How to be a good sniper.

[aocfork]

no lead off time at all. no bullet trajectory, just where you shot you got.

THanks i got alot more head shots today, i guess ya don't have to lead off.
Do you guys have any tips on how to snipe in dark areas without thermal scope, cause without it i can't pick off a single guy!

[aocfork]

yep, dont look at your screen as a whole. look at certain points and shift your eyes looking for a change in color, and you will spot an outline.

I've already posted, but i found some new strategies.

Snipe from the most unexpected places. Good snipers always check the windows for easy kills on noobs looking around up there. I try to hide somewhere with weird angles, so its not a straight shot to see me.

Be aware of other snipers!! If you're playing a team of 8, chances are, there will be at least one sniper on their side. Know where the good spots are for the other team and put something between you and the opposing sniper or just take him out before he sees you, but remember, theres no hiding from a thermal.

And Finally, The M40A1 is the best sniper rifle in the game. I recently started using it and its the most accurate gun in the game. Almost all of your kills will be head shots if you use it. It is so much fun. The scope doesn't move at all when your prone and barely when your standing. It take two body shots to kill a guy, but it fires fast enough to make that easy.

You obviously have tunnel vision or something or just a phobia of using the weaker weapons. The 9mmSD is the most accurate handgun in the game by far. Try it out sometime and you will see...

:) another tip.. watch for your elevation... if ur shooting lower... better be in a crouh position because prone will make you shoot the ground in front of you... ie above hostage building in dg, some parts in foxhunt

i found that out, but still dont like its weakness, 2 torso shots with a mark 23 kills, 5 with 9mm...

thats why you aim for the head....

[Schneider707]

When your running around make sure you are using your pistol...even if you have a SASR or SR-25. Take your time shooting...when I run around and jsut start firing away as fast I can... I die, but when I take my time and hit them in the head or the chest they go down twice as fast and I barely lose any health. Just make sure you take aim!!!!!

P.S. I actually dont pull out my pistol with SRs or SASR because I've practiced with them enough to know how they shoot without a scope...try it out if you want but keep in mind that they have crazy recoil.
