    This might get a good bit of hate. Read the whole thing before you post. It might fix your hate.

    So, whenever a real sniper shoots, he always holds his breath, stays perfectly still, and shoots between heart beats. Now, we can't do anything about heart beats in minecraft, but we can make him hold his breath and stay perfectly still.

    The Sniper Animation: Whenever you scope down the sights in CoD, it takes a second to get the cross hairs right. This should be added into MC-WAR. Right now, it only takes about 1/4th of a second to aim. This is VERY unrealist and not like CoD. Even in real life, a trained sniper will take about 6 seconds, depending on the situation, just to get his aim right before he takes the shot. This can be changed to making each scope take the EXACT same time it does to get a full power shot on a bow. It would look better, slightly nerf the snipers, and remove "gun and run" technique from snipers.

    The Breath: In real life, a sniper will hold his breath before he shoots so he can get a good shot off. In MC-WAR, we can scope forever without worry. Easy fix: Have the bubbles when you are in water show up on the HUD. Retexture them to make them look like a red bar. After that bar runs out, it automatically zooms out of scoping.

    The Movement: If someone is sniping in real life, usually they would go prone. We can't do that in minecraft. But in MC-WAR, you can move freely and easily with only (I think) slowness 2-3. I think we should make it slowness 5-6. This might make it so we have a HUGE amount of scoping (huge zoom) but will nerf the people who run and scope at the same time.

    All of these will work for all the guns. Please leave a comment on what needs improvement and what is good. Thank you for your time.

    Most things in MCWar are a long shot off from being like CoD. I do like your idea, though.

    Nice idea, but I think this would take a very long time to get implanted.

    They would have to do a TON of coding with this.

    Exactly, if they decided to implement this it would probably be 2 months before we see it in game.

    CoD and all 1st person shooter games are aimed at being realistic. Why shouldn't MC-WAR have the same goal?

    Because it's minecraft, Mc-War isn't it's own game, as awesome and complete as it is.
    I personally dislike these changes, there's multiple differences between Mc-War and CoD that would make these bad ideas.

    First, one of the problems I've had with how CoD is how it handles sniper rifles, the main weapons types in CoD are Assault Rifles, SMGs, and LMGs, with shotguns and snipers being more "specialty" weapons. The reason snipers are used for quickscoping more often than not is maps are just not built for snipers, areas where you can actually snipe with snipers are rare. This is fine when snipers aren't really a main weapon class, but when 1/3 of all normal primary weapons can only be used for long range, it heavily decreases the variety weapons you can use and fight against.
    Then all high-leveled prestige players use the skullcrusher or moddel, instead of current great choices like the Msr, barret, and disassembler. I'm not saying nobody would use snipers anymore, but a lot less people for sure.

    And since weapon unlocks are linear, this means the average player will have even less options on what to use while leveling up, since snipers are impractical and previously used weapons aren't as good as the ones you just unlocked, reeeeaaaally interesting.
    With the inclusion of SMGs, this might change, but I still don't think it's a good idea to make one of the weapon categories less practical because some people think they're overpowered.
    One last point I'd like to bring up: you can't nerf good players, some are going to use snipers and quickscope anyway, and will just work around the increase in difficulty.

    (Oh yeah, and snipers already use a level of slowness above 5)

    Explain the M4A1 then... And the Dragunov.
    IDK why but it feels like slowness 2.

    The m4a1 and dragunov are exaggerated, they're good, and the m4a1's knockback can be a pain, but I get killed more by ak47s and the msr.
    Considering the ak kills faster and has less knockback to make your shots miss, it's a better weapon.
    And while the dragunov is better than the barret, so is every other sniper, both the isolator and disassembler are better. Think about it, what's easier to do, land two shots when you have 30 tries or three shots when you have eight (I think) tries. All snipers have the same headshot hitbox, so don't say "Oh but it oneshots more often than the others!"

    And if it's not true, explain the m16, usp45, m1014, m9, spas12, magnum, executioner, aa12, spaz24, l118a, barret50cal, ak47, lamentation, and msr.

    IMO: L118a is better then barret because I have noticed it is more accurate AND has a VERY good amount of damage. Also, dragunov is better then barret for ROF to damage to clip size ratio. FAMAS is worse then the AK47 because it has a 3 shot burst. More damage, just burst. Spaz24 is worse then the Model, and almost even worse then Spaz-12. Almost... Magnum and Deagle line up well, M16 just flat out sucks. I would take the M1014 over the AA12 any day because the AA12 wastes ammo. Executioner is only good on infect and oic. Deagle is better. Lamentation is pretty much the AK47. Can't tell a difference. USP45 and the M9 are fine. MSR and barret are good too.

    Personally, I don't like the barret because it has too slow of a ROF

    Let me explain, all the guns I listed are followed by some point later on by a better weapon, in fact, by those rules I could have included the m4a1 and dragunov themselves.
    Second, are you trying to tell me all guns in Mc-War are equal? All those comparisons you made are kind of pointless if not.

    EDIT: In fact, they have nothing to do with my original point. Great use of a post there.

    You talk about real life.
    Then you talk about COD.
    Then you talk about MC-War.

    Pick a mechanic from one and stick with it.

    if it was real life a sniper wouldn't one shot if you hit their legs, and you don't freaking regenerate health on he battlefield. You can't jump off a plane and not die, you can't get hit by an LAW and not be burnt, their would be more deaths, and you can't run around with a mini-gun...

    If this was real life, the game would SUCK.
    1. Nobody would use shotguns.
    2. A Barret would kill a guy and 3 people behind the guy.
    3. the map would be all ruined by LAWS.
    4. You would die in 10 seconds and not regenarate.
    5. If you get shot on the legs, you wouldn't be able to move.
    6. A tactitical nuke would just kill everyone.
    7. A EMP would effect your teammates too.
    8. There wouldn't be a "chat"
    9. Some noob will just kill their own teammates on spawn.
    10. Games would just last at most a minute.
    But good idea- snipers are pretty unrealistic.
    BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUN
