First thing, I don't religiously play as sniper. With the BF series games, I always pick a class.. play the hell out of it.. then move on to the next one. Each class has a different style of gameplay.. it's sort of like playing a whole new game.
That being said, a few days ago I decided to check out the sniper class. I've heard all sorts of bad **** about the sniper class and how people despise it's aim.
2 hours of frustrating gameplay passed by and I was smacking my keyboard every single time I got shot.
Then, one magical round, on the *=SAS=* 64 player Karkand server (I always play there), I scored 68 points in a round as sniper class. I got 5 claymore kills, 3 kills with a machine gun mounted on that MEC truck thing.. and the rest were all kills with the rifle.
Next round, 35 points then 42 .. I forget the rest.
Another thing to note is that I didn't sit on a secluded hill and pick off foes. It just doesn't work that way in BF2 and there's no way to score 70+ points doing just that. Every sniper that does, usually ends up with 15 - 20 points max.
I was getting head shot after head shot with the M24. Then I switched to MEC and got so many 1 shot kills that I thought maybe my game came preinstalled with an aimbot :laugh:
I'm not saying this to show off.. I just want to make it clear that sniping takes time to learn and is very useful in game (contrary to what the majority thinks nowadays).
I can give loads of examples and loads of great sniper spots if you want but i think i've typed enough
