An examination of the Sniper kit: Why is it so attractive to new players?

Re: An examination of the Sniper kit: Why is it so attractive to new players?

Krysiss, you know me, and you've played against me.

Even at my worst, I was still a major threat to you. Now imagine me with a one-shot headshot gun that zooms in close enough to make your head stand out like a 400ilb duck at a shooting range?

I can guarantee that I am more of a threat as a Sniper, than 90% of the BF2 community with any other kit. Personally, I believe I'm more of an Anti-Personel threat as a Sniper, than with any other kit. I have a vastly higher K/D ratio with a L9A61, than with any other gun. Even if I don't have as many kills per minute as I do with the PKM or RPK.

Of course, I'm not a traditional sniper. I'm a Designated Marksman.

Me better with aussalt then sniper :laugh:

but Most of the time snipers don't give me a fatal headshot, and most of the time I will get away then. So i have no big problem with hem only with there gaymores actions at flag on IO server there is no way to get rid of claymores without blowing yourself up.

Im not one to call cheating, but many of those shots looked like they were nowhere near the head.

Thoughts?

Thoughts are as they were over a year ago. Chikyuu is the best CQB/DM in the game. I have played with him on several occasions during the last year and his style works in BF2. Its a direct opposite of my own but I can appreciate his skill and time put in the game. He is a well known and respected member of the old DMZ sniper community and recognized by all the top snipers as being one of the best in the game.

I could take him. I'm not joking in the least about this.

Although I probably wouldn't be able to a year ago back when the Sniper Rifle wasn't laser accurate in close range combat.

Maybe it's time I made my own video.

Maybe you could have gone head-to-head with him but I seriously doubt it. But you will never find out because he retired from the game just as I have.

For the common good of BF2 :laugh:

Re: An examination of the Sniper kit: Why is it so attractive to new players?

Well.

With him retired then; I shall safely claim myself as the #1 Designated Marksman in BF2...

Which is probably because I'm the Only Designated Marksman in BF2. :cry:

Hmm dunno. Maybe you can see if you can get on a server with Nyte. He plays now and again and he is from Canada. Here is one of his better movies Battlefield 2 Sniper Kit - Nyte. Style and pace are equal to ChikyuuShoujoArujuna

If mounted machine guns, TOWs and STA sites were a MAJOR threat to their respective targets, Snipers would be having a job as jet/helo guardian angels.

dont_be_ss, had a look around your guys forums, saw a lot of impressive stuff. My respect goes out to the dedicated, professional and impressive sniper community.
