Of course will people will want to be like them, But they never ruined CoD, People choose to play the way they do whether they were influenced to play like that or not, people have a choice of playing the game. FaZe and OpTic Brought publicity to sniping more than anything else

You can just blame it on 2 big clans when there are thousands of them out there.

If you are complaining about being killed by snipers in CoD, I feel ya. I hate it to, but it's part of the game. If you can't beat them, join them. I'm sure that's why there is a lot of 'snipers' out there now.

optic sniping ??? jk i only knew optic through competitive as they used too be over rated but now they have a strong team they can live up to there fans expectations
i used to play halo and using the sniper is a pretty easy thing if your good with it is it the same as COD

I disagree. I 'quit' Call Of Duty some time ago (although I do jump on Cod4 from time to time), after MW3 released to be exact and I had the honor a few times of some 12 year old child telling me I am talent less at a pixel generated video game because of the guns I select and how I navigate around the map in such a 'noob' way. But when I did still play, OpTic and FaZe were around yes, and I didnt mind that. I think its the bandwagon children that play the game that have caused such a word wide clusterf*ck. That's right, blame the children.

This can be said about many play styles in regards to Youtube, but the quickscoping and trickshotting are definitely the most prominent in CoD.

FaZe and OpTic aren't forcing you to be like them. They're doing they enjoy doing. They aren't forcing you to snipe or anything like that. Just continue to do what you do , and you shouldn't have any issue with them.

How can I play the way I want when snipers are better at close range than sub machine guns?

OpTic now focuses on MLG only they have actually improved the game into a more competitive scene

If OpTic and FaZe didn't thrive in the community not many people would snipe and less and less people would be Competitive in CoD.
