Sniping, not so easy.

[stewie-Y]

In other games with a a sniper will hit exactly what's in the crosshair intersection, but in this game I don't think it does.
I'll be using the Dragonov and there wil be a guy running and my crosshairs are directly on him, but nothing.
Also, I was sprinting and taken down by a sniper, but the killcam showed that his crosshairs weren't on me when he fired.

Anyone know how to use it, or do I just suck?

I find the hit detection to be spot on, but im coming from bf2.

I dont have much sniper experience, so i dont know.

As for the killcam, the bullets deviate, so he may have "accidently" killed you. I know i just spam bullets when i see an enemy.

But what do i know, i got the game on christmas

you have to lead people when they are running

[The_Eliminator]

If he is running you have to lead your target, aim about a foot depending on your distance in front of him, i was impressed when i actually led a target who was running to get a headshot.

Ohh, so it's actually like real life? Because games like Socom you just have to put the crosshairs directly on them.

No it's far from real live :) After all it's only a video game.

it does have some real life effects in game. As the people above say aim ahead of your target, practice makes perfect .

Hold your breath when your lining up your target (hold the sprint key, default Shift). Iron lungs allow you to hold your breath for three times longer .

Yeah, I hated it at first... but once you get the hang of it, you'll be at the top of the leader boards :)

Sniping is pretty easy... especially since they patched it, you also do have to lead targets a bit.

Are you on the new patch?

NO, since I did a gamestop.com download I can't play in PB enabled rooms or download any patches.

ya man, you will get better. I started using the R700, and I can nail people on the run consistently. So you just have to practice. And ya, there is a bullet time.

I downloaded it, but it's a bunch of files that I have no idea where to put. Anyone know?

It should be a zip file. Extract it to your Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare directory, and if you're using WinZip, be sure "Use Folder Names" is checked. It will put a couple files into that COD4 directory, a couple into Main, and some into /Zone/English.

As long as you point the extraction to the COD4 directory, it should do that all automatically.
