Sniping beyond the haze (150 meters)

Re: Sniping beyond the haze (150 meters)

If a target is running do you have to aim in front of him a lot, a little or not at all?

Depends on your ping to the server. If you have like a 150-200 ping then you'll have to lead your target. This might explain why many times you think you hit your target, but don't score a hit. Someone also stated that the enemy's armor has a chance to block a shot completely (you get a grey poof - don't know about this one though).

If you find yourself missing shots that should clearly be landing, find a new server with the best ping possible.

speed and distance also matter bullets have velocity. Though i'm still willing to argue that bullets have no bullet drop (or bullet drop that actually maters because me and friends have done tests at huge ranges and fond no bullet drop.

on oilfields you can just about get kills at 550m. pre-tweak i managed ~540m and had to aim like a cm above his body!!

A good way to snipe past the fog is find a support guy or any body shoting in large burst like on a tank and put it above the flash you might not kill him but your helping your team

its possible if your settings are all on low, i can make out distant shadows from an angle, and judging from the depth of field, i usually nail em, it just has to do with your video settings...probably why bf2 isn't directx backwards compatible, cause then it'd be easier...just my 2 cents

It's funny that 70% of the avatars are sniper avatars ^_____^.
Indeed map specific I play a lot Wake Island (my fav. class still is sniper.. ) But now I'm going for the medic since half of the people who have a uber-spm and a lot of points are medic and I need some points..


I though there was a video. Sniping from huge distances..

Guess almost everyone has seen it though?

i meant before the rifles were tweaked in patch 1.2, there was serious bullet drop before that.
