Re: I've been waiting for someone else to say this
Posted By: Avateur <avateur@gmail.com>Date: 1/13/13 8:20 p.m.

In Response To: I've been waiting for someone else to say this (Revenant1988)


: Dear Dr.Snipe,

: The way I see it, you got your peanut butter all over my chocolate. Your
: Sniper is someone else's Boltshot.

Sniper rifle takes skill to use as effectively as Snipe does. I personally give him a hard time to joke around, but he's damn good with it. Other people I play with couldn't hit me with 10 shots from a sniper rifle with me doing nothing but strafing. I don't even have to fire back. Boltshot? Well, maybe somewhere it takes skill to point and shoot it and hit a moving target, but I think Bry hit the nail on the head. There may be a TrueSkill gap here, and the people we get matched up with clearly don't seem to have a problem getting the cheap and easy overpowered kill with that gun.

: I really have a hard time sympathizing with you due to your personal play
: style anyway, which boils down to you sitting in relative safety across a
: map with a sniper the majority of the time. As far as I'm concerned, if
: someone manages to get you with a boltshot while your doing your
: thing, they earned it!

Whoa. Have you actually played with Snipe? And I mean multiple times? Oh yes, he can be a pain and camp back at times, but the worst times are when he gets his sniper rifle and moves up on you. Or takes over your base with it. Or on smaller maps where he has no problem running around and no-scoping you. Again, all skill-based things. But sure, we can pretend he camps back and snipes all the time. Spoiler alert: you're not safe from him even if he doesn't unless you're just as good or better than he is. But again, this all comes down to skill. Spoiler alert more: they get him with a Boltshot because he's not camping back sniping, but because the majority of the time, sniper or no sniper rifle, he's actively engaged and moving around the map.

: How is you sitting across the map picking people off all day any different
: than someone else sitting in one spot waiting for someone to walk around a
: corner? Aside from measurable range and personal play style- nothing.
: Nada. It's all in your head. Tomato Tomahto.

I just covered this for Snipe, so don't worry about it.

: DISCLAIMER: Revenant agrees that the boltshot and scattershot kinda cancel
: each other out. Revenant also does not care for boltshot campers and
: refuses to use the weapon out of personal taste. When Revenant IS killed
: by a $#*$U# boltshot camper its *usually* his fault anyway. Revenant also
: enjoys using the vastly superior AR against boltshot campers and then
: teabagging them. This has been a public service announcement.

Your AR has beat Boltshots? Wtf. Okay, maybe Wu's right. I clearly have to be doing something wrong if I'm having this hard of a time against the Boltshot, whether it kills me twice a game or over 9000 times a game. Also doesn't help when those 2 vs. over 9000 happen when my number of people using Boltshot killed = 0, or 1 if I'm super lucky I suppose.
