Dr Disrespect's latest take on sniper rifles sparks Warzone community's interest

Herschel "Guy," popularly known by his online alias Dr Disrespect, is one of the biggest names in the video game industry. With over four million subscriptions, Dr Disrespect streams Call of Duty Warzone and other first-person shooters and triple-A titles regularly on his YouTube channel.

Dr Disrespect has never shied away from sharing his heated opinions regarding video games on his social media platforms. On August 28, 2022, he shared an interesting opinion regarding headshots with sniper files in online video games:

While sniper rifles in Warzone have recently received buffs with the release of Season 5 and the Season 4 Reloaded update, the game's overall mechanics do not allow headshots from sniper rifles to eliminate opponents straight away. It instead results in a 'knocked down' state within 30 meters of range.

Any headshot over 30 meters would only deal a massive amount of damage to the receiving player, providing ample time to seek cover or reposition.

Following Herschel's initial tweet, Modern Warzone on Twitter asked the Call of Duty Warzone community regarding their views on this tweet.

Others outright disagreed with the opinion, proposing that such a feature would be too powerful on sniper rifles and would shorten the skill gap with other attributes such as TTK, bullet velocity and ADS (aim down sight) speed, which largely affect their performance.
