Sniper Squads

Re: Sniper Squads

In close quarter combat playing sniper is not the smartest thing to do because you are pretty much down to your pistol. Situations like that, there is nothing more effective than a shotgun, preferably DAO or Jackhammer. Also in medium distance combat, it's a lot quicker to kill somebody with a assault rifle than with a sniper rifle due to the more time needed to zoom in with the sniper. The advantage on the sniper rifle is limited to long distance combat only.
I don't have to mention the uselessness of the sniper kit on maps full with armor.

Needless to say, I still enjoy playing sniper when the map and the situation permits it.

Re: Sniper Squads

What you really want is a squad with snipers and at least one support and one medic. I've gotten 50+ kills on Warloard with nothing but claymores, but you need a support guy close by. You can operate in very close quarter fighting this way. It really bugs the heck out of the other team when every time they try to leave a base from any direction they get claymored, and another claymore is in its place again right away...

If you're by yourself in warloard, crawl under the helo in the interesection in front of Tv Station, laying a claymore out front. Then you can fire at TV without anyone being able to see where you are...
