    I used the default sniper class on Nuketown Domination and went like 30-10 with default killstreaks, right after I prestiged.

    So at this moment, I'd pretty sure Nuketown is the best sniping map.

    I dunno, Hanoi seems to have good LOS for snipers. So does the map with the beach, whatever that's called.

    EDIT: Hah, AK-74u is my new best friend. Not great from a distance, but it can get the job done.

    Scat is basically wrong again. Array, WMD, Radiation, Jungle, and Havana all have room for sniping. But it's pretty limited on everything but Array, WMD, and Jungle.

    Honestly, I agree with Scat. All those maps you're talking about have room to snipe, but few of them have places where sniping is more effective than just using an AR.

    You can use any gun you want that's not a sniper rifle and kill people fine in this game.

    My dual wielded PM63 class rips people up

    That's what I mean when I say all the guns are exactly the same.

    Shotguns.

    Man, you're just trying to find problems with this game.

    All of the guns in this game use bullets to kill people. Would it kill them to put some variety in there?

    continued dropshotting argument under the spoils

    personally my tactic to deal with dropshotters is explained thusly:

    prelim: enemy and I encounter face to face
    1) enemy dropshots
    2)a. I stafeshot so he can no longer shoot me, I kill dropshotter
    2)b. (optional) I die
    3) I dust myself off and continue on as normal

    it seems the people who endlessly bitch on internet forums deal with dropshotters in this way:

    prelim: enemy and I encounter face to face
    1) enemy dropshots
    2) I stand still and shoot above the dropshotter's head then I die
    3) I endlessly bitch about it on internet forums

    Alternatively:
    1) I come face to face with an enemy
    2) We both immediately flop to the ground shooting
    3) I kill him
    4) I get up and still think it's a stupid way to play the game

    I know it may sound crazy, but it's possible to not be getting killed by something regularly and still think it's a stupid practice that detracts from the game. Saying "lol suck less kthx" over and over is a juvenile response.

    I wasn't saying "lol suck less kthx" so don't be doing silly juvenile debating tactics kthx. I'm actually closer to saying "lol deal with it kthx" except I actually gave a way to deal with it so it'd be even closer to "deal with it, here's how: ... but also accept the fact that sometimes you actually get outgunned and there really isn't much you can do about that."

    notice the lack of lol's and kthx's in that response, that was intentional. Having those in your response is very similar when in real life you mock imitate someone you find annoying by intentionally doing an impression that sounds really stupid and the target of your disdain doesn't actually sound like, all in an effort to make them sound that much more annoying.

    So please if you could take all the herp and derp out of your future posts then we can discuss this topic civilly and like that of grownups.
    lol kthxbye

    Please. You don't get to dismiss everyone's well reasoned arguments as "endless internet bitching" and then try and act like some beacon of civility. You might not have said "suck less kthx", but when the copy-paste response to anyone who brings it up boils down to "shoot them more", it's hardly constructive.

    I'm ready for ~4 maps with open sightlines, so that we can finally start using the sniper rifles.

    I would not mind this in the slightest. The maps we have right now are pretty decent overall, but they all seem really close-quarters. I don't have a single custom class right now with a sniper rifle or an ACOG, just because there are no maps open enough to warrant it.

    what part of my response was copy-pasted? Am I not allowed to give step-by-step instructions on how to deal with dropshotting? Also what part of it boils down to "shoot them more?"
    There is nothing wrong with going prone and shooting.
    There is nothing unbalanced about doing it because you have the ability to do it to just the same effect as anyone and everyone else.
    I don't do it, I personally don't like it when people do it, I'm not saying "lol I'm bettar than jooos!1" or "lol dakka dakka dem boysz wit' more WAAAUUUGGGHHHH." I even agree that it is dumb. BUT rather than bitch about it endlessly (how many pages has this back and forth been?) I proposed a solution for dealing with it that works sometimes.

    what else is left to do? To what end does complaining about it serve? I'm trying real hard to not put words in your mouth, but I mean here's the FORTRAN play-by-play of this discussion:

    00 killed by dropshot
    01 complain on forum about dropshot
    02 receive a proposed solution by people on forum
    03 reject proposed solution, call proposer names
    04 GOTO 01

    The source of my hyperbolic assertion that you "complain about it endlessly online" is clearly demonstrated on line 04.

    I'm not arguing whether your opinion that "dropshotting is silly" is right or wrong, I'm just wondering why my proposed solution is not good enough for you and/or why my proposed solution is an insult to your intelligence and your dignity?

    On an entirely other note, can someone explain to me how the theatre works? I'd like to compile a montage of awesome moments, which I assure you fine gentlemen will be done so ironically, but I'm not entirely certain what my best approach should be? How do all the tryhards on youtube do it?

    there, hidden under the fold so anyone who really wants to continue the loop can still see if they really want to be subjected to the horror.

    Also, watched woody's subguns video and I'm saddened by him not calling the 74s a broken overpowered weapon and how he said it'd be used "by competitive" gamers when he really meant to say "by tryhard bitches."

    edit: I find 50% of the time, the russian announcer guy calls Bravo "Brava" and then I think about the beer of summer.

    After the past week I've realized that I'm only ever using Spy Plane, Counter Spy Plane, and Care Package. Probably because my performance is so spotty that I'm lucky to get even a 5 kill streak combined with the absence of the "oh, got my Harrier, now it'll get me my Pavelow" factor.

    But the planes and the crate are always useful, and I can get them pretty regularly. I've got a team class with Hardline that's entire job is to get both planes up as much as possible.

    And please, no mention of that damn car. I really, really hate that thing for some unfathomable reason.

    Digging the new thread title, lol.

    As for gun flavor...I totally disagree. There's a ton of flavor, and while I have my preferences, sometimes I'll jump from the AK47 to the AUG to the Commando because they're all fun. I love both the FAL and M14. I've used all the SMG's and while some really don't fit me, none of them are "unusable."

    People need to get out of their comfort zones and risk going 5-15 for a round with a gun they hate. Also, play Sharpshooter, that'll let you try a bunch of different guns. I got the mastery/1000 kill challenge for every primary and most secondaries in MW2....you just have to play a bit with everything to see the difference.

    You know it is really easy to hear coming and it explodes from one bullet or any explosion?

    I probably explode 3 time's as many RC-XD's as RC-XD's that explode me. I mean, it is like 500 times less infuriating than a Pred, because you can't shoot down a pred.

    I just bitch about it when it kills me because I need a reason for me to retain my glorious superiority at the game. I do feel that it shouldn't be matched with the spy plane killstreak simply because there's never anything for me to shoot at when doing the ghost and/or hardened pro challenges.

    edit: Also, I went back to an old free-to-play MMOFPS recently just to give me a taste of something else without having to spend forever having steam retrieve a game. The game was called Combat Arms. Anyone who feels the need to rage and/or complain about balance in BLOPS should give Combat Arms and evening of play. It makes me so grateful to be playing BLOPS again.

    Honestly...I just don't like the RC-XD because I mean.

    I just compare it to the Spy Plane

    - You're basically giving away a 3-KS for 1 more kill unless you're lucky, a kill you can probably get yourself
    - Spy plane has much greater recon ability
    - Spy plane helps out your entire team and has a much higher kill potential than the RC.

    I mean at least with the predator missile it counted towards the next KS so it was a "safe" way to get another point, but RC doesn't even have that.

    You yourself even said that all the guns are the same. Thus, there can't be many "bad" guns. I only said 5-15 because some guns just don't suit the way you play, damage statistics aside. Think recoil, fire rate, damage dropoff, etc. You just have to experiment to find what will work for you, a process during which you will occasionally go like 5-15.

    More than anything I really meant "a single tube will destroy one" cause that's pretty much what I always do.

    Cause the only class I used is still the first gun and first attachment I bought when I was rank 5 or whatever.

    M16 + tube.
