[quote]But even if he [i]did[/i] earn it, it shouldn't be possible in the first place. The game doesn't punish you enough for using your sniper at the wrong time.
A sniper is a precision weapon, used to pick off enemies or straight up headshot them from a distance. In this instance, he was barely at a distance, managed to aim down his scope [i]after[/i] the second time he was shot, and still line up an instant kill on my part.
There are other people saying that I wasn't "strafing" or "didn't throw a grenade first" or whatever, but no matter how I much of this I would've done, there was no real counter for what happened in the video.
How was I supposed to anticipate he would pull off a shot like that when in my mind was he was basically done for?[/quote]
Yes it should be possible. It takes good reflexes and hand eye coordination in order to move the scope onto the head even while getting flinched. The goal of flinching isn't to entirely prevent a sniper from shooting you. The goal is to make it harder to do so, and it is.
