UPDATED DAILY: I'm Issuing a Warning to Any Snipers

[deathcon5 3]

I don't have a problem with snipers or counter snipers. All part of the game. But, what I do hate is people who snipe, then server hop before anyone has a chance to retaliate. Pussies, cowards, and cheaters. Your kill count you are so proud of is a lie. Just like a hacker's. You have no skill, you suck at life. Die alone in your mom's basement.

[DemonGroover 8836]

OP loathes sniping and therefore kills snipers by sniping. Hypocracy?

I think it is commonly called getting some of your own medicine. Its time to make the snipers sweat a bit. Dont tell me snipers are getting a little scared of some competition?

[Baelethal 102]

I've been learning the ropes of a sneaky sneak from a teammate lately. I don't snipe, it's not my style, however, my teammate and I have been quietly watching the watchers. If someone is obviously sniping just for shits and giggles, we sneak up behind them and deliver a sort of justice. It's amusing how close you can get to some of them, and they're so oblivious. Sometimes, I'll open voice chat and go prone next to them, say hello. The disconnects are mildly amusing. I wonder how many wookies have soiled their bush. I won't pull the trigger until I'm sure they're just there camping for kills. If they're countersniping, I let them be and move on.

1. @ #BASEDGOD what is your ingame name it isnt Lil Wayne' The based God or something is it?
   

As for counter sniping I do it all the time its the easiest way to get geared. If you want more challenge help save people from zombies as well it helps to pass the time. Also I dont wait for them to come back I have a buddy go and loot there gear then hide there body makes it easier.

Its funny how many snipers use the exact same spots makes for easy kills.

A bit harsh, don't you think?

[sunnz 24]

Before this character life, i did the same thing, camped out at the hills and got any snipers, got some good shit too, sadly 7/10 snipers i run into are inside the tree, by that i mean i cant shoot them because of that bug were the tree basically protects you which is very annoying.

None the less its very fun and entertaining and i recommend it to anyone who hates these pests :)

Also , getting in close and personal by sneaking up to them is much more entertaining and satisfying, seems like most camping snipers are just deaf and bind to their surroundings haha.

Are some people seriously

so basically you are just another sniper in cherno? whats the point?!

sounds like all snipers are just hunting noobs. hell no - ALL snipers are counter sniping and "noob hunting" all the time.

you are not better then those guys you are one of them.

and... thats good. i also have alot of fun sniping in and around the citys. but why create a funny thread about how you are hating all the others?!

Are people REALLY this thick? The whole point of most snipers (that I hate) in Cherno is to sit on a rooftop (which I have nothing against) and to camp (which I also have nothing against) and sit there with a sniper (which, again, I have nothing against) and to kill people on the ground who only want to go about their business, battle some zombies, find some loot and survive (I'm not alright with this one dumbass).

Do you see the difference? Can you comprehend why what they are doing is really shitty, and what I am doing is countering something really shitty? Can you understand something as basic as that?

Seriously, that's a couple of people that have called me a hypocrite. What, are you so seriously retarded that you can't see I'm not sniping people on the ground that are only playing the game and that COULD be friendly? What I'm doing is making it safer for the people who only want to play the game without having an UNFAIR fight.

Please shut the fuck up anyone else with this ridiculous bullshit logic.

Yes, just venting. I hate cheaters. Online games would be 10x more fun if hackers and cheaters went away. They ruin immersion because they don't understand it..

[ZombieSpecialist 144]

Okay, let's say a guy is in a house with his family holding them hostage. He shoots his wife in the head, and then threatens to kill his son. Before he can kill his son the fine gentlemen of the on-call police force break down the door and shoot him in the head.

Now, would you ever in your right mind say "what the fuck? Why did that police officer just do exactly what the murdering guy did. Isn't that a bit hypocritical?" No, you'd say "well done. You saved the boys life."

My point is: just because I'm using the same tactics as the arseholes who sit and snipe people on the ground doesn't mean my motives are the same. You can have the same actions with different outcomes and for different reasons. My reasons are good, there's are bad.

I hearby dub thee "BatSniper", Cherno's Protector, The Ghillied Crusader, The Dark Sniper.

You are the hero Cherno deserves.

17 and counting. Come at me bro.

For too long, my worry is not zombies within major cities, but snipers who's only joy in the game is killing people. Often they won't go for their loot which demonstrates how they only want to kill humans for the fun of it - despite what many of them lose in gear.

So I'm issuing a warning... wherever I am, in any server the snipers in Cherno will be brought to justice. I will wait, and wait, and wait, and wait in darkness (or a gillie suit) and pursue you. I can't do it alone, but I hope to kill enough so they stop - at least on that server. If there are none, I will move server, and find you.

If I kill you from long distance: again, I will wait. I will wait until you foolishly try to regain your gear and BANG you're dead again. When I reach the top of the roof and skilfully crawl up behind you, make no mistake about it - I WILL say in direct communication "Stick this up your arse you little prick!" before I blow your brains out.

Snipers, I'm coming for you.

UPDATE:

I have good news for all of you.

So far I have DESTROYED 14 snipers in Cherno in the past day. Two have come back for their stuff, only to be killed again.

It's almost like I'm one with the grass. And do you know what? I was prone when someone ran past me... I thought "I'm running low on food here..." and instead of getting an EASY kill, I ran into the city to get food/drink. I felt bad for even thinking it... but then my sniping abilities improved after this.

Also, I've saved 3 people from definite death. One guy was only about 30 metres in from of me, zigzagging like hell getting sniped. It only took me 5 seconds to find the sniper on a building, scoped in and killed the fucker.

The guy who I saved stopped... and this might be wishful thinking but he looked at me for a split second laying down on the grass and it was almost like he thanked me.

I've server hopped 8 times in order to find them, and believe me I have.

Snipers, I'm still coming for you. And getting more fucking experience as each day goes by. My hunger for you grows.

UPDATE:

If you are in Cherno: stay there. This will be good. If you think you are safe in another city killing innocents, it will only be a matter of time until the number of snipers in Cherno on a three hour basis drops below 0.33, to the point where I move city. If you are in the area I move to, count yourself already dead.

UPDATE:

Hmmm, two things that are wrong with this post.

a) To assume that the only reason you kill people with a sniper is because you "know they would've shot me the minute they saw me" is a ridiculous presumption. Not only because a lot of people ARE friendly, but because it's not "kill or be killed" it's you just killing. It's not as if you see someone from afar and think "they will kill me so I should kill them". You will never meet.... you could avoid them. Ridiculous statement.

Number two, I love and hate how you said "would enjoy the challenge of a fair fight" - I don't think you would, because chances are you would die - you're only used to killing people who are innocently running along and who cannot fight back.

I was recently watching a tiger documentary, and ones accused of man-eating were kept in prisons. But a millionaire wanted to free them into the wild, and did. But some tigers got so accustomed to being fed dead meat, they would probably die in the wild because they would have lost most ability to hunt. This is the same situation, you're so used to killing people who a) very likely cannot fight back B) are an easy kill. So tell me, what do you do when you come up against someone who isn't easy to kill and are very capable of fighting back? You become the tiger who starved to death.

Wow, pretentious much?

[Diggydug (DayZ) 331]

You start with an "a" and then go to "number two"

You say "a" and then I assume you try to use a "b" but it's a smiley, I suggest you change these things.

I love how peoples morals are all like black and white in this game. If you've sniped someone in Cherno. you're a douchebag.

Some of the people looting in Cherno, aren't saints either. I've been killed by "friendly" and "innocent" people alot. Even when I had just spawned and all I carried was a bandage. As soon as they see me, they scream friendly. Only to shot me in the back once I let my guard down. It's not like everyone in the city have a noobtag on them. I have a strict avoid-or-shoot policy now. I also enjoy shooting people in cities with a sniper. Don't really feel bad anymore either, because I know they would've shot me the minute they saw me, if they had the chance.

I welcome the OP to find me, if I'm ever in his server and happen to be sniping. I would enjoy the challenge of having a fair fight.

A fair fight won't be happening. While OP might be cleaning the streets to a degree, he's not doing it fairly. As he said himself, he's server hopped 8 times to find people, what's to say half of them he hasn't jumped into a server and killed someone instantly? That's unfair.

[kwrn 0]

watch out for sniper teams. I've seen sniper teams with decoys running around behind them scouting for counter snipers.

[DesertRose 8]

I like to snipe the snipers.

Admittedly this means server hopping a little to find them... but it's worth it.

I will often cover over cherno watching the tops of the tall industrial buildings...

I most often come across them when i swap to a different server. Kill them, spend a while looking for more or just waiting for more to appear and if nothing happens for a long time I will move to a different server.

I rarely fire at anyone running around within the city and usually ignore anyone but snipers unless they become a threat to me. I feel like I am doing the game a service, even if my methods are not exactly morally correct in terms of game rules.... But I don't constantly hop, I will usually spend an hour or two a few select servers..... Sometimes it's just fun watching people killing each other :D

I agree that it's not a great thing to do, but neither is camping on a building to take out people who are just playing the game. I'm afraid I have to be a little scummy to beat the scum that create problems in the first place.

Thanks for pointing that out. I do not care about it enough to correct it, you understood perfectly what I was trying to say.

You're part of the problem with that logic, but I won't try to stop you. I'll just be glad when (if?) server hopping gets fixed...

[chaR 40]

Sniping in cherno/elektro is pmuch the lamest shit you can do. Shooting off unarmed people, you can just aswell load the training mission of ARMA2OA and you'll have more of a challenge.

Atleast man up n snipe at NWAF/Stary.

Atleast the OP is cleaning the little bitchkids up.

[ZombieSpecialist 144]

Yeah you say I'm part of the problem but I'm fixing another problem. My server hopping ONLY effects the little arseholes that snipe people trying to survive. How would I go about fixing the problem of snipers that kill people in cities without server hopping?

Yup. We have the right idea.

City snipers are douchebags,

As sniper snipers we double the douchebaggyness. It's for a good cause though.

Exactly. Sometimes doing a shitty thing for a good cause is the right thing to do. You can quote me on that :)
