(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This isn't a complaint, but I'm wondering what sort of things happen on the COD that don't happen in real life. I've always said that games aren't unrealistic but they take a snapshot of dysfunctional life and compact it into one.

The most obvious one for me is 'Quickscoping'. I know there has to be a place that is the centre of the community where some people only play COD just for sniping and they have there own kind of playstyle E.g. Sniping defensively at the edge of map, sniping like its a submachine gun/shotgun and most of all the Trickshotting something which I despise.

In Black Ops 2, guns are carefully specialised with their own ability, which is why sniping in BOII has become more difficult in close range battles and when dealing with multiple enemies but much easier to kill in long range due to low recoil, no sway and rate of fire suited to get a accurate shot on the upper body.

However, most players have to suffer due to the way sniping is implemented even thou these are those guys who treat der sniper like its a submachine gun and go like 5-20 hurting the team and some who are incredibly good at it and rare are really beneficial to the team as they can take out multiple of enemies in any range.

Despite its drawbacks, Sniping is one of the most popular things online because of its bolt-action nature, which can be more exciting to use than any other gun. Also, sniping is very popular on youtube, as it is believed to require more skill to use and fun. As a result, It will be extremely difficult to dominate enemies and earn high killstreak/scorestreaks rewards like any of the historical cods.

In my opinion Black Ops 2 sniping doesn't require much skill you just have to play smartly but I do miss the freedom to just run around and destroy like on other cods (Apart from MW3). Up close, snipers sucks! You would be incredibly lucky to survive in most battles. I kind of find it funny how ders no aim assist on snipers and yet they made it slow.

I guess less people will be raging at snipers now as they won't get killed easily.
However, still expect them useless team mates that go super negative and spinning off buildings and yet rage at hardscoping and hate playing against 'tryharders' then complain on twitter.

Looking for Suzzy
I hate this bullshit that "when quickscoping your hurting the team by going 5-20". Well let me just throw some accusations in the open (like you have done here). What if these quickscopers are actually so garbage with a sub-machine or shotgun that instead of going 5-20, they go 1-31? They are so garbage with regular guns that when they pick that sniper up they have some skill to implement that, actually, statistically, IS helping the team. Rather then using another gun, they are BETTER with the sniper and so this choice is beneficial. And, who really is to say the reason they go 5-20 is because their using a sniper? Maybe they actually suck in general, maybe their girlfriend is screaming at them while they're playing. And maybe, just maybe, they're loaded off their ass and are too drunk to even talk so they play some COD and attempt to play.

All I'm saying is, when you point fingers, you're only pointing in a mirror. A team will be as good as it's weakest, whether that be stats, to attitude.

And a last thought; when I'm 720'ing off a building and keep dieing, the ones who bitch can go f*** themselves. I paid $60 for this game I can bust a load on the disc if I want to. The developers showed us how to play, but they also gave us a choice.

Cake is a lie
Snipers are very very good on this game.

As far as in close of course you're at a disadvantage. The same way you're at a huge advantage from range. I consider myself a "medium scoper" lmao. That means I'm not taking more than 0.7 seconds to aim and pull the trigger but I'm not running into spawns recklessly like I have an SMG either.

Black Ops 2 has some decent spots to snipe. I also enjoy not worrying about people taking easy way out and using Support while sniping.

Problem is QSing is a tool not a playstyle alot of snipers miss that.
Snipers are like shotguns need a playstyle to do well with. They don't forgive you if you mess up.

I do mess around with snipers now and again. QSing is iffy for me.....so I try not to use it too much.

I prefer the snipers in this game, it is as close to COD 4 as possible. There's no Sleight of Hand Pro like in MW2, in that game so as long as you can abuse the auto-aim, I mean aim assist you can pretty much get your target. But now it takes longer to zoom in so it takes more skill. It'll be harder for 12 year olds to snipe so hopefully this will discourage them from doing so. So now when I have that one QSing random who always goes completely negative, maybe we'll have a chance.

I'm a good quickscoper, since CoD 4. BO2 can compare to MW2 a little bit because when you zoom in, your sway starts. Unlike in MW3, your sway doesn't start until you're scoped in, which made quickscoping in MW3 more trivial. It gave an easier line-up.
Close range quickscoping is the most difficult to do. Most people aim in, and drag shot. You have to scope in and aim in close range at the same time. 90% of "quickscopers" don't do that.
