Since the PC server still down, I am decide to create a thread to share my sniping experiences in BO2.
Background:
I played COD series quite long time and performaned very well in previous series.
I play BO2 since the second day of lauch. I am mainly play groundwar mode and mostly using sniper rifles. I already got diamond camo in sniper rifles. My W/L is above 1 and my KD is about 3.(cant remeber the number of total kills but more than 10000), my level is in Prestige 4.
First I want comment on the 4 sniper rifles in BO2.I got gold for all 4 so I have quite a lot experience on those.
ADS in Ballista is relativly short, make it to perfect suitable for quickscoping, but this is the one I least like.
SVU is far better than most people think. On the way to gold camo, it is not easy to get 250 one shot one kill,(I know I can do it in hardcore, but I still do it in softcore), by aiming the head of enemy. Half of my SVU kills are head shot, and this one have the highest RPM so you can spam it, even my weapon KD is 2.2 in SVU(lowest in all sniper rifles) I think I can manage it much better if I can not only focus on headshot but just spam on body. (I stoped use this when I finish the gold, but this gun also give me the record of 61-0 on RAID)
DSR was the weapon I used the most (my XPR just break the kills over DSP last night),It gives kill, not hitmarks. Since I mainly play groundwar, the bolt action weapon cannot satisfy my need,( I'd like to pull this one out in SnD mode or 6v6 and 4v4 match) Anyway, this one is new user friendly
XPR is the one I currently use. It has a default class. I tried it and found I got a lot of hitmarks so I transfer to DSR. After I got gold camo for all other 3, I go back to pick XPR and found it is excellent. I think this is because my game sense improved and I know where should I aim.
Secondly, let's back to title. A lot of people claimed this BO2 is not friendly to sniping which is true. They also saying runing around and quickscoping is the most efficient way to sniping in this edition which is not really.
My play style is like traditional way to snipe. finding the cover, move with the clauster of teammate, try not die therfore I can get scorestreaks, cover the teammate, eliminate the enemy fire point and so on. My enemy usually sum up this as "camp" which is not totally wrong. But sit in a corner and wait some one pass your crossshire wont bring a lot of victory and kills. I mainly got most kills and highest KD but I didnt mean to do it. The result just is the by-product of my play.
Frequently I didnot get the most highest score(2~4 often, 1st usually SMG heros), because relatve big part of my kill are come from scorestreak which only give 25points per kill. (because I didnt die that much so there are more chance I can get high scorestreak)
A lot of people may argue u suppose to pick tag and cap flag in KC and dom mode but not kills. I agree that when I have PDW class. Those SMG heros are full set, they suppose to do it, but when I carry a sniper rifle without a jacket, I think cover my mate by killing the enemies are more suitable to me and helpful to us.
Team get more kills are not always win the KC and Dom mode game, but majority of game I experienced is yes. Killing the enemy, send them to spawn again and again is truely helpful. You need to kill them first therefore you and most time your mates could pick the tag, you object is to kill them and pick the tag not pick tag from nowhere. So as long as your mate could pick tag for you, as a sniper you just need to kill, and tried not died therefore get scorestreak which kill more. Same for dom mode, they cap the flag if they alive, so make them dead as possible:) you cannot maintain 3 flags or even 2 flags just by capping it, you need to kill the defender and offender.
Thirdly, I want to share my sniping experience.
class set up:
I have 8 classes, 7 of them are sniping. The reason for I have different sniping class setup is I did a littel twist for the sniping to suit different maps.
Pick10 system:
XPR
varible zoom
Kap40
hardline
engineer
1 black hat
These 6 are same for every sniping class. they are 4 spaces
for an universal good one:
blastic CPU for XPR
dual for KAP40
scavenger
1 betty
--------------
twist including but not limit for example:
change betty to claymore in meltdown( they always cround for the little tube, make them easy to avoid your betty.
Also in PLAZA, you can equip perk1 greed and blindey or jacket to aviod unexpect death from Hunter killer or airstrike. You dont need scavenger but 2 blackhat is good idea, you can pull you scorestreak much quicker by destroy thier air stuff. you dont really need scavenger in this map.
also you can euip two lethal if you want.
There is not fixed rule but I tried to twist those thing to suit the maps, this is to maximize the efficiency and really vital to my performance, but I guess a lot of people do not have enough class space for sniping ( maybe only 1 or 2 class for sniping).
One important reason for making this COD unfriendly to sniping is you are very easy to die. I am not saying the banlance of guns but you lose some protective tools as in MW3. such as HBS and radar. Also sit-rep, awareness is not so useful under the sound status in this COD. so you need to protect urself by constantly check ur back if runout of betty, and move with teammates.
One special notice is the guardian are perfect to cover your back, like IMS in mw3, whether the enemy are ghost or whatever.
Gota go for my dinner, lets stop here, hope the server back and my tips are useful.
