I really think activision is dropping the ball here. You have to go all the way back to call of duty 4 I believe, to get a decent sniper map with tall grass and foilage. I think the map may have been called overgrown and it was great. Since then we've been sucked into a mold of what is a COD game. Activision it seems is not willing to bend their own rules or think outside the box. And it's really getting tired. I was really hoping that with this game you'd be able to climb on objects a little or there would be a map with grass that you could hide in.

While the game is darn good it's truly more of the same. If anyone has found a good sniper map please let me know, I may have missed it but after about 8 hours of online play I have yet to see one.

You actually have to go all the way back to the Battlefield games to be a sniper where you don't have to press down on the joystick to keep the scope from jiggling as it's always steady and a .50 cal. actually kills people with one shot even to the body.

I'm glad that there aren't any sniper maps, because I like to run around. However, IW should have included at least one map that's catered to snipers (for those who like to play that way)...even if I won't vote for it.

I think you should think outside the box. If other people can snipe in this game, why can't you?

using a sniper rifle how it is intended is considered "camping" now which is just stupid, so if your not running around quick scoping your a "noob" but it should be the other way around because they made quick scoping so easy in MW2 and MW3 that anyone can do it, it actually takes more skill to use a sniper how it's intended and less skill to quick scope.

^ Wth does that have to do with this topic? And try a little spoiler warning next time for people who haven't gotten the game yet. As for the topic, I haven't really noticed any "sniper maps" yet but there are a couple of maps that are fairly large and it seems like they would be pretty good for snipers. The majority of the maps don't have that though. It's kind of a shame since I occasionally like to go the sniper route but in this game it feels like they want you to run around and quick scope which I think is utterly ridiculous. There's also very little cover when you do find a big enough map. There's usually like 3 or 4 entrances to every building and it's pretty easy to get shanked from behind if you're not paying attention. It makes it pretty much an AR/SMG/shotgun game since there's really no point to risk carrying around a sniper when you won't get a chance to use it the way it's supposed to be used.

I'm glad sniper levels are limited now (I haven't played all the maps yet). I hate camping snipers.

Seriously? In MW2 Derailed was a pretty good and fun sniper map. It had lots of open areas to snipe from and had a middle area for people who wanted to go close combat. There's no reason a sniper map has to be boring. If you get another Wasteland, then yeah, that would be boring, but they can easily give you a fun sniper map.

There are lots of bad things about being a sniper, if you get a good spot, they call you a camper, if you run around and shoot people with a 50cal, they accuse you of quick scoping and call you a n00b. But, idk where all the sniper spots are.

Derailed is a combination map, not a sniper map, like Bloc and Wasteland. They were LAME. Although Bloc was definitely the better of the two.

I'm talking about the people that NEVER move in a map. I don't mind the snipers that move around the map to get different vantage points.

No one likes getting clipped from someone camping half way across the map, time to evolve.

I agree, Id be fine if snipers were taken out of the game. There are a few maps that work with snipers and there are some with foliage too. I havent learned all the names yet, but village and mission have foiage for anoying kids to camp and all that.
