Sniper Only Face-Off

[<mojo>]

I see you have Daz in the additional players list
You really want to get him in the game , i'll vouch for his sniping skill , as will anyone who's played regularly with him ...

[liewe89nl]

Ok Mojo I will trust you on that
And micky... Toby has only about 2700 springfield kills H@H@.. I suppose it was a typo ^^
I will add both Daz & Micky!

Plz, players on the list, can you usually play on a saturday afternoon!?

PS> I have only 2400 kills with Springfield, and 1300 with Gewehr, but I consider myself to be 1 of the best snipers out there anyway.
Can any1 here beat my sniper only score of 124-24 in 1 hour!?

[EFToby]

Yes was a typo!
Oh I consider My self one of the best too but not as good as you and others I feel that sniper only Is totally different than If you play In a normal server you have to be much sharper on sniper onyl than In just a normall server.I would prefer the time over 4 GMT because thats when I get back from school.

I'm of the exact opposite opinion. Sniper only you just have to be able to hit standing targets and pull the trigger first most of the time. That or actually taking out people trying to snipe someone else (still just standing). The moving targets are less frequent and less important in sniper only. Therefore more accuracy ("sharpness") is needed in a normal server where people aren't standing still when fighting most of the time.
I agree that they're very different "skills" however which is also why i think it's hard to test snipers for a clan in sniper only. His no scope and his abbilities to kill moving targets are much more important for a clan than taking out other snipers. Not saying the taking out other snipers isn't still important, but the 2 other things means alot more in a TDM.

Yes i can play on saturdays

Hope to see many of you there taking on the Platoon

You don't mean that server where i went 27-2 do you linkash? Because really. That has got to be the worst sniper server ever. They all sucked really bad. My sniper wasn't even very good that game. It was slow even for my own standards lol.
(Whenever i met you i also only tried to melee you, but we never got each other except for the one time where i accidently killed you with the pistol xD)

uhmmm I donnot agree lars...
Off course playing sniper only with a bunch of noobs doesnt take much focus.
But if you play with a good sniper you will have to focus much harder! Since it's focus and patience that will pay out then.
I remember good sniper fights with sonof.. labeo..parazit...
most of the battles took more then a minute.
Off course these battles werent really battles. Just 2 snipers trying to get to the best position hoping to outsmart and outsnipe the enemy sniper that knows where you are.
All these fights were with sonof, labeo or parazit alone.
Imagine playing all these good snipers together... in a DM.
You will need a frozen hard to stay cool in that situation!

That's what i'm saying. That's what it's all about. Nothing compareable to what sniping in a real game is about. There's a good chance you will be good at normal sniping too, but this one is only focused on pulling the trigger quickly or getting into a blind spot where the other guy simply can't see you. That those battles take so long i'm plenty experienced with myself as well. I even battled pharaoh like that once where i was only using the thompson against his sniper (from tower to 3-layer building). It just increases the odds of someone ending up behind you or another sniper spotting you from afar which will most definetly also happen alot these games. I imagine it will be more about being extremely mobile all the time rather than staying in one spot trying to take someone who has seen you out here simply because of the high average level that you mentioned.

It's fun and tense i didn't say it wasn't. I just respect sniping moving targets much more because it's far more challenging, even more so because you have to lagshoot. You can't say that you have to be sharper in a game hitting neutral (or near neutral) targets than you have to in a game with sprinting, crouching, and strafing targets.
