sniper respawn question

I dont like it because its retarded, you would never see a Navy SEAL doing that in real life except maybe to get away from a sniper. And the worst is when they do it with a semi-auto rifle because they kill no scope as well

You never see Navy Seals glithcing insdie walls, or being able to see around walls or pulling their cord do you? For the 100th time, THIS IS A GAME, NOT REAL LIFE and it's meant to be a game, only to add realism for authenticty to a certain degree to make it more fun, making it completely reaslistic would not make Socom fun. Some of you people seem to overlook that.

This is exactly why i DON'T go in these sniper respawn rooms anymore WARLOCK. To me they don't add any skill to you for sniping, REAL GAME SITUATIONS (where you have to worry about yoru left,right and behind while sniping, not knowing where people are coming from,etc) are what make a sniper good IMO. I'm sorry but in no way can you duplicate "real game" situations in respawns, to me they are pointless. This also goes for learning weapons. You can't learn something when thier is no penalty IMO. Just me though, others are different.

So basically everything you could have learned playing a real game except for having to watch your back (which on this game is a must unless your playing with a friend who when he says "i got your back"...really has your back. I agree you can learn stuff from them but once again to me its...NOT THE SAME. There is no penalty for doing bad in them. Atleast ingame where it counts you are pushed more to try and do many more things plus you actually get to use and practice with your handgun at the same time which to me is one of the most important aspects of sniping...which is being able to handle your buisness with a handgun if shyt goes wrong. People need to stop worrying about thier kills to death ratio...trust me even if you practice in "live" online games and suck a few games trying to learn a weapon it will even out and you will start to do good. Stats also even out. Hell before the first reset and before i got somewhat descent at the game i had over 500 deaths (LuFeng is and has been my only online name) and before the first reset i managed to get it from 500 deaths over kills to 300 kills over deaths, im sorry but thats pretty damn good and thats with learning new weapons as well. It's all in your head. Just like military training...they even tell you you can only learn and practice so much stuff but when the real thing hits thats what determines the real deal.

Guess what, Vigilance respawn helps you snipe better. You get better at scoping people quickly, get better at seeing people, and get more accurate. Of course you don't watch your back because it's not a real ame, you just snie to get better at sniping. Then when you get better at it sniping in real games where you do have to watch your back becomes easier because you can snipe better. Playing in a real room and trying to practice sniping is much more difficult, trying to practice and you get sniped but don't know where, get killed by rushers and then you have to wait just for the next round. It's frustrating if your not good, playing a Vigilance respawn is practice. Geez, I can't believe some of you people can't see that.
"It's dumb, you don't have to watch your back", DUH. It just helps you get better at sniping.

I think they just got tired of being seals and cant swim in water. They looked at what they could do and decided to jump. Now they're KANGAROOs. I think it's amazing. If you don't then too bad. KANGAROOs can box. SEALs just get hunted and fat.

in response 2 too tall, i agree, i hate going into a sniping game and not REALLY sniping, i mean, yeah sure, your'e using a sniper rifle, your'e shooting people with it, but your'e still not SNIPING, AND IT KINDA PISSES ME OFF...
just alittle...

Its harder to do, but it is the farthest thing from real sniping. Its called quick sniping if your looking for friends who do it look for the clans: (-), (*), <=>.
