Sniper komp - post results here

That's why there are 3 maps:

Crossfire - anything goes. Watch your backs. That's why clays and knives are allowed. Running around in the street is not something a sniper does. The idea is to sneak around and flush out the enemy from hiding spots if they are hiding.

Wetwork. Long range. You cant find your target unless you are pretty much visible. If you can see the enemy, they can see you. I wasn't even crouching after the first couple. It was a matter of I could aquire a target before Joe could. he was saying he couldn't see me even though I was standing in the middle of a window. His movement gave him away every time. I could see him move and then reposition himself several times basically giving me a clear shot.

Creek. Same same. Sprinting out in the open is the most useless tactic you can use. And it wasn't a case of my head sticking out. I was trying to give Joe an even chance. Standing right out in the open, or clearly on the roof top. Normally I would change position after every kill (like I was in Crossfire), but I even stopped doing that and stayed in the same place out in the open on the hillside and Joe would come straight out running up the cliff path or across the flat land to cover. Running isn't an option, it's like leaving a smoke trail saying "I'm over here now!"

This is a sniper comp. Not a FFA or TDM using sniper rifles or a quick scope comp. You need to use stealth, patience, cunning.

Camping is more about laying in wait at high traffic choke point.
 
lol cent, he did the same shit to me! Whoever has to go vs him has to remember not to fucking run around. Camp and wait for him! lol
 
Stealth hardly factors into CoD4 I am afraid. Target recognition boils down simply to knowing where to look on the maps, and figuring that out can be accomplished from playing each map enough. I would suck on creek because I haven't played it much at all. However, on crossfire, if you are somewhere visible on my screen, I will probably see you. Now, there is something to be said for crouching and sneaking around your enemy, avoiding being seen or heard. THAT is sneaky, and is what CoD4 1v1s are all about (unless dead silence is used, then sneaky isn't so sneaky). I was just saying that in my experience, AVC out-waits people and doesn't really sneak around them to own them. On the other hand, I agree it's really stupid to run around like a headless chicken jumping back and forth trying to land some lucky shot midair. Looks dumb, sounds dumb, is dumb. Those are the kinds of people who get pissed when AVC play exactly how one should in response to the headless chicken routine, and it's part of the reason those people need the DS crutch.

So I agree in part AVC, but you still camp your ass off when obv. you could be actively seeking your opponent. Stealth, patience, and cunning I guess should be incorporated into any match. I fail to see how quick scoping is an antonym for any of those 3 words. It just means someone can aim faster than you, AVC.

Of course you had to have realized when writing your post that my initial response had no base at all in the match between you and Joe. How could it? I didn't watch any of it. I was making fun of you based on experience from matches between you and I.

The out-waiting will work in the first map, but the two final maps are designed such that it's a long range spitting contest. You already know where the enemy is. They're up the other end. DS is totally useless, as is UAV. It's a matter of spotting them before they spot you, or in most cases when you spot each other who can sight in and fire first.

And hit with that first shot.

Trag seemed to be able to do it with monotonous certainty in wetwork. He'd be popping up from behind railings and shipping containers and nail me before I could even scope him out. Although I managed to get him on the Creek map by simply NOT running around. There's pretty much only two ways, around the hill or over the hill. You just have to be ready to shoot as you approach the enemy's line of sight.
 
yea, I would like to be in another sniping komp when this 1 finishes. I got much better with snipers (HS and QS) since we played. And plus we are tied 1-1 in our 1v1 so I think we should finish it sometime. Maybe with a Search and Destroy... hehe, hope I can come back soon!
 
I think a 1v1 S&D would be fun especially if it was stuff like snipe or pistol only.

There's an option for "Last man standing" in the Komp area. Not sure what that is, maybe like a FFA
 
We have a winner!

ME!

Silo put in a good effort! But he went down 2-0 so we didn't get to play Creek.
