    yep...some more sniper tactics (with a little difference)

    For a while ive been avoiding the m24 becuase i thaught it was the most unrealistic gun on the game, and its slow reload make it one of the worst.

    But, to advance in the game i needed to get my medal, so i decided to take one into the Strike at Karkland.

    Now i dont profess to have mastered the rifle as much as those who have used it from the start, but i do consider coming first using a sniper rifle quite an achievment.

    Here's what i found:

    1) I preferre to stay low and shoot up. I.e. lying on the ground in dark areas, as usually most snipers are above. Many enemy are going to be looking above. This has its disadvantages too, sooo.....
    2) Shoot and move. I know it sounds a little Airbourney, but, after about two kills, your ganna start getting return customers. But unlike being on rooftops, your ganna get plenty of areas to hide.
    3) Never leave your gun with one round in. Its suicide. If you miss...you need to be shoot again asap, as by now the enemy is running towards you.
    4) This lying low tactic works best in a chaotic battle, where the enemy cant distinguish between sniper fire and small arms fire.
    5) Obviousely, always prone and ina darkish area, preferrably near some vegitation, so you ghillie suit just looks like something overgrown, rather that a giant ball of moss on a roof.
    6) choose closer targets. Closer targets probably will only need 1 shot to kill or get a damage assist. Usually, they have alrady been shot at and damaged, so getting a kill is more probable. The distance i most preffere is when the enemy fills most of your corssheir.


    Well thats about it. But i plan to keep mastering it. However it still remains my best tactic YET! In Mastuur city i managed to rake in 12 kills sat right in the middle of a batlle, before i was killed by arty. TRY IT!

    Turnip :evil:

      Huh? The M24 has near perfect accuracy. It beats the M95 in extreme long range combat.

          it just takes 2 shots to shoot someone. They should of made it that as you are damaged you cant run so fast

            Not bad tips, i usually do the same, i can't stay in one plays when i snipe somone, he is usually by some others on his team and they will most likely spot where i shot him at..

              You have to concider the situation youre in to decide the best tactic.

              Shoot and move isnt always a good tactic. If you move you can be seen MUCH more easily than if you keep calm and stay put...sometimes.

              Going prone doesnt always help. It gives them a smaller target...but that target is all head.

              Someone might return for revenge but only if they can respawn nearby...and if youre any good you know where they can respawn and will see them fro miles away. Stand up and run around...and they can see you from miles away.

                There is actually a particular evil thing you can do with the shoot and move strategy.

                Normally after a couple of kills as you pointed out one of the victims is going to come hunting for you. Well obviously you move to avoid this but what you can do is move to a position that covers your previous position. Basically if the guy looking for revenge figured out exactly where you were he will be heading for that spot you are now covering and you can bag him again.

                It does not always work out but sometimes you can keep killing the same revenge seeking guy by effectively leading him on to your last postion all the time and be covering that. If it does work you do get some quite annoyed players :p

                  quite agree with staying in position sometimes. Sometimes, you can shoot quicker than an enemy can shoot you back. if its chaotic enough, you can stay in one position for several kills. But if you keep killing the same person, and he manages to at least identify you. you may need to shift positions. Dont forget he will probably be telling the whole of his team where you are.

                    Alot of people have realised you can shoot them with the sniper rifle then finish them with the pistol.

                    Sometimes i shoot them with the pistol first. They get panicked and confused because they dont know where you shot them from. Then shoot them with the rifle. If they do take cover its almost certain they wont take cover in the right position.

                      some of the best kills I have had are from a hill side (Mind you the WORST thing you can do because of siloutte) but fun none the less when they are looking in the crane you have moved to a different hillside and yes I have annoyed players so much to the point that I seemed to be the target of the entire opfor LOL

                        yeah the crane seems to be quite conceiling. Ive managed to say the whole game up there and never spotted, but shooting down from such a hieght sometimes only gives u a head to aim at a fair distance, so it can be unforgiving if you miss.

                            When you leave a position drop a claymore. Cover your back.
