Top 10 Epic Sniper Skills of 2011 Caught on Video

Sniper Skills of 2011

Sniping is a skill.

Ever since the golden days of CounterStrike, players have valued their skill with the sniper rifle above all other weapons. Due to their one-shot tendencies and their ability to hit things at long distance, sniper rifles have become the go-to weapon for every skilled FPS player. 

Despite game designers' efforts to improve the usefulness of other weapons, the sniper rifle's lethality has not diminished over time. The weapon continues to reward skilled players who've learned how to quickscope in the latest games like Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3.
