I usually stick to shots on the other side of the map
but yeah that means I generally can't finish em with a pistol. and quick switching or not...once you've fired a shot you're dead if you start switching weapons...at least that's how it goes on pc's... I take it you all play on the xbox?

I play on pc myself ^^
Ups switches so fast, its pretty easy to survive if you're in a slightly coverd position.
I dont get hitmarkers that often though (usualy, and once in a while there's a match where 60% of the shots are hitmarkers xD).

...what are hitmarkers .__.

the little 'pflt' sound you get when you hit something?

The cross hair in the middle of the screen when your bullet hits something. Shitty when a barret bullet hits someone in the chest and you get a hitmarker, or some equivalent (shotgun).

M21 is for people that can't aim and need more than one shot to kill someone. 90% of M21 users that I've seen, take more than 2 bullets to kill people.

I wouldn't particularly brag about my aim with a 0.77 kd
besides, the m21 is also for people who've realised that some lag can't be helped. i've had so many cases where's shot people through their heads. then damage is not counted at all, then I shoot their feet and I get a headshot :S
So I use a gun that I can spam a little with too secure a kill before being found out.
shoot barret(silencer is suicide X_X) > instantly found > recoil = death. shoot silenced m21/wa2k > no recoil > shoot again = kill > ussually not dead...

whether it's 2 or 5 shot's doesn't matter that much, as long as they're dead!

FFUUU
it should be a rule that snipers may only be killed by other snipers >_<

/anger

What's shittier is when you get a face hitmarker, but don't have FMJ on and for some odd reason a strand of grass or a leaf acts as a surface.. (Underpass, Wasteland has happened to me)

no, it's not the leaves. sniper rifle power decreases with the range, so a even a barret or an intervention. can fail a headshot. I've had it loads. even on highrise D:

it's would simply be retarded if it's the leaves...

It was not the distance lol, It was near the A bomb and he was sitting on the outside waiting for people to run by. I was in the little Hut thing where people often snipe from. I shoot and get a clear headshot hitmarker.. And I've not had a single clear headshot not give me the kill unless I had a silencer without stopping power. No matter the distance.

finaly got my fall camo for intervention

Odd, I was at a friends last night, and we were playing games. I played a bit of mw2 online, and went total beastmode. Highlight of the evening was a 33-5 game on Rundown using a Marathon + Lightweight + Ninja shotgun class.

I disagree completely. If you're camping back with a sniper somewhere I hope you get run up on by someone.

Yea + if you stay in the same spot, your bound to be killed easy. Learn to run back and forth to high traffic areas. Secondary's are there for a reason. So are claymores.

A sniper's damage stays the exact same over any range =]
The leaves on the roof on favela actualy block bullets completly xD even with FMJ, its quite hilarious.

I hate that shit. So annoying. Reminds me of the full clip of hitmarkers posted by penguinz0 on youtube. Apparently there is a wall that minimizes damage to the extreme on highrise.

He deserves it for having to get on the roof in the first place.

Also, I don't find him funny honestly. He calls it Modern (Insert not even remotely witty word here) 2 most likely because he's terrible. js

oh yeah...
how the **** do I get on the high spots in highrise?!
today I saw some guy walking over the crane O_O.
sniped him halfway...

He's not actually that terrible lol. He does that for Entertainment purposes. My point was the hitmarker issue.

I think he is. Anyone who QQs as much as he does is probably bad.

As for the hit marker issue, my point still stands. If he has to be on the roof in the first place, he deserves it.

^ The point of me mentioning that at all was the fact that is that someone took a whole clip of hitmarkers. Adding on to the point of leaves acting as a viable surface of protection along with other surfaces that don't really make much sense. Although I do agree it's ridiculous to exploit the roof as well as the crane on highrise. Although with the set up, it seems like they intended the crane to be used, otherwise the chance of it all being placed out so coincidentally to get on would be odd.

ever sense i turned off vertical sync iv been doing better o.o idk if the +30fps really help that much. 60fps with vsync 90-100 without

Anything over 60 is useless I thought? The human eye can't tell a diff or something like that.

wait...how does one 'use' the hitmarkers??
they just mark a hit, right? What's the issue?

a hitmarker indicates you hit someone (they occur when shooting killstreaks also)
for instance if you shoot someone in the head but get no hitmarker, it means latency was not on your side and you didn't hit him. Each gun is commonly known to only take a certain number of shots to kill. Snipers is what pisses ppl off the most. Stopping Power with Intervention/barret almost always kill on the first shot. People get so mad when they get a hit marker but not kill or even assist on that shot. You often find yourself surprised by someone and squeeze of a few round into them thinking your hitting them, but unless you get hitmarkers, you might as well be pissing on them cause your not doing any damage most likely cuz your already dead server side.

This is a sniper rifle that isn't used only for sniping. Remember the M14 in COD4? It's exactly like this sniper rifle. I do amazing with this class and yes, a lot of times I shoot way more than 2 bullets.

lol, had a game where i started 11-0 on fuel TDM & there was a party of 3 on the other team. i killed one of the guys 6 of those 11 times. i assume he was angry because he was charging the area i was holding (area next to a+building) pretty blindly.

right when i call in my ac130, one of the other guys starts standbying until it's gone. managed to pick up a couple kills at the start of it anyway.

AC130 is making me so mad.. Everytime I call it in, everyone hides in the buildings.. by the time my team cleans it out, I get like 1 multi kill only before it's gone.. (from spawn locations)

chopper gunner is better ^_^
no buildings are safe
the shots seem to go through almost everything xD.

A lot of buildings reduce the damage to an extreme if they do hit em. Painkiller targets with the cg is so annoying. In Demo the best thing to do is save chopper for the second or 3rd round and switch to a class with DC Pro.

unlocked m21.
fairly nice so far. it's nicely spammable, but the lack of recoil makes me unaware of when my shot has been fired -.-. I miss the 1shot kill, and will probably go back to wa2k.

I need more custom classes >_<
I've got 3 sniper setups that are in desperate need of their own slot D:

and lol got a triple kill with a sticky grenade.
