Sniper issues

Hey everyone who reads this show your opinion please on what you think.

So there has already been an issue in Black ops about the snipers.So that's why I got this game so
I could snipe how I want to not how Treyarch restricted the ways you can play with a sniper
but right when i got this game I was using the sniper class and I never got a 1shot 1kill even with a head shot or to the chest which really started to bug me.And then I noticed after i unlocked create a class there was only two snipers and i can only use one of them until I think level 36 that makes me stuck with a assault rifle because I like to have a distance between me and my enemy.

I'm about 100% sure there's bullet drop in this game. If you account for that, the snipers should be much better

I heard the Gauss Rifle was a disappointment since it couldn't 1 hit kill, but 1 hit kill with any gun would be retarded considering that everything else would feel like it's taking a thousand bullets to kill. Quick scoping is also easy in this game, so if we made 1 hit kill easier... You're just going to see a massive increase of quick scopers running around and pwning the crap out of everyone and their grandmas, from short or long range. In fact, I already see a bunch of quick scopers running around in the PC version just spraying with that first sniper rifle.

I guess you haven't played Medal of Honor. That game is the perfect example of what happens if you put powerful sniper rifles in the game along with killstreaks. Camping, then cussing, then whining, then rage quitting ensues. If they're quick scoping, even more cussing, more whining, more rage quitting. And of course you lose a few sales here and there after people have read the reviews.

But besides the Gauss Rifle, the first sniper rifle which I forgot what the hell it's called... It kills someone unarmored in 1 hit, kills someone armored in 2 hits, has a retardedly fast rate of fire making it easily sprayable and practically takes no skill, and on top of all else it can be armed with a silencer making you practically radio silent unless there's maximum radar on the enemy's side. Sniper rifles are fine the way the are if not overpowered. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm one of the noobs that spray with the sniper rifle, hey it's in the game, and whenever I touch big scopes I'm too lazy to bother with aiming. =D

You must've been BSing with the headshot part though, headshots will 1 hit kill with or without armor mode, it will kill anyone and anything unless they're hacking. Or may be if they have maximum nanosuit, not sure if that protects their head... Chest shots aren't 1 hit kill, only headshots are capable of that, and the reason for that's explained above.

And hey look at this other guy posting about bullet drop, April Fools to you too.

the DSG – 1 is a 1 shot kill with a headshot and a 2 shot kill to the body with its fast rate of fire its a great gun.
If you are accurate like a sniper should be you will get alot of one shot kills. i cant confirm but im sure i have
even had a double kill. Lag is the biggest problem but its the same for everyone at the moment.
