Gamers can't really be called "courageous" for their pretend exploits in pretend wars with pretend characters, but if we could award at least one man for his out-and-out brass balls, it would be whoever the guy in this video is. He can't seem to spell worth a crap, but he can certainly take out snipers in the most humiliating way possible.
Witness the thorough shame, captured on video for our twisted pleasure. You wish you could be half this cool in a videogame, but you never will be. You're just not uncool enough in real life to get this good.

You know what I would do in that situation (getting a message tsaying "behind you")
Pull out and hold a grenade.
Or use the C4.
With luck, you'll take him with you.
@ Agent: If I had an Xbox I would definitely do that.
I've seen videos like that for the past two Call of Dutys(Duties does seem right for some reason). I think I had a more humiliating kill when I knifed someone through a window in sub base. He was crouched against the wall and had a riot shield out so he clearly thought he was safe and secure. I saw a bit of his head through the window and went up, not even knowing if it would work, and knifed him, smashing through the window in the process so it looked especially badass. Also, getting crushed by an airdrop is pretty humiliating but I was on the receiving end of that one.
YOU CALL YOURSELF A JOURNALIST, JIM? HOW DARE YOU POST SUCH NON NEWSWORTHY STUFF WITH ALL THE VIDEOGAMING RELATED NEWS AND HAPPENINGS GOING ON RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND! I'M NOT EVEN USING CAPS LOCK RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST SO MAD THAT I AM HITTING MY KEYBOARD SO HARD THAT THE LETTERS COME OUT BIGGER.
I'll never got tired of these videos, but I want to point this out: stationary sniping isn't the same as camping, a camper in my books are the ones who waits in a corner to kill players when them show up themselves. Though, in a game like CoD you can't be lying the whole match dammit.
He didn't even spell Behind correctly. For shame.
Oh, and those "Slow news day, eh?" people are assholes. Since when did this become a respected newspaper? Since when is anything related to videogames actually news? STFUAJPG.
pfft lame. I once got behind a guy in the same game, drove to his house, had a threesome with his wife and teenage daughter, took a picture, sent it to him with the note "Look behind like they didn't" and knifed him.
@StingingVelvet: I was more concerned by the fact you can run and jump off of buildings, aim in mid air, and hit the ground without even bothering to bend your knees, in a "realistic" shooter.
Well Jim I guess everything you write from now on must be 100% original completely ignoring that some people (me) may have never seen this type of video or may still enjoy it.

And in better fashion
It amazing how calm Snipers tend to be without changing their line of sight.
Anybody who complains about slow news on the Saturday after New Year's Day must have learning difficulties or something.
Sure is difficult.
I'm jealous.

There is a difference between sniping and camping, you know.
