Re: Wannable Sniper Needs Help

The only drawback i can think of for snipers would be that if you happen to bump into somebody with a close range weapon, your screwed... but your an idiot for doing that anyway.

Well first Oman is good but you should try Mashtuur if you would like to snip. It has many places to hide in urban and rural places.

As always aim for t3h head. This game doesn't have a bullet frop up to about 150m but that's just me I guess so don't aim higher then the targets.

Yes, practise makes perfect. The M95 is good but try the SVD a bit it is a great weaon and on Oman you don't realy need the M95 much.

Re: Wannable Sniper Needs Help

you have a point there about bumping into someone around a corner, unless you have a knife and he has a grenade or something like that....

explain further, ive never heard it b4

In your controls menu you can set 2 different keys for most stuff. To Fire a weapon the default is the Left Mouse button. But you can opt to bind a second button or key to Fire a weapon. In my case I used the extra \ which I have on the left side of my keyboard.
If you use that second key on your keyboard when you want to Fire your weapon you wont accidently nudge the mouse which would throw of your aim. Pretty important if you are making long puts with the Sniper Rifle :)

The only drawback i can think of for snipers would be that if you happen to bump into somebody with a close range weapon, your screwed... but your an idiot for doing that anyway.

I have guys looking for me all the time. Especially when I either sniped them a couple of times or they see that I am in the server. Thats just what they do, nothing you can do about it.
But seeing as how many tools a Sniper gets with his Kit it shouldnt be a problem surviving a 1 on 1 engagement. You just have to make sure you have the environment working to your advantage. If people see a Sniper they are allready overconfident so use that to your advantage as well I would say :)

Re: Wannable Sniper Needs Help

The majority of my sniper kills come from overconfident fools instant-proning at 50m away from me, thinking that they could actually beat me to the first shot.

Even if they're firing while they prone, the most I'll lose is 6 bars of health, while they get headshotted. Thats where the hack whines come in.

^^^^^I know exactly what you're talking about. My favorite is to jump insta prone and headshot under 20ft. Its funny how many people underestimate a sniper. If im going up against a sniper I never stand still for too long no matter what. Let alone instaprone.

When i bump into a close rnage engagment, if im near a corner ill bunnyhop around it drop a nade at my feet incase he comes around (clays take to long to arm) and then sprint.
If im not then i rush him (this is why I usually keep one clay handy) and bunny hop and drop the clay and then drop a nade at my feet then pistol.

Re: Wannable Sniper Needs Help

It takes practice its trial and error mostly its not like rading a guide is going to make you the best sniper ever.

Yeah, but if you read guides and stuff, at least you know what to practice, instead of practicing the wrong technique.

Re: Wannable Sniper Needs Help

I think being a sniper is fun personally, you go into your own world, and make life hard for medics and supports like myself, so many opportunities and possiblities are avaliable for the budding sniper....

Eddy.

Your video shows that you definitally have a knack for stealth. You also have a knack for putting yourself in a favorable position against people who are essentially helpless to an easy headshot.

Kudos! Thats what being a sniper is all about.

I disagre with your, 'don't stand up' advice however. If you're put in a 50m standoff with a player with an automatic weapon. Standing up is pivotal, however, you must both aim quick and shoot quick, so that you can crouch and prone back down before he can retaliate with his own gunfire. Then you can just stand up again, and take another potshot before he can close in. Thats the Designated Marksman way!
