idk, it just blows my mind as to why anyone would want to spend all that money to sit and wait forever for someone to wander by.

If you've watched Jarhead, or Sniper a few too many times, and think that that is sniping.
Sure, some real armed forces snipers do spend most of there time camping, but the bulk of them are "Designated Marksmen". Up until NATO switched to low impulse .22, these guys didn't even use rifles which were particularly different from standard issue, and, to this day, they move with their Company, Platoon, what-have-you. What sets them apart, is that they train harder on marksmanship, than other areas, much like a Sapper, Light Machine Gunner, or a member of a Morter Crew. They are
specialized infantry.
If you think you're going to be able to camp, get real. Being stealth on your approach is useful, but you are going to need more than one shot to do anything to the opposite team, and even that first shot is going to give away your position. Then you're going to learn why people who know what they're doing, stay in groups.
Work on putting your paint where you want it, but stick with the pack. "Army of One" is a Moto, not a reality.
