Sniper badge IS NOT fair!

I was going to make rage thread about this...but thank you for saving me time.

I agree. Not everyone snipes because its boring. Thats my opinion. Its obviously harder than the rest of the badges, and the amount of kills required is too high.

Another solution: farming

but not everyone has more than 1 computers so it not manitory!!!

Tbh...I want to farm the sniper badge
I cant get any elite badges until I finish those.

If you have an awm, it's a breeze getting the badge. I mean.. one hit kill. c'mon.

Depends if you like sniping though...
Then you're kinda screwed if you want that elite badge thingy.
I only do badges to make gp since i can't afford nade sets lol

I had difficulties with that too, but now I can do 300 snipers kills in a day.
TDM, Prison or Ship.
I think if the sniper badge was so hard, I wouldn't have discovered my real skill at sniping: quick scoping. I'm getting kills from sniper in 0.05-0.50secs

What do you mean by "backups?" Sniper has pistol kills.... and you do realize that you need to complete both of them to get the badge right?

He means other methods of gaining the badge, like how Soldier is Rifle and MG, Scout is Pistol, Shot Gun, and SMG, etc. And I agree; unless you're a good sniper, and/or you like sniping, then they're just too time-consuming. Hell, I've got Scout Grade B Level 1 or 2, and Assasin Grade B Level 2 without even trying because they're so easy. As for the Sniper badges... I just recently got Grade C Level 3.

I also agree that they require too many kills. If you need to get kills with one certain type of weapon, then the number of kills required should be reduced.

then again, theyre supposed 2 take some time/effort, thats why you get rewards for them.

There giving you rewards, dont complain.

But I want those rewards to come as easily as the other badges' rewards come.

Probably the most time consuming Badge there is.

Go to Pub Monacco
get an awm
Sniper badge.

He's bad at sniping, though. An AWM won't help much, like in my case. If I had an AWM, then I might get a little over a 1 KDR in a Prison TD.

If I had an AWM it would be fast...but I dont
Headshots are my only choice...

Yes , I agree .

Sniper need backup .. maybe a pistol?

It's the hardest one to complete and maybe reduce the kills?

Sniping in this game is ridiculously easy, considering all the kids who cant aim.

Scout and Assassin badge, THOSE are hard.

Scout because you get kicked if you M12s, Kriss is expensive, and all the other guns are boring and weak.

Assassin because unless you have a shovel/axe, you're pretty much screwed in pubs, unless you're really good with knife.

...But sniping is easy...

You obviously have no idea how to play with the msg then. Its so awesome in sniper matches its not even funny. You can go against awm users and just spam the msg like an uzi and get like 5 shots on the guy in the same time he gets one on you, its ridiculous. Also, m700 is a lot better then awm in sniper only. More mobility, better movement and decent damage. If you cant aim for the head just keep moving and getting body shots, most people in sniper matches cant even aim at you. Oh wait, thats you.

I disagree.
In sniper only matches, AWM will always win out.
Why?
- MSG90 is not a one-shot kill.
- MSG90 has slower pull time; and if you aren't quickswitching, you aren't moving back to cover between peeks, which means you will die against a good sniper.
- MSG90, if you don't quickswitch, you cannot control when you scope in and out after shooting. If you stay scoped in, it is much harder to re-target.
- M700 has better mobility but at the cost of damage; having to go for headshots means more time accrued to aiming, which translates to a death against an AWM/DSR. Peeking for body shots takes almost the same time with m700 vs AWM; since you're moving out then going back under cover a short distance away, the movement speed of m700 hardly matters, especially if you're taking out your knife while retreating.
- M700 has better mobility but at the cost of stability; if sniping cross-map for headshots, your sheer speed of movement plus the less-than-100% accuracy (around the targeting reticule, the crosshairs do not align all the way to the reticule) will make it harder to win.
- MSG90 is much harder to quickscope with than AWM; disregarding the fact that at almost any range MSG90 requires two body quickscope hits to win, MSG90 will still lose due to the time it takes to scope in. However, if you are lucky, MSG90 has an advantage in CQB due to its high firing rate no-scoped. M700 does not share this advantage.

I can't think of more reasons atm, but there are more. AWM wins out; people use MSG90/PSG1/M700/drag in TD, in my opinion, to either show they can win with inferior weapons, and thus showcase their sniping skills, or because they cannot/are not willing to afford the AWM at 56k gp.

Also, I presume that people claiming to do better with MSG90/PSG1/M700/Drag in TD when they start trying to use it as opposed to AWM is because we, as humans, gain immediate satisfaction from trying similar yet new things. Try sleeping in your guest room's bed tonight if you don't believe me.

yeah its really easy acctualy just play prison at least 10-15 games 12minutes round 0 secoonds respond and you will get your badge soon.i am going for my 6th one 10k kills.
