Accuracy, Precision... AIM! and... FIRE!

#1 Post by Perhaps »

Do you know of a difference between Accuracy and Precision?!

Do you realize there's a difference between a weapon's accuracy and the user's ability to aim?

Perhaps neither sniping nor spray weaponry require more skill, whereas sniping requires great precision since it can be relied on due to the weapon's superior accuracy and a spray weapon requires better dynamic aiming due to the weapon in accuracy needing multiple succeeding hits?

What's your take?!

Sniping takes more skill because you have to take the wind and coriolis effect into account.

Snipers are little bitches. One-shot any class with no risk to yourself? When an aimbot would play it the same as you, but better, you know you're playing a lame class.

Well I can't since I don't know what that means. Does it mean snipers don't get enough credit or does it mean snipers don't do enough to deserve credit?

Quiet, faggot, the men are talking.

He at least had to move forward, sniperbots just have to sit still and rack up the headshots. But that's beside the point, which is this:

If you set up an aimbotted sniper and walk away, the untrained eye will just think "Damn, that guy's really good."

If you did the same thing with any other class... Well, you'd die a lot quicker for one thing, and your teammates will think you're worthless for just standing still, while enemies stupid enough to come near you will call wtfh4x at a much higher rate than if you were sniper.

...stupid and they talk too much,
And I'd feel a lot better staying out of touch.

And you know I don't want what you want,
I want what I want.
