Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had one of the ‘purest’ sniping experiences out of all the games within the iconic franchise, and as a result snipers who still play that classic title today are referred to as ‘purists’. Unfortunately, quick scoping kind of skipped CoD 3 and in my opinion this was a result of the scopes looking like they had been drawn on by a thick marker pen, making long distance shots so hard to hit that you would have been better of throwing your rifle at them.Īfter the ‘odd’ sniping in CoD 3, the next instalment of the series brought sniping into a whole new level. For me, a player who could barely string two shots together, he was one of the coolest guys on the internet, hitting astonishing streaks with his Kar98k. I remember watching the legend himself zzirGrizz and viewing his amazing montages. Sniping (as in quick scoping) has no real start date, however, it began to gain significant recognition with its emergence into the community on Call of Duty 2.
