Call Of Duty: Pro Roundtable: Snipers

By: Jeff Suckow - Published December 15, 2008 at 1:26 AM EST - Writer Archive
GotFrag sits down with some of North America's premier CoD4 sniper talent in this Pro Roundtable.
The sniper can be one of the most integral pieces of a team. Depending on their calls of what the opposing team is doing and their picks, the sniper can put their team in an early position to win. Through the use of smart positioning, the sniper can also shut down an entire entrance to a site, or keep the opposition from rotating between site. However, like any particular class, sniping requires some skills and attributes which might not be right for everyone. Whether you are just starting out in CoD4, or are considering a change of pace by moving to sniping, this roundtable will help you make the transition to scope.

The disadvantages of scoping are not being able to push up with confidence to try an assist your teammates, and the fact that the class is so aim-reliant

If this is the NA premiere sniper club then the community has no chance in hell of ever playing again. If im correct masteralex sucks really bad and never ever has been recognized for using the sniper. Same with 47, 2 nutjobs that dont even use that even in a scrim against -=101=- airborne or some randoms. And correct me if im wrong but robwiz doesnt even use the sniper, he just deagles

Very bad writeup. I see 2 snipers on this list, 3 tops.

"he is the one who gets the first look at what the other team is doing. The sniper is able to give his teammates a heads up on what the other team is doing"
