Call of Duty: Black Ops

I always thought it would be nice to have a perk that removes the killcam from people you've killed. That would be great for snipers.

Whenever I get sniped, I go right back to where that sniper was and I come at them hard. I love killing snipers. That wouldn't be as easy without the killcam.

There's no killcam for anybody in hardcore, which is where I see the majority of snipers for this very reason. Plus with the extra damage it's basically 1 hit kills to almost any part of the body. You do see a lot more sniping in HC because of this, but because of the map designs it's not entirely dominant like it was in a few particular MW2 maps. I prefer it this way, as it usually doesn't take too long to find where the snipers are hiding in the BO maps forcing them to move.

Yeah that is another reason why it is hard to snipe, in one sense it is great because it keeps people from "camping", but in all reality if you are acting in the position of a sniper, a sniper in the real world does just that, camps!

Once you get a kill you better have a plan to move to the next spot and setup, or you will be knifed and tea bagged before you know it!

Good point! My brother is a good sniper and he is usually plays HC. Makes sense why now. I don't play HC very much at all, which could be the reason for my inability to get a killstreak going while sniping.

Hardcore is really the only way to snipe in that game. You can use a full auto cz75 or cz75 with silencer as your secondary as it only takes a round or two to kill someone with the pistol. I went 29-8 last night playing hardcore, we still lost because my team mates sucked

Ugh, no! I need to make clips of me sniping some time, but it's fully possible in any game type. I do it in HQ or Domination most of the time.

It can be done for sure, but I like to stay consistent, and I personally have a hard time staying consistent when sniping on BO.

Post up some vids if you get time, I enjoy watching sniper vids!

Was this Hardcore TDM? If so, then yeah I would blame your teammates as well.

If this was an objectives based game, then it's harder to blame your teammates even though you were 29-8. I'm just saying that sometimes I see players have a good K ratio like 3:1 to 5:1 and they still lost the game (h/q, domination, etc) b/c they didn't help w/ objectives and just camped/sniped.

Warriors should never smile

Lol stupid phone sometimes autochanges a word for no apparent reason, so it changed sniping to smiling.

 

[NomarFachix]

I put up a 123-6 in HQ the other day Only had like 3 caps and 2 defends, but we shut them out so it's all good!

Haha I was wondering about this one!

Played a game of Sharpshooter and the first gun was the death machine. Don't play it that often but didn't know you could get that as a weapon.

 

[Malak]

Finally found a class I can play for TDM. I run lightweight pro, warlord pro, second chance pro. AK74 with grip/red dot. The auto pistol as secondary. With this class I actually switch to secondary weapon a lot, sometimes just because I run out of ammo in primary. Was pretty effective, first 5 matches averaged 5:1 ratio which is awesome for me.

If you're using Warlord and running out of ammo, try swapping your red dot for extended mags or dual mags. Dual mags will actually give you extra ammo, too.

I know but my secondary works fine. I walked into a room of 5 and walked out just fine, I pick up guns all the time. Just went 20/3 on Crisis TDM, had to switch guns 3 times because I kept running out of ammo, but I got lucky and had an ak74 and commando both drop near me. Of course even though I had best score on server, my team was so bad that we lost.

id swap out Scavenger pro for lightweight. pretty much makes every gun have 240 bullets in reserve

Had an interesting evening 2 nights ago. Was playing my usual Pure on Cracked and faced a level 50 prestige 15 god. This guy just didn't miss. Thank goodness he just sat there and sniped and I just ignored his location so our team kept the score close. I did kill him with some RPGs a few times just to annoy him (hey if I know where you are you better believe I will launch some rockets!).

After this we played Nuketown. The guy was again sniping and I was just launching rockets towards all sorts of corners. I ran around with my shotgun and got 28 kills to 15 deaths. He was something like 8 and 2. The next Nuketown match he switched to his shotgun class and we just kept sprinting towards the middle and shooting eachother. We both ended in the 20s with a 1:1 K/D. He was laughing afterward and thanked me for the good time.

Last weekend my roommate was playing with me and we encountered something weird on Summit. 2 of our players warped under ground and were just firing smgs sounding off. It was very odd and the 2 players just kept running around off the screen and doing no damage but causing a hell of a ruckus. This was not a local issue as I could see opponents trying to locate the pair and failing to do so.

I don't really need it. Lightweight is more useful.

Unless you're rushing or you fall a lot (and who does that?), LW isn't very practical. If you're not one to rush a lot, I'd suggest swapping it for something else. Moving too quickly can get you killed

I would have to agree with this statement.

 

[Anubis]

i would agree as well, even when rushing i don't use lightweight, ghost, hardline, flackjacket and scavenger are all better perks IMO

 

[fbrdphreak]

Yeah, I only use LW if I want a class to screw around with on a small map. Even when I'm playing Domination, I don't try to rush the B flag because without flak jacket you get killed nearly immediately.

go to youtube and search matt of war black ops, some of my clips are ok but a few are were i got so angry i recorded the bs like gun game i shot my buddy point blank twice with a shotty and he ran tru and knifed me

I am always rushing. I only use lightweight in CTF, DOM, and TDM. Otherwise I use hardline in other modes.

Knifing in COD has always been FUBAR. It boils my blood when I put two shots into some chump's chest and he's still able to lunge and knife me. I have no problem with the lunge itself, but a single shot to the target's head or chest should stop it dead in its tracks.

I'm always rushing, too - CTF and HQ - but LW is overrated. It doesn't add that much extra speed. Take Ghost Pro on the other hand - if someone gets a gunner up in the air in an objective gametype, it's game over.
