\\SNIPING TIPS & TACTICS//

[Dr.Death7o7]

my tips..
1.-move around..never stay in one spot every round
2.-practice sniping while standing..such as through a window..it makes sniping crouched and prone really easy...
3.-find out what your good with...if you like the 1 shot kill...use it..lol..but i thinks its funnier when you get a headshot with SASR..lol..that gun is underrated :(
4.-if your using M87/M81..dont MISS!
because..well..that sucks and gives your spot away..

With sr 25 u shoot in the stomach and recoil willl go to head and in sandstorm on seals if u wait back hidden sniping the right and someone goes its always good to snipe of the tower with the little sattelite tower and snipe the inside but make sure when u start and hide the airstrike and jumpers can't get you

my post on sniping is to to take the shot,crawl into a different spot and lay down covering fire.also carry suppresors so if u miss u wont attract there attention and if u do kill them u wont be heard or they cant see where the shots are being fired from.for thermals,u can blind them with a flash bang or smoke.

Sniping:
1. In simple situations, learn how to give someone a lead for an easy hit. Put your crosshair ahead of the victim if they are running in a straight line.

2. In situations where the ground is full of hills with bumps (ex. Death Trap, Sandstorm, Foxhunt) go with the enemies movement. Sometimes this can be a pain because there are sudden drops and it throws off your aim.
2a. This can get you passed just giving an enemy a lead as well

3. Staying in one spot is good to an extent. The extent being the first 30 - 45 seconds of a round. If you stay in a spot too long just crouched down or prone for too long, you are bound to get killed. On certain maps it's good to stay in one spot (ex. Sujo, Sandstorm, Enowapi, etc.)

4. When you snipe a person...MOVE!!!!!

Avoiding Snipers:
1. If you know there is a sniper, I recommend prone diving and jumping in unpredictable patterns. (Foxhunt players know this)

2. If you hear a shot and it misses or kills someone else start prone diving and jumping.

3. Pay attention the little red arrow the pops up when someone fires a round out of their gun.

Thermal Scopes:
1. Don't use it unless you're blind.

2. If you notice, when turning on the thermal scope, you can catch a brief flash of a person's profile. To do this flash over and over, do a 2x zoom and zoom in and out of 1x and 2x. That bright flash is when you can notice the person's profile.



Stuff like sniping people mid-air, jumping out from behind a wall and scoping in mid-air and sniping someone, and all that somewhat fancy stuff comes from practice and sniper bounds. JUST PRACTICE

never go ontop of anything! ever! this makes a silloute, which lets them spot you more easily and from much farther away. snipe from the front side of something, a box,hill, etc. also, snipe from ehind bushes, thye see you inside them. always try to be atleast 4 feet from where they expect you to be, this is sometimes all you need (dont go on that roof, go on the one next to it, or snipe from under it, just dont go on it.) theworse posistion is the unexpected one, and therefore actally the best.

Turn Up Your Speakers!!

Listening while scoped in can save your *** sometimes, especially if you know how to conceal yourself well enough.

I know this may sound nooby but what the hell does altering the dead zone bar do?

[savagedrifter]

Deadzone is the sensitivity of the aiming. Put it more to the right, and you'll need to move the analog stick more to move the aiming. Have it more to the left and it takes less move of the analog stick to move the aiming. I have my deadzone in between 1/2-3/4.
