Sniping questions

[IRON_MAIDEN]

Do you always try to take ouy ppl sprinting or do you wait for them to start jogging or do you wait for them to stop and get a headshot ???

Re: Sniping questions

If their sprinting straight towards of away from you then obviously it doesn't make much difference, however if they are running sideways to you then i wouldn't really bother trying to hit them while they're running, like you say either wait till they stop or start jogging.

Re: Sniping questions

You should always try to hit them when they are running sideways and you have the m24 or m95 (or type 88 and SVD for that matter). Because if you hit them with 1 shot, it's just to draw your sidearm and finish them off.
It is just a matter of calculating the time it takes for the bullet to reach the place where the enemy will be. So always aim a bit ahead (more if they are sprinting) and try to atleast get a hit at the torso, then if you haven't killed them yet, they will atleast be easier to kill for you teammates :)
All it takes is practice and after some time you will get a sense of how much to aim ahead. I haven't played sniper very much myself until recently, but I can say that it's very satisfying when you get a headshot on an enemy that is sprinting sideways trying to get cover. He will never know what hit him :p

Re: Sniping questions

i always wait because i try not to get the 2 shot kill...i always try to aim for the 1 hit headshot while standing still...reason for this? say u do hit him..but in the chest or something, so hes hurt a lil bit..and then u try hitting him againt..itll take a lot of luck..and sometimes if u do hit him he'll pause for a sec and try to spot ur location ..which could end up with u getting knifed ...later...so i try to be patient and wait for the prey to set themselves up

Re: Sniping questions

Well if he stops when he's being hit it's just to put another bullet in him and he's dead. It depends on the situation if you are alone you might want to wait him out, but if you have friends nearby chances are he won't find you anyway.

Also, most people don't just stand still in a corner waiting to get shot, so you will have to learn to kill them while they are running anyway

If you hit him with m95 he will die instantly if you hit him with another shot from you sidearm

Re: Sniping questions

Generaly I'll wait till they are going at an oblique angle or less. I avoid the runners that are going perpendicular to me... you can hit them but it's usually a round wasted and I run out of bullets more often then not. If you really want to do the pistol/rifle combo to take them out... hit them with the pistol first. They will usually slow down trying to figure out what hit them, and then you can nail em with the rifle.
