sniper mask

ya basically... i hated english class

Tough, use it

i agree other players do use stealth and practice but nothing compared to a sniper,

The average woodsballer wears camo, his gun is also camoed.  Do snipers have "Acme Invisible Pants" or something that makes them so "sneaky sneaky"?

well kinda incase u havnt heard about em its called a ghillie suit look it up

BWHAHAHAHAHA!

I have yet to see a paintballer use one correctly.  Players seem to think throwing on a ghillie makes you invisible.  I've seen players running in them thinking they are hidden, I have seen players with ghillies so mismtached they used a dark green ghillie in tall dead grass.  Ghillies are designed for use at a DISTENCE.  Only from a distance can you acctually move in one.  I dont care how awsome your "1337 snipp-er dud 5k1lz" are, you dont have the disipline to use one correctly.

o and sorry i guess ill try to b like u and spend my time learning how to type in a correct manner instead of practicing paintballing

You might find that to be a wise move.  Few companies will pick an "uBeR 1337 k3w1 5nipp-3r dUd3!11" over someone who can type in, and speak, English.

well u may think my love, knowledge, and exspirience in sniping is unvaluble but the american armed forces have a differant outlook they like the fact that i have the ability to sneek past several guys in the woods to take out 1 important target and still remain hidden and they also like the fact that iv been around rifles since iv been able to walk and have lots of exsperiance with them

I hardly think crawling around in a mismatched ghillie trying to shoot people usuing a scope will be considered seriosuly by an army recruiter. BTW, they also have intelligence tests.

Further more, there is one (possibly two) former military sniper on this forum, his name is Oldsoldier, why dont you drop him a line abotu sniping in paintball.  See what he tells you.

good try tho...

i'm getting confused and kinda frustrated. 

We all are, but it seems for different reasons

Noone was not saying snipers where better than any other play.
That's just his play style.  "Snipers" tend to be more patiant than your normal experienced player. 

In other words snipers are campers?  I think we are all in agreement that campers are newbs who hide in brush and shoot people that come nearby.  Face it, patience isnt a skill needed in Paintball.  Patience in paintball means fear to move.  Players get locked in a comfortable spot where they feel safe, they become campers and call this patience.

Most people (like me) love the idea of being in a huge firefight and putting our reflexes on display.  Others (like Sneaky) prefer not to use their gunfighting skills, but rather their accuracy and intelligence. 

We've already covered the accruacy issue, it doesnt exist in paintball.  Hell, a paper clip on a rubber band is probably more accurate.  Intelligence?  I could make many rude comments on that but I'll stick to facts.  Do you mean to say that only "snipers" use "intelligence" and the rest of us listen to our testicles?  I think every move you make on the field takes a certain amount of intelligence and certinetly teams think before they move or act.

That, my friend, is the difference between a sniper and a regular player. 

In other words ones a camper and one acctually plays?

People may look down on snipers, but honestly, does it matter how you play as long as you just go out and do it? 

No, but the point is when they waste their time trying to be a "sniper" and further more convince other players to do the same, it takes the fun out of the sport.  They arent playing, they are sitting on the side pretending to play.

Paintballers need to stick together and not flame people, but give HELPFUL advise to the newbs. 

Hence what I am doing  . . .

Our sport will die if it keeps going the route it's going.  I don't know about anyone else in this thread, but i'd kinda like it if everyone just let it go and let this thread die.

End the sniper threads and I'll let em die
