snipers!?!?!?

    I myself thought that snipers in paintball were about the stupidest idea ever, boy was I wrong. I am sorry for ever doubting anyone in a ghillie suit calling themselves a sniper.Please let me explain.
    I went to my first big game this weekend and there was this guy in a ghillie suit with a sniper rifle and I thought to myself man this guy is going to get it. I was wrong.  We were team mates and as soon as we stepped on the field he was gone and never to be seen again. Then end of the day came and I kept hearing about all the kills he made from the other team.
    Well the end of the game came and they gave out awards. The other general gave our sniper the m.v.p. award. What how can this be??? There is no such thing as a sniper in paintball right .....wrong.See the other team had the advantage. Their base was the tower in the middle of a field, where the trenches are (splat brothers). Our team was in the swamp in this little KFC bucket for a base. Well the other general congradulated the sniper and said he was coming in our front door,side towers, and back door.He single handily took there base so many times.
    Well the final battle we won the game took the tower and held it. Best paintball experience of my life!!! I can not wait to play another one in fall!!!! All I hope is that we have that guy on our team again!

Bigger scenario games due tend to recognize "sniper" as a role. Not surprising really, but seriously, the term sniper will never apply to paintball.

...Hes a sniper because he had camo and a marker that looked like a sniper rifle?

Did he use cover and concealment well? Apparently yes (since he disappeared). Was he sneaky? Well, since he kept getting inside the opponent's base, he might have been. (Or they might have had a really poor base defense plan, or troops that didn't do what they were supposed to do.) Did he make shots at ranges that other people couldn't? It wasn't mentioned in the original post if he did. Did he have range/accuracy capabilities beyond those of normal grunts? Again, not mentioned.

So in essence, he used really good tactics. Sounds like he probably used tactics better than most of the other team. I'd also bet there was a lot of patience involved in making sure he waited for just the right time to move/act. This all makes him a very good player, it doesn't make him a sniper.

go away troll

Not to me, there's a reason the forum has filters.I am over griping with a bunch of 15 year old kids. Get it over with later to all that were nice to me. All I like is the marker part anyways.

He is supporting it. He's using the famous "throw a tantrum and leave technique."

Well, isnt everyone a sniper usually, using that definition, when playing woodsball?

He is sneaky and spent too much money at Spec Ops. That does not mean he is a sniper

I figure I can battle and piss off some of you retards.
