SNIPER WITHOUT THE POWER OF A SNIPER

I love to snipe, and my favorite of the snipers is the L96A1. What really gets on my nerves though is the fact that the snipers do not live up to their real life potential like they should.

The L96A1 fires a .308 Winchester round that is more than capable of taking out an enemy with one shot in real life. This is why this caliber is so popular in deer hunting today. But in Black ops, just like all of the other sniper rifles, I get hitmarkers much too often. I am shooting them in the chest/head too when this happens.

To top all of this off, I am not even trying to quick scope(which I believe quick scoping is not truly possible in Black Ops by the way for all of the wishful believers out there). I am merely shooting just like a sniper should. I scope in fully, take my time, hold my breath while slowly placing the cross hairs on a STATIONARY target, and firing. Then what happens......that dreaded little white X pops up on my screen notifying me that I didn't kill the target and rubbing it in my face.

Does this happen to anyone else? and if so does it annoy you?

happens all the time to me man i stopped using the sniper its useless and everyone runs with flak jacket now.. so dumb it needs to be taken out or used properly you can die even if you are shot in the chest with a body vest on.

Sniping on Black ops is a complete failure. Trearch tried too hard to get rid of quick-scoping that it completely destroyed the art of sniping all together

tbh I get less hit markers with the PSG than the L96A1, I don't know if that is just me cause I use the PSG more or what, but it seems to be more consistant with 1 shot kills
