Subject: Just curious...

Not trying to brag I was just wondering how often do people get head shots with the sniper over man cannon? I just did it for the third time ever a couple days ago and I have played a lot so I was curious if anyone else has or if it is semi common?

On another note I sniped myself in the head by shooting an icicle on Narrows a few months ago but unfortunately my hard drive had to be cleaned so I lost the footage :( Anyone else do this? It lost me the game so I wasn't very happy but looking back it was pretty funny :D

I did it a couple times, but skillful snipers do it very often.

I commited suicide on Guardian S3 with a sniper by shooting the wall.

Twice..

Do you mean just sniping someone twice or actually domeing them? I've sniped people tons of times but only hit them in the head 3 times...

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Valhalla. Enough said.

Valhalla is super easy to snipe on. I'm talking about Narrows, guess I should've specified...

Well you're moving at a constant speed and in straight motion. Its not too hard.....

Really? All your experience says otherwise. I'd be very surprised if you ever did it...

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

There is also the fact the enemy could be shooting you to mess up your sights.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I did it once or twice on Avalanche back when I used to play Team Snipers all the time and got pretty damn good with it.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I've done it a couple of times on Narrows, but I usually don't try and attempt it.

As for committing suicide with a Sniper Rifle, I've done it on High Ground when I was shooting behind a rock.

Gamertag: Altered Vista

It's nothing special. Skilled players do it frequently. You have a smooth motion so it's easy to line up your shot. Also, the guy on Guardian is saying he sniped himself from it ricocheting off the wall.

This also. I used to love getting on top of the towers and sniping off them...doing spin shots while falling and going for noscopes. I hate how they put invisible barriers there.
