I have to admit I loved to snipe on the last installment of Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I thought sniping although frowned upon by alot of gamers and misconstrued as camping. I think to snipe and to be a good sniper takes not only alot of patience but also alot of skill considering your sight is bouncing all around till you hold your breath then you have just a few seconds to aim and take the shot, this is a very small window of opportunity, and as we all know a good sniper definately gets his man with the first shot.

I have tried sniping in Black Ops with very limited success, and actually when I am going for longshots like on Array, and Jungle I use the M-16 with a red dot and silencer much as I would a sniper rifle. The M-16 has great range is very accurate, and because it has a three round burst your chance of hitting and putting your target down for good goes up quite a bit.

So here is my pro's and cons list of sniping and please feel free to add your own pro's and cons

Pro's
Low Kill to death Ratio.
Little Exposure to opposing players
One Shot one kill ability
If you get the right spot very hard to remove you from without being open to a sniper bullet.
Slows gameplay down alot, giving you a chance to really scan the screen
Pretty fun sniping the same enemy as her comes back time and time again to kill you.

Cons
unless you adept at quick scoping your sniper rifle is useless when heading to your sniping spot.
Limited to your secondary firearm in a quick close up fight.
Inability to snipe a enemy who Halo jumps, and uses light weight perk along with marathon.
Once you get a few kills even if you are camoflauged very well your position is compromised
Low player scores
 
they keep changing the ability to do certain things with the snipers it gets annoying to have to adjust the new snipers in black ops are a pain because of the scope in

sniping just isnt the same in black ops. trying to limit quick scoping has hurt the sniping community. they still try but not as good. i have seen some descent quick scoping in black ops. but not as many snipers.

Sniping is a 2 person job, you need 1 other guy to watch your back in case somebody comes up behind you. And instead of using the sniper rifle or M-16.. try using the M14 with an acog scope and a grip.

i really only get a sniper out if they have a sniper that's annoying me sitting on a sniper tower somewhere... i don't like the fact that sometimes you hit a guy and he dies and sometimes you hit a guy and he survives... i just wish it was consistent, like one shot one kill anytime, or two shots to kill unless it's a headshot... something like that

sniping was not ever good since black ops came out. l96 is not even 1 shot all the time and they dont have stopping power and its the most powerful sniper in the game.

I find that the PSG1 with the variable scope is the most versatile sniper rifle. I can't even count the amount of people i've no-scoped with that thing.
