@Coma: Well there's this thing called hiding. Its where the people hide.
And then they shoot you in the back of the head, or grab you in CQC and you're dead. Of course, I try and do the same thing to them.
@Bolivar: Didnt see your good answer. And yeah, I love sneaking up on a couple of snipers and gunning them to hell! They're too absorbed in their aiming games, so they're sitting ducks.

If you use M4 with grip and want to use narc lvl 3 and Monomania lvl 3, go for it! With the Assault skill, it doesn't make a big difference when it comes to accuracy, anyway.
I'm addicted to those skillsI need to level up CQC, sniper skill, or something else. Actually I'll start with CQC first.
I'll add all you guys' PSN id's/everything, but I did a little reading online and apparently MGO is region locked.
Like I've said, I really like MGO alot, and it's a blessing that Konami was actually able to make a good online experience of MGS, especially after what I feel was not that good at all in MGS3, but their handling of the online system was atrocious. I mean, you need 4 ID's to play in the championships: PSN ID, Konami ID, Game ID, and a gamebattles.com login. Damn.
@Steiner and Bolivar
When I played this, I don't think I ever had that happen. Of course, I obsessively use the camera to check my surroundings, and shoot into every cardboard box I see. Also, Bolivar Sniper Nests are hard to do. Only a fool snipes from teh ground. And an intelligent sniper puts sleep gas mines at the top of the ladder of their vantage point. I used sleep gas because it was far quiter than a claymore, and since a claymore isn't lethal like that, I'd still get points for the knock out.
Thats because not THAT many people use CQC or throat slits since it takes a while of levelling up those skills to be any good at it.Originally Posted by Coma
I usually always sneak and slit peoples throats though. Its damn fun and people get very annoyed
I hardly ever use the guns anymore...
^I hate people like you, spoiling my assault rifle fun. I just had some annoying girl do that to me today.
That must slow you down quite a lot. I'm sort of the opposite. Im constantly on the move and I take a lot of risks.When I played this, I don't think I ever had that happen.

And sniping from the ground can be effective, if you're good (not me).

It does'nt really matter whether you're sniping from the ground or from higher ground. There are enough places to get some easy picks throughout every map, although it sometimes depends on which side of the map you start.
Being a stealth game, I didn't anticipate sprinting through it anyway. The core idea behind MGO is brilliant but the execution of the skills, and the way they used MGS4's controls killed it for me.
Smart Snipers use those tricks (I see alot of magazines get used for that, too), but there are ways around it. On Urban Ultimatum, there's multiple ways to get to the high rooftops, alot of the times they can get careless and miss the lesser obvious ones.
I dunno, maybe I'm just good. Though, no one ever expects to get snipped from under a truck. And any sniper worth his salt also has CQC maxed. Nothing beats dragging an enemy who jumped ont your roof, and dropping him off the edge. Even if I don't get points, its universally understood as "smurf you!"
I've just discovered a new tip today. Basically, when you're behind a box (the wood crate ones) and aim at an enemy through the box, the enemy's tag will display. Same applies to when an enemy is behind a box! The former method is useful against snipers who are aiming in sight. They cannot see you because you're behind a box! Just shoot away through the wood crate!
The latter method is useful against people who are hiding behind boxes.
I'm not sure if it's considered as an exploit, because your bullets can penetrate enemies through a box, even though the enemy tag will display when in fact that you cannot see the enemy (directly).
Is it just me or is it way too hard for Snake to win a sneaking mission? I've never played a round as him, but I've never witnessed anyone collecting enough dogtags to win.
^Ive played about 10 times as Snake, and won twice.
Another time, I was just about to pick up my third tag when some idiot shoots me in the head.
It can be very hard if the people are good and there are loads of them. If its only 4 or 5 a side, then it can be quite easy.
Its also really hard to do on Gronzyi Griad (or w/e) and Bloodbath, but easier to do it on Urban Ultimatum and the other, grey one. (forgotten its name)

^ I've never won as Snake, but I've gotten close to the 3/3 alot.
So I bought the Gene expansion and played survival this past weekend, and I gotta say it was pretty fun. Always having a 6 on 6 match for tons of reward points, knowing who's doing good and who's not, it was pretty great. Although I wish they would open up a second night, because Im not really trying to play Metal Gear every saturday night.
I have the expansion as well. Survival sometimes isn't fun. Before I was level 5, and I've tried to join random teams, usually, they have kicked me because my level was too low. That was stupid and annoying and I have kind of lost respect in joining random teams. However, I can understand the leader's decision for kicking low level people because with low level people, they are likely to lose against teams with higher level people, but still...
The only way not to get kicked is to level above 5+ and join a clan... and then do Survival with your clan, now that's fun.
I've just lost two levels (was 8, now 6) because I was enjoying leveling skills. Now I'm done with leveling them, and I've got a level back. Whee~
