I wish for a headshot-only server

In comparrison to the people who enjoy both styles of sniping, those who do complain are in the minority and tend to be in the higher skill bracket and, as J.D. put it, are more used to a certain style. There used to be so many HS-only servers, and now most have disappeared and Snipezilla took up the reputation as the sniper's hub (at least for America and several parts of Europe).
Either way, they have Sanctuary now, so they don't have to stand around and soap on the server as they used to do^^

Also, I still don't understand the Classic. Haven't gotten a chance to try it =p

When you zoom in, you can see in third person mode. You can't get a headshot until fully charged.
 
As a recommendation, HS only is a cool but becomes too much pussy footing around. Winning at headshot only server is shooting second. Only perk of shooting first on HS only server is possibly killing your opponent first but I put that in the 25-35% range at least for me. If you shoot first you get no knockback on a hit, which leaves 100% vulnerable. Really good snipers don't really miss a non jumping headshot and if you miss and jump most really good snipers get that airborne headshot 70-80% of the time. I thought I wanted HS only too at 1 point but the second scoping became too strong for my taste.

If they had a HS only server with a knockback effect on a body shot with no damage...shiiiiiit I would jump on that plugin like a bitch in heat.

I understand you perfectly J.D. ; some snipers like i was, use jumps to do many tricks and cheats ;) , but majority of snipers with not enough precision goes for second shooting always , also , many snipers think we jumped to avoid shots, and thats a contradiction becuse it put us on a vulnerable postion. Thats why i asked many people ''why you jump"? Becuse they seem to just copy us by jumping, but not sniping as well :P

Well jumping for me allows me to find out who I need to be careful of....odds are if he can hit me jumping then he can hit me not jumping too, my approach to that player needs a little more patience, but patience is not a strong point for me as I like to sling bullets out as fast as I can which gets me in trouble with more patient players.

Stronger players get the airborne headshot.

That's the point, having the challenge, i once was a little more cautious at sniping, i was able to dom full teams, like everyone else who tryied that before, but when i met some great ones of the past (snipers) i learned that playing by challenges was damn more fun, jumping to the danger, until playing like a 1 man army, sometimes i got bored an just acted derpy, but it was so much fun to be unstoppable and so annoying to the points that the only was to be kill is by -melee, bodyshots, countershots-. You also know that fealing, i saw you playing many times as a spy. :p

P.D. : Mix up, don't act agresive, i love how people crys becuse they can't kill you xD
 
Mhmm, I'd say it's also a good challenge not to jump. Though seeing many others, that might only be me ^^ That or to play the weeping angel game with your opponent.

when i said ''jump to danger'' was not a ''press space'' , is an expose to danger.

Depends what map though. I spent more time on TF2_f than any other map, and the amount of times ppl use the middle housing section for invulnerable jumps is 'Too Damn High'. I'll say that trying to catch them whilst they fall down is a challenge on its own though. But if they complain about being bodyshot, then pfft.

well, you're right, just that when i see an svs map, i see it like and tr_walkway map, or something like an idle server, becuse there's so much people to kill, and i just don't know who to aim first :rolleyes:
Is not like if i can't play other styles, is just that i quited many to have more fun. For me the challenge is to hit them before the mid air. the Classic can do 360 headshots?

1. I love how I've looked back to this thread 4 times and you've had a different profile picture each time Magnus haha
2. I don't intend to condemn jumping. See me in an all-class game and I'll be jumping my bunny arse off. But at times, the jumping does become a bit over-the-top. It becomes more silly than anything. And I'm not saying anybody here does it (as far as I know anyway). I've met plenty who do though. More jumpy than a kangaroo on drugs.
3. Sniper's first world problem issue: Who to shoot first?
4. You should see J.D. trying a 360° headshot whilst falling from an orange tower ;)
 
I've been trying various forms of crouching after watching Comanglia for a bit. I noticed that he would crouch often after shots, before shots, and sometimes even when he's just running from point A to point B, he would throw in random ducks.

I hadn't noticed other snipers who utilized ducking as effectively as him.
