    I used to seriously hate sniping/snipers in CoD4.

    Until I forced myself to do it for the challenges lol. Now, I love sniping, it's super fun running around with a sniper rifle w/ acog.

    So, do you guys like sniping?

    Sniping worked good I thought (and it was easier to do for me than other games).

    The M40A3 with the ACOG is pretty effective.

    I think sniping in COD4 is garbage. The levels are too small and I don't really think that sniping feels...idk, right.

    I've had almost exactly the same experience actually. Hated them before, but now that I enjoy doing it myself, I don't mind it as much. I still prefer regular guns though, but I break out the sniper rifle on certain maps.

    The fact that you can run around and snipe is what pisses me off. The game is trying to be super realistic and then you can run around shooting your sniper run and gun

    Sniping is fun, I just hate it when games either make it too easy or too hard/boring. In Cod4 it is so hard to snipe when you have 25 grenades, an air strike, and a heli on you at all times.

    Gets boring when like half of the team starts using em though, makes the game suck, same happened with COD2. BF Bad Company is worse though, sniper fest.

    Yeah, R700 is a real mans sniper rifle.

    I love snipers because they usually mean easy kills for me with my play style.

    I can't understand why people use the ACOG. It's a sniper for a reason. Don't turn it into a single shot rifle with an ACOG.

    I'm like you. It took me a while to get used to the massive amount of swaying the scope does even when you're lying down. But now that I've learned how to time holding my breath, it's gotten much easier. I love sniping on Overgrown. So many good positions.

    I used to only really snipe on like Overgrown and the container ship level that the name of escapes me right now.  Any other levels I've tried it on I seem to get blown to bits pretty rapidly.

    Never really had a favourite sniper rifle as you had to use them all to clear the challenges.  I think probably thought it would have to be the Dragunov.

    Sniping is way awesomer than runnin' n gunnin'. You get more satisfaction from dishing out a headshot with a Barrett

    The maps are too small in CoD4 to really make sniping feel right. And everyone hosting Hardcore servers doesn't help snipers last long either. -_-
