Just got out of a match where some dude named TWIGGY B absolutely decimated my team. GG dude, I would like to think the 8 guys on my squad sitting on their sniper rifles with their thumbs in their buttholes were taking notes, but I highly doubt they were lol. |

Yea I've seen a lot of peeps just sitting there taking pot shots from the absolute top of a hill or from the only building for meters around and either stay there the whole match, or continually die trying to get back to that same spot over and over. This dude definitely knew what he was doing. I switched to my starter sniper fit to try and find him (I usually like to snipe in a FPS, but for whatever reason sci fi/futuristic games all have a weird feeling when sniping to me. Not to say they're bad, i'm just no good with sniper rifles in them) and he got me three times at least, all in totally different places on the map. Places he couldn't see all of from one spot. He was definitely doing his role justice. |

I don't know the names of any of the books Niuvo, but if you can find anything on Carlos Hathcock definitely pick it up. Vietnam era Marine Corps sniper, basically THE sniper in regards to American military history. I've seen a bunch of stuff about him on the History Channel (back before it was the joke of a channel it is now) and the Military Channel. Some crazy ****. Super interesting. Pretty sure he owned the distance record for a confirmed kill in combat until somewhat recently. Think I heard a story about him where he and a Vietnamese sniper were tracking each other for like a week, and finally Hathcock caught a reflection of light bouncing of the other guys rifle through the bushes and put a round straight through the enemy snipers scope right into his eye socket. Pretty intense ****. |

I hate to be this guy, but I love love LOVED sniping in MAG. Just the ability to go prone added so much to the sniping experience. If you had the right skills acquired you could lay right out in the middle of a field if the grass was tall enough and not be seen. Pick a guy off, crawl 40 feet, pick another guy off, so on. It also helped that nothing came up when enemies put their cross hairs on you. Had dudes run nearly right over and by me more times then I can count. Apparently I got lucky. Got MAG right after it came out and only played for a few months (played hard though) before real life took away my ability to play. Sounds like that game went screaming down hill with the quickness. |
