i havent played in so long, i'd have to go check my classes out.

curious, why do you use the intervention?

Since when is that an argument for using it?  I prefer guns that hit where I aim them, regardless of experience required.

exactly what i always stress to someone who uses that argument. sure, maybe my ACR or SCAR requires less skill and i get alot of kills with it...but, uh, isnt that the point? to get as many kills as quickly and efficiently as possible? why would i want to limit myself by using an inferior weapon that requires even more skill? never makes sense to me.

If you're good with the Intervention it is NOT an inferior weapon. There are so many more Intervention montages than with the ACR or SCAR.

There's a lot more differences in 360 and ps3 on call of duty than just the graphics.  I remember use'n the scar on 360 and be'n able to get kills very easily.  On ps3 it's not as good.  The famas is actually better... The graphics were also better on 360.  The 360 was awesome, it just kept die'n on me too much, so I had to switch.

On the intervention thing.  I agree on both sides.  It's great to have the super high KDR, but is also cool to try the more "expert" weapons.  I use the Titans on Madden to prove even more a point when I beat the Saints and Ravens.  Yeah, it's a real disadvantage for me, but that's the way I roll sometimes.

The only reason to use a sniper rifle would be in a clan match imo.  Like Search and Destroy, where you have your sniper against theirs.

Not really. It'd be like going to a redemption tournament using anything but a fast TGT deck.

*that might have changed since Disciples*

and for the record, i hate snipers/campers in general.

What's wrong with sniping?  I can see in some games why camping might be a nuisance, but sniping?  Most games, a n00b with a sniper will get more kills for your team than his.

I like sniping as well, however, I do it differently. I use a sniper on 24 player FFA matches on Killhouse (very small map)

Pretty amusing trying to point blank with a Barrett.

Halo be da best

i knowed dat

That thing you are, but one less K

It was that long ago?

feels like it. reach better blow me away.

It better be good, cuz odst failed.

Some of the best counter-strike players ever sprayed.  There's a difference between a good player spraying and a bad player spraying.  The bad player closes his eyes and moves the gun in all directions hope'n to kill the guy that jumped outta no where and scared him.  The good player sprays down the whole other team and kills em' all before he has to reload.

p.s. use whatever gun you like.  But if you're only 1:1 or less and trying to prove that it's skill to use a certain gun, that's not prove'n a whole lot.  Now if you're just a bit under the top guys or equal with them and you're use'n the sniper, then you are prove'n something.

p.s.s I never was a big fan of deathmatch type games.  I like the 1 and done.  So in these counter-strike type setups, the sniper is more effective.  Also, if you're just sitting somewhere in a regular public server and picking people off, there's no talent to that.  If it's a clan match that's different, because the talent level is a lot higher.
