************************************************** **********

Even though i have only been playing this game a few days, i have found these to be the best methods:

-More people running around means youre more likely to get caught proning in the grass some where. But with more people, there is a higher chance that they are stupid, and will search high spots and hilltops. Learn to snipe from inside buildings, around corners and even in a open field (if you have a giullie suit)

-Proneing with that M87 or M82 may make it steadier, but it makes you alot more vulnerable to attack. Learn to snipe with a bobby scope, and get used to leading targets. Speaking of which....

-When trying to kill vehicle whores, always take out the driver first. If you take out the gunner or passenger first, then the driver or another passenger might notice where your shooting from.

-Pick and choose your shots. If two guys are at the foot of a cliff opposite you, don't try to take both of them out unless you have backup or a semi-auto sniper rifle (SASR or the SR-25)

-Know when to use a high scope and a low scope. In terrain maps that are medium in size, i use a 4x scope to snipe quickly. In big maps, take out that 12x scope and get FAR from the action.

-The SASR and SR-25 are a snipers best friends. Now that the SASR can be scilenced, it opens up a whole new field in terr. sniping. Use this to your advantage. Another benifit is that they are lighter then the other rifles, thus alowing you to carry more equipment with your. The M87 and M82 are OSOKs (One Shot, One Kill), but they are extreemly heavy, almost forcing you to drop your nades and pistol attachment

Please add to this thread. This is all i can think of for now. Enjoy! :D
