Quick Sniping Vs. Prone Sniping- The Lowdown...

[Go Pre]

Stay on topic. Contribute to original idea. If those two rules cannot be followed I...I'll do something... :smile:

Sure anyone can quicksnipe just like anybody can play socom, question is are they elite or just average?

Me, I'm elite, I've taken out 3/4s of a 16 man squad on S3 and 6 people on a 8 man squad in S2. Personally, I think proning is harder for me, maybe because i've never proned before and I just decided to try it and didnt like it.

QS the way I do takes skill, when you got two people chargin at you and you quicksnipe both of them when they're maybe 10 feet away at most is skill, your not gonna find some noob quicksniper doin that.

Anyone wanna play me in a snipe off 1 on 1, good luck takin that 0-6 like a man.

not even half the people on s3 can quicksnipe.

25% of people on s3 can jumpsnipe. most people that snipe on s3 are prone. prone sniping doesnt take any skill at all. especially all these noobs use bipods, the scope doesnt even move.

now to me, socom2 sniping is really easy. the scope doesnt move and it isnt really fun to me. thats just my opinion.

ive always loved sniping since the start of socom2. socom2 i would snipe but i got bored because their was a limit of what you can do. now in socom3, i can jump snipe, i can jump off something high, and i can snipe with a medium scope on close quarter maps. all this stuff just keeps me from not getting bored.

so sniping on socom3 > socom2 =]

uh. i vote for prone snipers because, as far as i know, thats what snipers do. QSing pisses me off and makes me hurl my SOCOM 3 disk at my wall. The only time i play S3 anymore is when there are no sniping rooms and run n gun rooms. I just think that sniping is all around boring, i want to see action packed firefights. But thats just me.

That's what snipers do? This isn't real life, you might want to understand that before posting anymore.

Quicksniping actually takes skill, as opposed to proning. It takes zero skill to lay down, have no recoil, shoot 3 shots per second, and have a silenced sniper. There's no skill at all, anyone can do it.

Quicksniping doesn't take as much skill as practice. If you practice it, it's not bad at all. You do have to time your shots, and line them up (unless you have high look speeds and just spray like an idiot...). There's skill involved, a lot more than laying down in a bush.

Hold up, everybody !

I started a threat about quicksniping a few months ago, i never did get any kind of respectable reply.

I really like quicksniping, Im a good prone sniper, and im a good mobile sniper, im only so-so at QS, I have really good games and horrible games with it...

My previous thread asked for some advice as how i might improve my technique during QS, I understand the basic moves, but how the hell do you do it all so fast? is it just practice?? ive been QSing for a few months now, and Im in sort of a rut. Im just not seeing any improvement, or maybe its just that everyone else is improving right along with me, and thats why...

Id just like some tips, if some of you would oblige. Thanks beforehand.

wait, so if alot of people can get alot of kills by quicksniping can't we go ahead and classify it as a "noob tactic"? i mean, that's what happens with guns that get alot of kills or anything else that also gets alot of kills right? the f90, the 203, the vehicles, and now quick sniping can all be classified as noob tactics at this point correct? lmao

[ThaReNeGaDe]

prone sniping pisses me off. i rather die by a good quicksniper then a prone snipers.

thats why i love to vote them off. i hate campers. i mean i camp as a tactic you might say, like its a close game and its 2v1. but i dont camp the whole game and consider yourself good. i usally dont camp, its only at certain momments.

The WHOLE socom isn't realistic, so don't even give me that.

Can you read Otter? I said, there are many aspects of the game that are unrealistic, just none as far fetched as quick sniping. I never said that quick sniping was the only unrealistic aspect of the game. So don't give me your cry baby bull$hit. Every single one of your posts is some smart a$$ comment either flaming a member or bashing the game. You are the sorriest excuse of a mod on this site. You said yourself you don't even play this game anymore so why the hell are you constantly on here whining and complaining. My post was completely positive and it only expressed my opinions on sniping rooms. Get over yourself you phucking loser. All you do is spread negativity on this site and piss off members who actually try and discuss the game that we play. You don't like the game so find something else to do with your time. Your parents should have hugged you more as a child because you definitely have some deep rooted anger issues.

I have to agree. Otter, if you don't play the game, don't put in your opinions about the game. It is your job as a moderator to control the forums. Not to make sarcastic remarks that actually encourage the corruption of these forums. I'm not saying your a bad mod, but you could make changes.
