In this video: guy gets killed when he stops camping...

Gazondaily3040d ago

How was he camping? He was running around for a lot of that video? He stayed stationary for at the end but tbh the video isn't that spectacular. He got most of his shots with the rifle at the end with a fair few misses. I was expecting more beastage.

Christopher3040d ago

Perhaps I interpret camping differently, but my understanding is that camping is sitting in one spot and just shooting from there, which this guy does for the majority of the video by just staying in that one area and hiding there and killing anyone who came nearby whereas everyone else was actually moving from point A to point B.

ion6663040d ago

Hes like but I can do it in call of duty. No...He was an agressive sniper.He did well.although I would have preffered he took the shots at longer distance. With a big enough t.v. you can snipe with iron sights.

wakeNbake3040d ago

People seem to confuse defensive play with camping.I f you run around like a headless chicken youre gonna get killed quick.Laying down in a corner with a shotgun now thats camping.

christrules00413040d ago

I would call that offensive sniping. A majority of the time he was trying to capture a domination zone from the enemy.

spicelicka3040d ago

how else is he gonna snipe??

Erik73573040d ago

And? How else would you snip?

Do you want me to run back and forth while im looking through my scoop?

Utalkin2me3040d ago

Wow a sniper worthy of being on a team/squad. Gets objectives and defends objectives.

@Christopher

If you think that is camping then you're solely mistaken for what camping is.

Blachek3040d ago

He was playing the objective, spotting enemies, and keeping active. This is about as far from camping as you can get.

SlightlyRetarted3040d ago

Jesus Christ... The player is capturing/defending the flag for majority of the video, while killing a lot of enemies. So playing the objective (can you even camp in Conquest mode?) Not playing like a lot of fools in Battlefield where they capture the A flag, run to the B flag, lose the A flag, run back to A flag, lose the B flag. This cycle goes on for whole round. Instead capture majority of flags and try to hold them.

bananaboats3039d ago

it's a legitimate strategy. especially is you're sniping. you're not gonna want to run around gun blazing with a sniper rifle.

Lol, that awkward moment when every shot this guy makes is a shot you would celebrate over if you got it.

Kingoftherodeo3040d ago

idk if i wouldn't be able to make those shots since i don't play bf4 anymore. but all those shots were at a mid range distance i was hoping to see long shots with iron sights. kinda reminds me those people on cod who take the scope from the sniper and spam it as fast as they can because of the damage output. i deff expected rediculous long shots since it made it here on hotlist

KurtRussell3040d ago

Not impressed. Do it all the time with bolt action rifles in Red Orchestra2 and there 1 bullet would drop me. And this is not sniping.

Sadist33040d ago

Um, what loser plays normal mode in multiplayer? I don't take any player seriously unless they play hardcore. Anyone can kill easily when there is an map and enemies pop up on it. Go to hardcore and try to do that, his ass would have been laid out

WellyUK3040d ago (Edited 3040d ago )

Hardcore is the joke mode. It caters to spray lords and 1 hit kill weapons and explosive whores... Sorry but Hardcore is where all the bad players end up.

Not saying that this is good because it isn't just like most other BF videos like this where the enemy team always seems to be a group of idiots.

ion6663040d ago

so you mean to tell me that running around like a bullet sponge is the proper way of being good at a game. Instead of me searching and destroying my opponent without getting hit. ....And I'm the bad player. Noobs they're everywhere.

awi59513040d ago

@ion666

They need to normalize sniper damage in hardcore though because if they shoot you in the foot you die.

Erik73573040d ago

What loser plays bf on console...

Qrphe3040d ago

>Anyone can kill easily

Looking forward to your noscope killstrek sniping video then.

KurtRussell3040d ago

Are you actually saying it would be easier to do what he did with a scope on that rifle? Because it would definitely not be.

ion6663040d ago

@Sadist3 Agreed I only play hardcore because a 2 shot headshot is bullshit. I get that this is a videogame but when you put realistic elements in the game to simulate a war 9 times out of 10 a headshot would drop you like a sack of potatoes.The 1 person who survives that has just received a miracle.

WellyUK3040d ago

Hardcore makes the game easier and just removes the HUD... When ever i see some one say that hardcore is the best mode I look at their stats on battlelog and funnily enough they are terrible at the game. You play Hardcore because it makes the game easier.

Normal is harder because snipers actually have to be good and get headshots... Other classes have to keep the aim on targets to kill them unlike hardcore where they shoot 1 or 2 bullets and the enemy is dead. Hardcore only makes the Vehicles more OP than they are in normal which is reason enough not to play hardcore.

Utalkin2me3040d ago

Hardcore is for camping noobs that cant hang in normal mode.

SlightlyRetarted3040d ago

Hardcore is the easy mode. Fast kill times always lowers the skill level. Lucky spraying, accurate aiming is not needed when everything kills you with 1 or 2 bullets, explosives become ridiculously good etc.
Don't let the "hardcore mode" name fool you.

bananaboats3039d ago

hardcore is nothing special, you could sneeze on someone and they die. takes no skill to do hardcore and it caters to the corner campers.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot760d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250759d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface759d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop759d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno759d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel760d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps759d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888759d ago (Edited 759d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33759d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888759d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH759d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect
