Author Topic: Marcem Rants: Instant Kills  (Read 10882 times)

One thing I liked (and disliked) about Call of Duty games before Black Ops, Stopping Power was needed to make an instakill with snipers, excluding headshots. Even then, they still had frequent hitmarkers.

Headshots incapacitate people, so even if you survive the headshot there will be a comatose period.

Furthermore, you're ignoring the point. The 30-damage value lets us make the sniper itself less difficult and aggravating to use. Suddenly the sniper is less of an annoying specialty and instead has more of a real, fleshed out role.

A role? I never understood your logic. Why would I choose sniper when I could pick another class that, regardless of range, could deal 30 or more damage at a faster rate? The rifle in your thing used to be spammable but from a distance, where the damage is reasonable, the spread ruined any chance at nice DPS. 30 isn't really burst damage either, nor can the rifle headshot, so I've always failed to see what role it fills.

Brink has 2 hit kill snipers, and using an assault rifle it is somewhere between halo and CoD in time to kill
Cod takes like four bullets to kill
Halo takes like thirty.

Are you ACTUALLY implying that Halo is a decent game?

I'd take Halo over any of the new CoD games.

Uh, no? Are you implying any of the cod games after 2 are any good?

Also take a print screen of my post because you must have a problem where you are reading something other than I typed.

4 was good, all the other new ones were bad.

You would play HALO WILLINGLY?

Holy mother of Christ.

Halo: Reach is pretty good. Far from the best, but pretty good.

Hang on, I'm going to the hardware store to buy a noose and a loving stool.

Please do, you're really annoying.

Excellent. I have lost faith in humanity.
