Subject: Your opinion on Camo Sniping in halo 4?

I like Halo: Reach. I think its a fun game. What i DON'T like about it is that the maps such as SwordBase is terrible. I don't hate armor lock, but i can say it can sometimes get annoying. Bloom doesn't bother me either.

What is your opinion on Camo Sniping? I think its a cheap tactic and usually people who camo snipe are power weapon whores.

Part of being a sniper is maintaining concealment, what's the point of everyone knows where you are?

Not to mention you shouldn't stay in one place too long...

You know what me an' the boys did in World War II when the enemy came up with a clever new strategy? We came up with an equally clever counter strategy instead of calling their tactics cheap.

It's bull-blam!-, but don't blame the players. They're just taking what the game gives them.

So you expect the enemy to abide by your personal code of honour because this isn't real life?

In Halo 3, whenever I picked one up I stayed away from the busy areas of the maps...Only maps I didn't use it was... the forerunner one with the 3 lifts(forgot the name), Guardian, Blackout, and any other close quarters map...Mostly Valhalla, Sandtrap, and Avalanche...I'm very traditional when it comes to sniping in games.

In Halo 3 you never had active camo. People sniped while under pressure and still got headshots.

If someone feels they need camo to snipe, they're either lazy, or haven't played a Halo before Reach. The only disadvantage of camo is the radar effect, so essentially past 40m it has no disadvantage.

Except it's not clever.

Yes, but I still don't get what your point is. Are you saying that because it used to be more difficult to get kills with the sniper rifle, it should stay that way? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you have your reasons for it, I just have more fun sneaking up behind camouflaged snipers from behind their lines and catching them with their pants down.

I think I'd rather shoot you across the battlefield with the insta-kill sniper rifle. It's easier for me than switching to your rules.

Let me think about it people that -blam!- about strategy the people that are not good enough to come up with a counter to that strategy and thus are crap at the game. Now if you complained about something that is not in your control sure I could see it being an issue, but to complain about camping shows a lack of understand the game and skill on your part OP. So to answer your question I don't have a problem with any strategy because if it annoys me enough I will stop it simple as that.

I'm inclined to agree.

Then you should have no issue with finding ways to kill such people.

Ever played Ragnarok? Ever tried taking out the sniper on the blue side near that rock? Its on the left side of the base if your looking towards the red base at the water fall. It ain't easy trying to take out the camo sniper when there are a lot of guys backing him up in that one area in BTB.

So you are now -blam!-ing that you can't aim well enough to kill the guy? I hate to tell you, but if he can snipe you then you can shoot and kill him. It really doesn't matter how many people are with him if you aim solely for him then he will die it is that simple. Now there are some other things you could do to increase those odds like teamshot if you suck that much.
