Maybe its just me but I feel the Steadying of the crosshairs upon holding your breath in MW2 is faster than COD4. Plus it seems that the semi-autos in COD4 aren't 100% accurate either. I "miss" plenty of Barret shots when I am settled on the guys head. So I would say MW2 is easier to snipe on.

MW2 is far easier for me personally when it comes to sniping. That may simply be a comfort thing though since I haven't logged all that much CoD4 time yet.

I agree with the fact that less lag = better hit registration = more kills = easier.

However, in my opinion, the use of SoH Pro as Voodoo said is extremely useful and makes reflex shots much easier.

I find CoD4 quite a lot easier to snipe in because of;

Less lag/better hit detection/dedi servers.

Your Claymores are more difficult to being beaten(I generally am a moving sniper, but there aren't many people sprinting at 100km/h numbing your Clay's.)

Weapons are harder to counter-snipe with.

It's much easier to see in the distance/no excess fog everywhere, UNDEPASSLOL, SUBBASELOL.

Maps are generally less multilevelled, there aren't that many angles to look out for when sniping.

Maps are also generally smaller but have longer stretches of wide open areas with lots of movement w/o many places hide.

M40!!!!!!!

First off I'm not a great sniper, so sniping is difficult for me in both games but I have noticed that I am more successful in cod4. That makes me wonder, maybe you guys can shed some light. Would the level of competition on xbox live be reduced on cod4? Are the hitboxes bigger? Guns Better? Maps better suited for sniping? Just a fluke?

MoleMania

I'm pretty sure that's just lag. :/

If you use an M40 with a regular scope, the R700 or the Barrett you are going to get exactly the same amount of hitmarkers as using the Int. or Barrett on MW2 so in that respect there is no difference. The things that overall make sniping a much easier affair in MW2 are that in CoD4 the hit-boxes are smaller and body-wrapped whereas in MW2 they are somewhat larger and more forgiving, then there is of course the fact that most people use SoH which is a huge advantage.
Overall I would say that the maps in CoD4 are better for sniping but on the other hand there are stages such as Derail and Wasteland which mean this isn't always the case... its about 50/50 really.

The only thing you can do in CoD4 to make sniping easier is eliminate hitmarkers by putting an Acog scope on your M40, so long as your shot doesn't go through anything to hit the target its always a OSK. No offense but I have a feeling you probably just had a few flukey good games on CoD4 and ran on the forum to put up this question without even weighing up the obvious differences between CoD4 and MW2. Think before you speak next time.

I'm with you on that. I found it to be much easier to snipe on COD4 than MW2. Plus I always played HC on COD4 so it was even easier!

A question for Vis:

How is this different than what I said in the hitmarker thread? I mentioned that when I lag I have more hitmarkers and you jumped my ass, but in this thread a couple people say something quite similar and you don't say anything.
(I am not trying to be a smart ass, or rehash anything. I am honestly curious).

These people have been mislead. Hit detection is the same either way. The difference is in the time at which the hitmarker pops up, leading to the illusion of lag displacing hitboxes since it becomes more time-consuming to validate your aim.

actually better spawning system.


in MW2 the spawns seem to be like throwing darts at a map.
