[quote="Jedi Marksman":58d01]If you're going to run around shooting people up close then the sniper rifle is wasted. You are supposes to use a weapon's advantages in combat. The sniper rifle is not meant for close quarters combat. A sniper is not a close quarters soldier. Read about sniping, what is taught to a sniper. I think there are too many Quake/CS refugees who do not appreciate the ART of sniping. Don't bother with a reply that MOHAA is based on the Quake engine because I know that and I have never played Quake or Counter-Strike, but hey, it's just a game. Have fun! biggrin:[/quote:58d01]




appreciate the art of sniping? i dont think u understand closed quarters combat with a sniper rifle agianst another, or even against an smg. sometimes theres so much involved that u have to process in ur mind, happening in all of 5 seconds. lets say ur playing stalin, snipers only server. ur running up the stairs in the main house, and u get to the top floor. u look at the hole above to get a nice shot in the back kill. nothing. u lean to look to the room on ur right. some people would choose the right why? who knows. i chose it because i had a reason. on the left, theres probably gonna be one or more snipers in there. their not watching their backs their watching the plank ahead, cause all n00b snipers keep going there and taking their chances. plus, the room on the right has the plank. chances are some guy was on the roof, and now hes coming into the house cause hes been found. also, if there is a guy in the right, its gonna add a ton of more confusion when u engang a battle with the guys in the left room. so u look.. nothing. u lean back in, just incase anyone saw u from the left room and lined up for a shot. turn around, and now u go to the room where ur sure people are gonna be. sure enough theres a man standing right at the plank, shooting ur teamates as they come. theres another sniper leaning off of the concrete balconey. u shoot the guy on the balconey first, and run to the corner. then u reload my single shot u took, and get ready to fight the guy wthat was covering the plank, because from watching him shoot and seeing the name ontop of the screen reading *[WaffenSS] Cethin* u know ur gonna have a hard time. sure enough u start dancing, trying to see in to check if he knows ur coming. sure enough hes in the corner waiting for u. he shoots and misses, u run in tryign to get him on reload. he dodges and u miss because of a mixture of excitement, and poor timing. now ur both in the same room, hes got his shot now, and ur relodaing. u do a mixture of leaning side to side, and sitting. keep running into him, because it adds more to his confusion. never jump because thats always an easy kill. so u keep dodging, watching his movements and his gun. he shoots, and hits ur leg. now ur at 4 health, and better make this shot or ur screwed. so cethin is dodging like a mad man. or *dancing* if u well. now, after watching him for just 2 seconds u know he likes to jump. waht do u do? u keep moving , and wait until he jumps sure enough he does. now u dont just jump to the chance of shooting, u set ur crosshair to where hes gonna land. u wait, and as soon as he hits the wood flloor, bam... u put a shot in his upper torso. u congratulate cethin on providing such a wonderful fight. that jedi campsman is art. theres no excitement in hiding, theres no |337 skill in becoming just another pathetic sniper wannabe.
