got better, but then i stoped and got bad again. :P

Breaking barriers.

When I played snipers on Hemmorhage, it wasn't the distances on the map that made it a terrible game, it was how open the map was in conjunction with those distances. Valhalla was a good combination of distance and open space. Last Resort was okay, and so was standoff. Hemmorhage is just wide open.

  • 02.01.2012 1:30 PM PDT

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Snipers on Hemorrhage? Okay... *sits behind tree for 12 minutes* We done yet?

It doesn't work in this manner either.

  • 02.01.2012 1:31 PM PDT

lol i HATE hemmorage snipers, but i end up winning at least 80% of my games on it, i just find it boring, playing countdown or especially Zealot gives me a sort of excitement, it's more of an intense game that know and love. big maps feel like hide and seek.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

It is more difficult to hit a moving target from a long distance. Much more effective to countersnipe enemies and supress

Cricket Wireless ftl.

I find it amusing that I'm a better sniper in the side of a Rev than I am camping in the back of most maps.
