A while back I talked about how I'm horrible at sniping. And I still am. But I'm better now!
So this is just a shout out to all you terrible snipers like me, there is still hope for you! As it turns out, if you just keep trying to use a sniper you actually get better at it! In that vein, here are some clips from Trials that I felt good about. They aren't super special to most of you, but to me they are made of pure gold.
You'll notice in this clip that when I fire there is a nice blue arc above me. That was Wildthing shooting at the exact same time :-)
Last but not least is longer so I only have a link.

Nice clips! I had one last night that made me laugh.
Ever expect an enemy to run away, and so you scope in on where he's gonna go... only to find he charges instead?
(Usually, this ends much, much more poorly.)

haha, that's awesome. Sniping never gets better than that! :-)
You're inspiring me.

Put another way: "if you just keep trying to use a sniper eventually someone puts their face right in front of your gun and they die!"

I never said I didn't take the brute force approach to sniping.
