Anyone else find it awesomely awesome?

It got just enough drift to require a little skill combined with holding breath, and the kills are usually quite satisfactory.

The occasional non-registered hit is annoying, but I guess that's 'life'.

Anyways, discuss sniping.

I think sniping is boring. I like getting in people's faces and shooting them with a shotgun.

I haven't unlocked that one yet.

I love my R700 though.

Nothing is more satisfying then nailing a bunny-hopping n00b in the face with the .50 cal.

Sniping is cool unless you're on Bloc or that other map with the hangars and stuff, then I hate you. Stop camping and defend the bomb.

Barret is awesome when you are running through buildings and run into someone and just unload the rifle
Makes me feel like Arnold when i use it, love/hate the sound of the gun.

Don't camping and defending go hand in hand?
Unless you got some secret way of offensively defending.

I rarely snipe on the hangar map. Too much garbage in the way.

G3 FTW.

I don't know why it is but sniping fails for me. My .50cal takes 2 shots to kill ALWAYS where other rifles will often kill in one shot. Also I get shitty rego with sniper rifles. If I could fix those things I would love it.

I'm a Sniper. It's tough and some shots that were obviously hits miss anyway which sucks, but it's still satisfying. My favourite rifle in CoD4 would probably be the M21, the Barrett just gives away your position too much. Plus with a semi-auto it can help you if you're caught in close range and it has higher capacity. A headshot is a one-hit-kill with any Sniper Rifle so there's no need to the limited capacity of a bolt action. I just take my time with my shots and reload after every shot, it gives your breathing a chance to slow down so you can take your next shot when you're ready.

Is the M21 the one that starts with a scope or without a scope?

M21 is the fisrt unlock sniper
M14 is the plain rifle

i like sniping in CoD4 but it isnt really that great, the guns are weak, the shots dont seem to rego properly and you get shit all ammo. i still snipe though and when the shots rego it is awesome

I hate those whores who bind mwheelup & mwheeldown to fire with the G3,, imo they are just as much exploiters as people in bf2 going through walls,,,

I do find the sniping in CoD rather gratifying when I get it right....still pretty poor at it myself though.

I love my blue Barrett. Soon to be red Barrett. Use it on nearly every map. It owns.

I dunno, my Red Barrett looks meaner than my Blue one did I reckon.

Sniping is really not made easy. The maps are designed so Snipers never have a clear line of sight and the whole breathing thing is tough - first the fact that it moves, then the fact that you get a limited amount of time where it doesn't move, then you have a long "cool-down" time in which you're crosshairs are moving like mad AND you cannot steady them until you catch your breath AND when you steady it it's not completely steady until you've been holding your breath for a couple of seconds. Then we get the whole issue where you swore your crosshair was on the enemy and it didn't hit, or when you swear you got a headshot and the guy only got injured... so when you get it right, or when you're simply "in the zone" it is a satisfying feeling.

Yep.....

One map is designed for snipers though,, Wet Work is really a sniper vs. sniper battle when your not counting the people running around amongst the containers...
oh the jolly good 32 kill streaks i have had with my snipers on wet work

I think Digital is better looking than all other camos.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Digital, Red tiger & Blue tiger are nice,,,

woodland and desert camo looks like someone shat on my weapons...

But then again,, matter of opinion

I hate the wooden look of the AK47, SVD, AK47u, RPD so i do whatever i can to make them look a little nicer

I agree with you that the weapons with different metals look best in stock colors (e.g. M14/M21)...

But the "all-(one)metal" plain grey weapons are nicer with the camo's mentioned... or gold :*)

I use the unlocked camos just as a status symbol. People can see I have a red tiger Sniper rifle and think that obviouly I can use it well.

Well, maybe not, but in my own little world they do. They also say "Hey Ty, you're so damn awesome, have some money."

EDIT: Does this mean you will give me money when i shoot you in the head with my golden Dragunov sometime soon?
