Sniper kit layout

[jackal22]

m 40
usp < equal to most guns in close quarters

clays < protect you
stopping power < 1 shot kill, not more people jacking you kills and getting assists
iron lungs ,

while i would agree that deep impact is useful, in a sniper on sniper battle iron lungs is better because you fine your self having to wait just that little longer for him to pop out.

having uav jammer on sniper is a waste of perk because no matter what they will spot you if you fire your weapon. Because ther is no silencer on it so in my opinion its pretty crap. my kit is olway s

barrett 50cal
claymore because it s olway s nice to know it has your back covered
stopping power for that extra damage
deep impact so noone can get cover :)

My first kit:

M40
Claymores
UAV Jammer
Dead Silence

I have used this kit for ages. And it's good for sitting middle of enemy spawn.

Second kit:

M40/R700/.50 Cal
Bandolier
Stopping Power
Deep Impact

This kit i use for "fast shooting". It's basically for 32+ players servers...

I have steady aim on my sniper rifles cause it makes it much more accurate when shooting unscoped. Great when you don't have time to pull out your pistol :)

M107
Gold Deagle

Claymores
Overkill w/ SUppressed G36C
Iron Lungs

[Yukiism]

Dragunov (Why do people keep hatin' this weapon? I have Red Tiger for this weapon so it obviously works.)
Claymore x2
Overkill with silenced P-90 or Deep Impact (for sweet "wall hack"-like shots)
Iron Lungs or Extreme Conditioning

Good luck with 2 tier 3 perks in one kit


I have two kits i mainly use:

Kit; Dragunov:
Gold Dragunov
Skorpion w/ Red Dot
Claymore x2
Overkill
Deep Impact


Kit; MacMillan:
M21 Red Tiger
MP5 Silenced
Claymore x2
Overkill
Deep Impact


I made those perks a standard on those two kits. I still sometimes use a M40A3 but my M21 just seems better. Steady Aim isn't useful on a sniper because i've seen the crosshair in softcore with a Steady Aim'ed sniper. I prefer my Overkill weapon anytime over Steady Aim.

Oops! That's what I get for not playing COD4 in 2 months.

[Cantina_Fly]

M107 is known as the .50cal or Barret around here.

In regular softcore:

Sniper Rifle of choice (currently R700)
Silenced SMG of choice (currently AK-74)
Bandoleer
OverKill
Extreme Conditioning

This leaves me flexible and still able to deliver hurt an long and short range.

HC is another story.

Sniper Rifle of Choice
Silenced USP
Claymores
UAV Jammer
Dead Silence

I never play on servers larger then 20 people (usually 10-20) so stealth is a big deal. I'd rather have the SMG as a backup in normal and and the added stealth in HC.

This is from a decidedly non-sniper player. I usually only snipe when I want to chill out solo and unwind. Most of the time, I'm an AK wielding pscho on TS with my friends.

[Kodakk]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me.

[OldGregg]

R700
S-USP
Bandolier
UAV Jammer
Dead Silence

M107
S-MP5
Claymore
Overkill
Dead Silence

[CptainCrunch]

So would you all say that your kits change a bit when you are playing softcore vs hardcore?

It seems for most, people with HC goes with perks that add power and stealth. For SC, people lean toward backup plans like overkill and extra ammo or claymores.

[Kodakk]

Well, the only thing I change between SC and HC is perk 2.

HC it will vary from Sleight of Hand and UAV Jammer.
SC it is always stopping power to keep the 1 hit kill.
