Is Sniping Good or Evil?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 6:44 pm

Are you one of those people that enter a first person network game, find a shady hiding spot and start racking up the headshots? I live to take you guys out. I generally get popped several times before I'm able to flush out the offender but I always get them. It is wrong to just sit and snipe or is it just a natural part of the multiplayer gaming experience?

It is evil, but very good... I kill loads of people that way

I snipe on Call of Duty, the most awesome World War II game of all time. Popping those skulls and seeing You killed (name here) in big, bold white letters is the equivalent of getting a strike in bowling.

Battle field 1942 is the best WWII game, by a long way

For multiplay, yes, but the single player in Call of Duty is unparalleled for its realism and just wow-inducing cinematic-like scenes. The Battle of Stalingrad is outstanding--far better than the Omaha Beach mission in Allies Assault.

This all sounds pretty cool. I haven't gotten the chance to play either of those games. The closest thing I've played (and I'm sure both Foul and Hier with scoff) is Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Pretty realistic and true to WWII until you get to the undead. Sniping seem pretty realistic and it comes in handy for completing your mission not just racking up head shots. I'll have to try both of the games you guys have mentioned.

Sniping is great. If you play Iron Storm (brilliant game, btw), it is painful because 1/5 enemy soliders is a sniper.
I'm not certain about Call of Duty because it sounds very short; I refuse to spend so much money on a game that will be finished in 7hrs.

Well, Ur-Vile, I believe it's all about quality over quantity with Call of Duty. I beat it in one day, basically (played it all night and then went to bed and finished during the duration of the next day). But it's damn fun to replay, and honestly, I'd say the game's worth your hard-earned dough. Definitely! Don't let the length get you down. It will amaze you--especially the Battle of Stalingrad.

Getting a strike in bowling!?!?!?!!!!

Foull, that is the single funniest metaphor for ecstasy (or a peak experience) that I have ever seen! BOWLING!!!!! ROTFLMAO!

You must really like bowling! Or you just didn't wan't to embellish the sniping experience too much!! LOL

Gotta love it...bowling!

I think a little of both!

You see, I got 1st place in my 4th grade league in bowling. *Brushes self off, smiling radiantly* And well, whenever I made a strike, I'd clench my fist and shake it in victory, going "Yesss!" It was quite exhilarating, yes. It just feels great to do the best at what you like doing! So whenever you snipe someone in the head, the feeling just feels as it did during my bowling years. Ah, the ecstasy! *drools*

Honestly, I was a fat porker in 4th grade. What else was I gonna do but play baseball in RIGHT FIELD (for 5 years) and BOWL?!
