@@happysh_t4202 Hey bud, a Sniper rifle is (yes even in COD) meant for longer range combat utilizing its scope's high magnification. Thats just how SNIPER rifles work
He makes every weapon look so damn easy. I got this gold last month - I have no damn idea how he avoids hitmarkers every other shot. I get them even when I hit people in the shoulder. Made the bloodthirsties nearly impossible. That said, the iron sights are FUN AS ALL HELL. You die a lot, but feel like an absolute badass every time you manage a kill with it.
You only need that with the DSR, cuz the ballista has high handling speeds, and you should be using the DSR for hard scoping in things like SND and League Play
it just sucks this gun still hasn't truly come back. the XRK Stalker from the new MW3 is pretty similiar, especially with the iron sights attachment, but it still lacks the ballista feel and bolt placement.
For you guys who are arguing about hard scoping and quick scoping, There is a difference between camping with a sniper than hard scoping while running around the map. Hard scoping is originally made for snipers but doing quick scope is a plus on your skillset which means that if you hard scope, you are not a nuub unless you sit and camp on 1 area.
5% Comments about the actual video 95% Comments about quickscoping and hardscoping. Thanks for the video guide, Ahoy. It's amazing how most people on COD have so much skill with sniper rifles so I figured I should try it out. But I hate people who just complain about quickscoping and hardscoping. You shouldn't waste your time and skill shooting a bullet in game if you don't even know you're gonna hit. Everyone has a different gaming style and no one should tell you how to play. I have respect for all players so don't misunderstand me, it is just my opinion. Your video helped me improve my sniping accuracy because really, I'm always screwed when it comes to me missing a bullet at close range XD.
The ACOG and iron sight attachment option for this weapon is quite decisive; the iron sights will avoid the fettering of your accuracy through an EMP system, while the ACOG scope provides you a clear view on target - useful on closer quarters, but can be shut down by EMP rapidly.
I love when his recommended class is the exact one I use. I just got my ballista gold and I enjoyed using it. Love the iron sight. Working on the dsr now.
1st: your voice sounds so epic if you talk like that with the background music 2nd you're an amazing quickscoper 3rd the ballista looks incredibly awesome with the gold camo
Still it gives the Ballista the power to hit through walls, bad enough it's chest up kill power, as most shots hit the midsection. While the Ballista has good penetration power keeping it on par is imporatant, except if your the person who camps and uses a more tactical build. the BlackShadow
***** Gun attachments dont affect scorestreaks, only against them. Who is gonna go against a sentry with a Sniper. That is what C4 and Black Hats are for
Has anyone else noticed that infinityward has made all the major and amazing changes in CoD. Starting with cod 4, then mw2 went more in depth, mw3 wasnt the greatest but it happens. And now with ghosts, their new engine and game mechanics. I honestly have major respect for them. What about you xboxahoy?
Given the fact that these weapons are meant for long range engagements, the idea that they fire is inaccurate from the hip shouldn't even be mentioned.
Maniac742 There is no such thing as auto-aim, only aim assist. Just like everybody else, it helps us have better aim. Aim assist isn't the reason why there is "quick scoping", but people actually being able to do it.
Maniac742 That is true, there is absolutely no aim assist on PC. However it is much easier to aim with a mouse and keyboard then a joystick. With a mouse you can easily guide your mouse to wherever it needs to go.
Maniac742 No it doesn't trust me, if i were to take off aim assist on console it would just make sniping a little bit harder. There are tons of videos online of people quickscoping on PC.
Probably because Fn Herstal is Belgian and they have a decent selection of weapons. The Scar series, Ballista, F 2000, Five-Seven, and P90 are all FN, and thats just one company in Beligium.
This is a fun weapon, I like the variety of snipers in this game. My class for it is a perk-heavy, hardy, and mobile class. Ext. magazine on the Ballista, secondary Tac-45, Flak Jacket, Toughness, Tactical Mask, perk 1 and 3 greed with Lightweight and Dexterity respectively. It's a fun build for CTF if you are a confident sniper at closer ranges. You can also swap out one of the extra perks for tactical grenades, or a lethal grenade and laser sight, depending on the situation.
Its so funny to see that some people cry cause other people quikscope and play with more skill. Why shouldnt having more skill been rewarded ??? Quikscoping and Trickshotting makes the Game to a different game, where you pick up ure buddies and freak out if you hit a awesome combo.

The FNH Ballista is in fact a German rifle known as the Unique Alpine TPG-3. Design, R&D and production are done by Unique Alpine in Germany, while FNH took over marketing for the US market and in order to fulfill the US defense contract requirements.
It's because the killcam is just a gimmicky replay, it's recorded button presses being "repressed" again but there is no recording of video whatsoever, it's a no scope effect that the bullet goes somewhere random, but the button presses show the kill anyways. If that makes any sense I'm not great at explaining.
the highest you're comfortable with. I was a super low sensitivity player when I started. By the time I quit I was playing comfortably at 1 below max sensitivity.
same here, I switch out the concussions for perk-two greed so I can have toughness along with fast hands, and the b23r is my favorite pistol in the game.
I agree with the guy who said straight pull bolts should be rapid fire for snipers. In both bf and cod it be a great idea. Take of the milliseconds it takes to turn the bolt. The besides that grant like a 15-25% increase. Other then that since bolt snipers have to pull the bolt before and after the reloads it could speed up reloads.
I love that the gun doesn't move when the bolt is cocked like all call of duties. I've actually used a ballista in real life and trust me, it's not as buttery as call of duty says it is. In fact, no bolt action is.
True, if you are quickscoping and you get shot halfway scoped in without toughness, it will go over his head but if you have toughness and that happens it will move up ti his neck or head giving you a guaranteed kill unless you are using a suppressed SVU-AS sniper
For me Fast Hands is a must. C4 goes on all my quickscope classes. And for the occasional hit marker or miss, just switch to a Pistol or Remmy and blast em.
FN just produce a lot of strong weapons in this game: the SCAR, the HAMR, the FAL, the PDW (P90 evolution) and the Ballista. Developers gotta love FN weapons
the Ballista is my Go-To Sniper Rifle for most Sniper roles. assault, defence, stealth, and lock down. Variable Zoom and a 2nd attachment of any choice. secondary gunfighter, Tac 45 long barrel and tac knife.
First build I disagree with totally. Take off the laser, extended mag, and the duel weld. Ballista - naked Kap 40 - (or Remmy 870/KSG) Lightweight Fast Hands + Scavanger Dexterity C4 Stun - (or non if going shotty for secondary) Not sure but I think there's still one point left if using the Kap 40. So you could ditch the stun and add a fifth perk.
The RPG actually does lock on to score streaks if you aim on the streak it will make a few beeping noises then it does fast beeping noises and that's when you shoot it

I got one tip with snipers use DSR or Ballista with fast mag and when u shoot immediately reload and cancle it so no need to cock it.
You only need that with the DSR, cuz the ballista has high handling speeds, and you should be using the DSR for hard scoping in things like SND and League Play
Anthony Rodriguez before the patch if you reload cancel'd the ballista it could shoot as fast as the xpr...
Do you remember this comment?
That pun though, wish he still did these.
Favorite gun of all time.
it just sucks this gun still hasn't truly come back. the XRK Stalker from the new MW3 is pretty similiar, especially with the iron sights attachment, but it still lacks the ballista feel and bolt placement.
