I want to know everyone's opinion on the SVD. Personally I think it sucks, but I have seen snipers in first place with it. Mainly on Kark of course.

I dont like it on any map.
It's as good as all of the others once you get used to the fact the center of the scope isn't quite where it aims.
It's good at shooting bullets at people but not much else.
I was disappointed that you couldn't use it like live preserver in case your boat dies.

It's decent. Very good for karkand and sharq, worse than bolts for larger maps.

If you are a noob who lacks any aiming skill you use it (or if you don't have any other sniper rifle unlocked). The only thing you hear on karkand is the clacking of MEC snipers using the SVD, and their claymores. So it is a "good" weapon if you suck at aiming.
It's better for close combat stuff than the other rifles.

The SVD is pretty good. It's too bad there isn't a semi-automatic sniper rifle as an unlock.
SVD is good rifle, I personally find it fun to go all headshots with semi-auto rifles. SVD and T88 ftw!
You're mistaken. The SVD requires skill to use.Hoot wrote:

Any good sniper with the SVD will destroy with it. You don't need to reload between shots, meaning you can take on groups of infantry with no worries. 10 bullets per clip x 6 clips = potentially 60 headshots. Think of it that way That said, you will find some days it just isn't working, and the precision of a bolt action will do the job better. It's all about style of play too. If you're sitting back you may aswell use a bolty, but if your running round supporting your squad, it does a great job. It's not great over range though, it zooms less, and the sights are bollocks I'll always swap my M24 for an SVD if I get the opportunity.
Best gun in the game.

Seems like the SVD is good for maps that are open but not too open. Maps like Karkand, Great Wall, or Sharqi.

I'm really wondering how you would smuggle the SVD into Great Wall...killer21 wrote:

You can take out squads with this rifle, and kill a guy be4 he can even react with 3 snapshots and some recoil / muzzle lift control. So is it good? No doubt.
Playing sniper on BF2 is shit and boring.
Oh damn, I meant Ghost Town, not Great Wall. Was thinking about Great Wall from last night. Sorry about That.globefish23 wrote:

I couldn't agree more, I love the M24 but if I kill a MEC I will always pick up the SVD to confuse the enemy with the sound of it, it is 1 of the best guns in the game, better than the type 88 imo the sights seem more reliable, a lot of people shoot it like an assault rifle in single shot aiming for the body but headshots are easy and consistent if you let the recoil settle down after each shot, definately feels like you're cheating a bit it feels too easy especially if you're behind cover and most of the enemy team are coming for you, you can easily headshot them all without them getting a hit in.JakAttaK wrote:

Like Jakattak said there does sometimes seem to be servers or days where it doesn't seem as accurate as it normally is, and it can be good for long(ish) range, just the better zoom and more damage and accuracy of bolt actions make them obviously better long range, SVD is pretty unbeatable close to mid range though because of how accurate it is for headshots (100% accurate on first shot unlike assault rifles) and the fact you don't need to reload after each shot, you can no scope it when you're standing face to face wit someone and have a good chance of killing them by spamming it as well

I like the SVD !
It's a good rifle in certain situations. Especially for hyper players...... If you like to shoot a lot with a kit you shouldn't be shooting so much, choose the SVD.
