Black Op Snipers to be Tuned Up?

Re: Black Op Snipers to be Tuned Up?

Then don't use silencers. I mean, that is the whole point of the trade-off you do when selecting a silencer. Otherwise everybody would play as an undetectable camper. You have to make a choice between stealth and power.

I know what you're saying but even a silenced sniper should have the ability to be a one hit kill in the head. Especially the L96, equipping a silencer on that sniper rifle is currently pointless because you need to switch to your pistol or wait for a second shot no matter how good your aim is. It's almost a broken feature currently.

The maps are too small and the game too fast paced to consistently hit headshots. As Anarchy1 said, by the time you have pulled up your sniper scope, the Ak74 user has had time to pump 5 shots into you.

So a silenced shot should be a kill to the head, but not to the body?
Make that a perk that prevents you from using ghost, and we have a deal

Btw, doesn't hardcore solve most of your sniping problems? No killcam, power enough to kill with a supersoaker and rarely a radar.

Actually, HC makes it even worse since pistols can pick you off from across the map in one or two shots.

Sure, but I'd argue playing HC adds more problems than it solves in general.

One way to make everyone happy, is to alter the feature of Scout perk from "hold breath longer" to "reduce idle amount by 50%". With that perk on, all sniper rifles' adsidleamount will decrease from 40 to 20. Essentially making the snipers idle the same amount as those in CoD2.

The only exception is L96, which would have its idle amount reduced from 60 to 30. That's roughly the same as the idle amount of G36c in CoD4, which is quite bearable.
