User blog:Zealot Guy/I suck at sniping.

A short while ago I was looking through my insignias to see which ones I was missing. According to my stats page, I did not complete the insignias for 100 kills with Anti Tank Mines, 100 kills with C4, 100 kills with Mortars, or 100 Marksman Headshots. So, I began my quest.

First up was C4. That one I finished up easy enough in Squad Deathmatch by being a sneaky bastard and booby-trapping the tank and stairs and what not. Then it was time for Anti Tank Mines. I placed a few around and did my think. I got a few kills, but I wasn't making very much progress, so I decided to skip to Marksman Heashots.

Oh. My. God. I suck. I really suck at being a sniper. I can't snipe for shit; not at long range. Sure, I can bring an M21 or SV98 to a closer distance and score headshots like a boss, but I can't hit the broad side of a barn from the minimum distance requirement for a marksman headshot! Oh, man! I used to think sniping was for skill-less, useless twats! Now I realize that it's not skill-less at all! It's still useless, I grant you, but it requires a good degree of skill to consistently pull off marksman headshots from those crazy-ass distances I often see snipers perched at. I could not hit a damned thing from that distance. Not a damned thing. How do they do it?

Should I go for it? I honestly feel like a waste of space trying to snipe but I want to get that insignia. Or maybe, just maybe, not having that insignia complete can be a message saying "hey, I suck at sniping, so I don't bother."
