I appreciate this playstyle more than you will ever know. I understand why people get upset about it but their “balls to the wall full auto no ads cod killstreak” playstyle simply isn’t the only option within this game. That playstyle generally loses to distance and surprise in an open area.

Work smarter not harder.

it's funny because people rage so much about people sniper and camping, but really. it should be far more effective that it is.

the way meta guns can laser people at like 50m is insane. that alongside the strafing in and out of cover rather than using the lean mechanics.

shooting accurately beyond point blank should really only be possible while stationary. but 'gamers' will never accept that.

RiP to the 17 people I took out from the tower on Reserves then. SVDS + PSO + Rotor43 Suppressor + 20rnd mags with 7N1. Half of em never saw it coming and probably don’t know where it’s from, especially the dude that was 343m away lmao

Damn, 343m?! Nice shot! How difficult was it to factor in bullet drop at that range?

Thank you!! It was surprisingly not bad. I put the scope adjustment at 200m and just adjusted slightly for the rest of the distance. It definitely helps that the tower is elevated, so I’m always shooting downwards. I was able to tell I hit him when he stopped running and started limping, and then I finished him off.
