montage sniping tirade

pistol footage is more impressive and interesting than sniper footage.


1. Hit someone once in the head

OR

Hit someone twice in the body and once in the head.


Which of these two is harder to pull off?


2. Anyone who can 3sk with a pistol can automatically also kill with a sniper (because 2 body shots to kill), but anyone who can kill with a sniper can't necessarily 3sk.


3. like 60% of the sniping footage i see is people shooting across giant maps at people who can't shoot back, or even worse, people who are looking the other way and running in a straight line. Just because you killed 4 people in one sniper clip doesn't mean its cool, funny, good, laudable, or worth putting in a video. The other 40% is usually headshotting some guy at close range. but as addressed above, headshotting a guy once at close range is EASY in comparison to doing it 3 times in quick succession.


4. twitch sniper shots imply you were caught off gaurd, and being caught off guard implies either the enemy was being really sneaky or you were just being dumb (/not thinking). i usually presume the latter.


5. the only reason people include sniping footage so often is because having halo tell them 'you killed so-and-so' makes them feel good or as if they've done something praise-worthy. i'd rather see you shoot the entire OS off a guy, and not kill him, then see you kill 4 guys across the map running in a straight line with a sniper.


tldr pistoling is harder than sniping, yet so many montages seem to be dominated by sniper footage.

Oh, i thought montages could be entertaining, and not have to show how good someone is. I see.......

sorry, my audience was for those implying they had skill by demonstrating mostly sniper footage. a majority of montages are usually for the purpose of showcasing skill with little regard to factors like fun or style. personally i enjoy the stylish and fun more than the skill-oriented ones

stop making pointless threads to plug ur vid.. xD

the people who play hpt don't play small maps, which is where you are most likely to get pistol clips.

ya nobody uses pistols on bg!
look how many more sniper clips than pistol clips there are in montages of bg. not many halo players are good at pistoling nowadays.

I agree with voodoo flare, both weapons require different skills. I'm good with a pistol, but I lack patience so my sniping skillz aren't so hot >.>

You know what this means guys! Bring out the needler/plasma pistol montages >:)

Exactly, sniping is easier to kill with. This means more people are going to do it and more people are going to get "clips" with it thus meaning more sniper footage.

Pistol footage always looks nicer but, i really hate watching my own pistol footage because i don't like missing bullets so I'm usually very picky with pistol clips.

i kind of agree but i like sniper footage more because its easier to shoot with a pistol than a sniper, at least with how i shoot (b@D). and just because you pull off a flick shot doens't mean you were playing dumb or the enemy was outsmarting you...it's not black or white. funny you comment about a person playing dumb...as i recall in 5v5 sidewinders you play "blocker", and I don't mean d-blocker either

because of spread on the pistol, you could aim at the tip of a guys head and miss. but if did that with a sniper, it'd hit, because there's no spread on the sniper. therefore you can be less accurate with the sniper and get kills (as compared to a pistol headshot).

regarding faster it usually seemes people take their time when sniping, as opposed to pistoling where if you don't kill the guy quick he'll probably kill you.

i actually think the opposite, and i also feel it's easier to flick shot accurately with a pistol than a sniper

well i'm telling you its a fact the pistol has spread and the sniper doesn't (or has comparatively minimal).

go shoot a wall with a pistol, slowly, and your shots will still vary in where they land. do that with a sniper and the landing location won't vary.

I think people feel like a pistol clip isn't worth using unless it's 4 shots or less for each kill. I'd rather see a double kill with 10 shots on people strafing hard core than a double kill with 8 shots on people in a straight line.

but sniping is easier, no one can argue that.

edit: flare, thats why you pump and dont hold :/

1. Sniper doesn't have the magnetism pistol has.
2. Sniper has 8 less bullets so you can't spam as much
3. Pistol has pretty much no spread unless you hold down shoot

Thus you need to be more accurate with the sniper.

Edit- This is generally why most people aim with the sniper and spam shoot with the pistol.

You're forgetting you also get 144 shots of pistol and only 28 of sniper (which rarely happens)

took a vid to demonstrate pistol is a lil inaccurate even when fired slowly.

it makes a difference at medium, and especially long range.

http://www.wegame.com/watch/snipepis/

i learned something new tho. when you snipe at 8x its more accurate than if you snipe without zooming. but the same didn't seem to apply to 2xing on the pistol. i did the sniper thing multiple times and the unzoomed firing was less accurate every time.

tldr 8x zoom when sniping whenever possible :|
