The average sniper on an urban map..

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

yea i know, it is very annoying. i usually only play as sniper when i am commander and the clays come in handy covering my butt. you just need to aviod the paths that everyone else takes (i.e walk down a slope instead of a stairwell). being the groundpounder that i am, i know my way around the urban maps to where i rarely have a problem with clay or nade spamming.

in answer to your question metallica, it is an easy way to get guaranteed kills and points. most snipers do this and in turn give those who play the kit a bad rep. one of the things that cracks me up is when someone tries that on a server with mine FF on and gets like 6 TKs. its good por a laugh.

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

Woooooooooo....! Have i touched a nerve?? You seem a bit sensitive, take it you're one of the AT'ers that doesnt know how to use his PP19/P90/DA012 and runs about with the SRAW out permanently:) .

I know how the P-90 works (love that gun) fairly friendly with the PP-19, and hate the MP5 with a passion. Still haven't figured the DAO-12 out yet though.

But I also run around with my SRAW/ERYX out 99% of the time. Why? Because it lets me kill spawn raping vehicles. It lets me shoot down attack helicopts, it lets me shoot packed transport helicoptes. It lets me shoot packed transports, and sometimes it even lets me shoot FAV's.

I hate to break it to you but the rocket launcher is AT's main weapon. The SMG is a self defence weapon.

Yes it is a little easy to use in counter sniper operations, and it is a little too easy for CQB, but how easy is it to snipe an AT's head when he's shooting a missile at you?

I only use the SMG when I know for a fact no vehicles are around.

I don't mind them too much. If I see a sniper right infront of me and he throws a claymore down. I just whip out the knife and charge. He throws the second one down like a scared little girl and tries to run. To late I just stuck my knife in your temple. Then turn around and wrench them up. O the joys of being a engi on IO city maps.

18th in the world? my sniper stats beat him (dont look up snipers0, not my account anymore), to bad I stopped playing due to the huge amount of snipers that started up and gave the good ones who don't claymore whore a bad rap.

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

Because they know they're going to get at least two kills for the trouble...even more on Karkand.

Point and case.

Well I have a good share of clay kills on my account, but they are either from placing them somewhere around a position I am at or for defending flags.
Allthough I never place clays in plain sight but rather tuck them away on approach routes towards a flag or in an ambush style setup for DPV's and FAV's :)

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

A great advantage of taking down infantry with a rocket is that they can't be revived by a medic. Definate tactical advantage.

If I'm AT though, and come face to face with an enemy at a distance, I will use a rocket, as my SECONDARY weapon will be my DAO 12. After the rocket the pistol comes out.

Take this as an example. Try doing this with P90, PP-19, MP 5, DAO 12 etc... OK I could have used a pistol but the range was too far.

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

WHY.... why... do snipers run in to the middle of the action, spam their 2 claymores KNOWING they are going to die, and then as they are running away they throw their grenades until they die.. SO annoying.


I was playing rubberducky jalalabad last night with my friend, he's a good sniper, and actually *snipes*... Well I went in behind enemy lines and just snuck up on all those grenade spamming ****ers and just shot everyone in the face with my trusty M11-87 Ended up going on like a 20 kill streak within like 30 seconds.

Maybe they are trying to get an explosives badge.

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

Yep. That is the explanation.

If you kill them, they're sure to get you too.

unleas I come with the wrench and pick their claymores up

Is that up there with you being a REAL Army Ranger on a post that doesn't have a Ranger Unit, and run when someone asks you to answer a few questions every Ranger will know?


Sorry for the thread Hijack - Back to the thread

I play sniper quite a bit. I have noticed that many times a flag will be empty, I mean no-one is around at all, I'll get out of my cover and go down to cap the flag. When I get into the flag cap area, I will place clayores to catch anyone sneaking up on me. After the flag is captured I move back to my cover area and watch the flag. When some one comes to recap it they either get a round to the head, or a claymore. If it was possible to pick the claymores back up I would. I would feel better with my back covered, not with the claymores sitting where they will do me no good.

I will also place then in front of me if I am on a hill, I'll take a shot and hit some one, then switch to pistol and finish them, then throw a grenade to lure the squad to my Claymores. Take a shot or 2 while they are on their way. Some times it works, sometimes it doesn't, but with a 60% hit ratio I will keep at it.

Re: The average sniper on an urban map..

BECAUSE
first of all.
You utilize ANY weapon you have.
for snipers, one of which is the claymore.
Ill run out to the middle of the action and drop a claymore down..
another example is in SOURCE.
The awp people complain about it all the time, BUT ITS PART OF THE GAME.
stop complaining.
