As usual been playing a lot of COD4 this week, decided to try use my sniper class more, with C4/Mines, stopping power, and Iron Lungs usually my perks.
I like being a sniper as you obviously try to get long distance kills, and usually since snipers try to keep their enemys at a distance, you avoid getting a high death count.
Last night I had a couple of games on Overgrown, a good sniper map I feel, first game I got 17 kills 5 deaths I think it was, not bad I thought and picked out some good shots
Couple games later got back on Overgrown this time was a lot different though, I finished on 7 kills 12 deaths I think, and it just got me thinking being a sniper on COD4 is more often than not a very hard job, part of being a sniper is obviously finding a nice spot which is pretty safe and picking off shots, but on COD4 if you do that then the enemy can simply watch Kill Cam, for example last night I got in a nice spot on Overgrown, thought to my self I will get a couple of kills then move on, got 1 kill then about 40 seconds later a cooked grenade blew me to bits, it was the guy I killed earlier, he must of simply watched kill cam then launched a grenade at where I was.
Fair enough it was a good shot I was in small space and well camouflaged, but he got me simply because once I killed him he knew where I was.
Also later in that game I got into another nice spot got couple of kills then was considering moving on around the map until a guy sprayed through the wall (must have been using deep impact) and killed, once again probably because I killed him earlier and he checked Kill Cam.
Just seems being a sniper on this game is really hard work, as kill cam gives away your spot, meaning finding a sniping spot is quite useless as once you kill an enemy he will know were you are, then since deep impact is available also then can spray through walls to kill you aswell.
I aint type of guy who get a good spot and just sit there for the full game wheres the fun in that?! Id prefer to get a few kills then move on, but even doing that is usually very very hard. Few times I played games where I will pick off one guy then try ot move, so get a kill then move, but since a lot of the maps are quite small and have a lot of twist and turns this is very hard also.
I love COD4 and I often use M16 and do well with it but I do like the sniper at times as its just cool but does anyone else feel this way at times about being a sniper?!
