Especially spectacular kills are appreciated in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare . However, even the less successful scenes can be celebrated, as an unfortunate sniper now shows.
This is what it’s about: A video of a sniper has surfaced on Reddit, who is not particularly good. He misses multiple shots and eventually gets taken out.
Still, the clip is popular. Many players seem to identify with the poorly performing sniper.
Bad Sniper Delights Viewers
This is the clip: On Reddit, the video (as of July 2 at 10:30 AM) has already received 17,000 upvotes:
In the clip, you can see a player chasing his opponent with the DMR “Kar 98k.” He manages to take 4 shots via quick-scope. In the end, however, he misses all of them.
During the last shot, he was even directly in front of his opponent, who then notices him and easily takes him out. This opponent, however, does not need to fire 4 shots that go astray beforehand.
How is the clip received? Many viewers celebrate the player and his failure. They see themselves in him and have likely played just as poorly at times.

Jay_Hogwarts shows understanding: “I’m also into these quick-scopes, and damn am I bad as a sniper.”

Why is he doing this at all? Quick-scopes are currently important in Modern Warfare. You need to eliminate some opponents via “quick-scope kills” to unlock the new sniper rifle Rytec AMR.
However, the player may also just have wanted to share his failure. This is actually well-received in the community. In January, another player showcased his skills at throwing grenades, which were not exactly good. In the end, thousands of viewers cheered him for it.
