Would be interested in seeing if you do anything different from me.
Plus, i'm always up for learning new stuff.
Noticed your accuracy is 45%, (mine's currently 51%) do you tend to take shots more frequently with the hope of getting a hit? Prefer long range sniping etc?
I personally tend to be a bit of a mix when it comes to sniping, although the only times I like getting up close and personal is with my knife.

I'd love to have a round or two with any of you guys so that you could hopefully show me a thing or two.
Unfortunately though I don't think I'd get a decent server ping time to snipe, being from the land of Oz and on the other half of the planet!
Keep up the good work guys and death to all through our scopes!

Future Warning 2.0 - If in server with trooper DCDF, Books or Trooper Fein, Sinn, do NOT, i repeat, do NOT prone next to either one if the thought of prolonged active playing time is a priority. (I'll leave it to the reader to decipher that one )
"Post Script" (roflcakes) - Sinn purposely did not mention my name as he doesn't want to publicize the tag of the Wise SniperFrog that i am. He wishes to whore all my good advice to the expense of others...

My sniper only account, H.O.O.K.F.I.N. is at about 4.00 K/D, a little over... this account is a solid 2.50 (last time I looked).
I completely agree with some of the other posters... I think a sniper's main value is that he should be hard to kill, and therefor a tough ticket for the other team to burn.

About the longest kill-
I've said this before, but: I was laying on top of Hotel @ Karakandland ( ) took a shot with my M24, and tagged a guy waiting for the J-10 on Wake.
Seriously.
No, really.

But then I'm a careful sniper and hold a sniper's K/D to be an extremely important aspect of his/her performance; the game isn't won by scoring points but rather by reducing the enemy's tickets to zero before your team's are completely eliminated. In my humble opinion, then, one of the greatest contributions a sniper can make to the team's success is killing a lot of the enemy without being killed in turn. That can mean you don't get a huge # of kills in a battle (I typically average around 18-22), and it means you have to put in a lot of hours to get a lot of kills. I won't get the kills per hour of ChikyuuShojoArujuna or Nyte, but that's because I subscribe to a different philosophy about the way to snipe than they do. Neither my approach nor theirs is the "right" one for a sniper, it's just what works for each of us.
But thanks for the compliment; maintaining those stats takes a lot of discipline.
On a more personal note, I agree with Books' mantra of killing and not being killed rather than agressiveness. I have only recently (with the unlock of L96) begun to dedicate myself to being a sniper - and scorn those who play sniper and armor / plane / claymore whore, as they are a stigma to those who wish to call themselves snipers. My K/D is 1.14 ( ish ), but I do realize that time and discipline are key to get the expert badges, K/D, etc.
I can't agree more with that sentiment. When I worked towards my expert sniper badges, I REFUSED to accomplish it by armor/aircraft/claymore whoring. That's not to say I didn't have claymore kills when I did get the badges, but they were probably not more than 6-8 kills via it's use (I can't remember if I grenaded anyone when I received them). The majority of the kills were with the sniper rifle. That said, I always look up the amount of time and kills with the sniper kit vs. the time and kills with the sniper rifle when I check others' stats out. Needless to say, I'm QUITE IMPRESSED by many of the posted stats here!
That said, here's mine:
Sniper Kit Time: 147:32:35
Sniper Rifle Time: 122:46:25
Sniper Kit Kills: 4641
Sniper Rifle Kills: 3094
Claymore Kills: 691
Deaths: 1924
Ratio: 1.61
Accuracy: 52.24%
It's kinda nice to know that about 4/5ths of my time/kills are done with "sniper only" weapons, and are not attributed through "other" means.
Too bad I can't say the same with my engineer and armor stats. However, it does have to be SOME kit when your rolling around in that tank...
My method of play is a mixture of "careful" sniping, and "aggressive" sniping. I love getting kills that affect enemy morale or target choice. For examples: If you're a hellacious chopper/jet pilot that can turn the tide of battle against my team, ya better believe that I'll be camping your airfields or "favorite" hunting grounds with an M95. If our arty, uav, or satellite keep getting disabled, I'll be there with claymores awaiting and a view of those "choice" targets. However, the one thing that I enjoy more than anything is.... COUNTERSNIPING! On the flip side, I hate being the victim of a countersnipe five times worse than a death from a knife or shock paddles. Is that just my own pet peeve, or is that common among a lot other sniper enthusiasts too?Books_DCDF wrote:

I've been a decent sniper since day one, partly because of my use of sniper rifles in operation flashpoint and the scout in counter-strike. (It's funny killing a awm sniper in CS with the scout, pisses them off something rotten)
Sniping in Flashpoint is a LOT of fun, it has got very realistic bullet physics. So, it's a real fun challenge. (if you're patient enough to play it online then sniper wars in OFP last for ages, we're talking entire islands here.. MASSIVE maps that put BF2 to shame)
Yeah, I know what you mean about the addictive headshots.. For a while I played with the M95 only focused on killing helicopter pilots, drivers in jeeps etc.
As to other stuff, while I do play the sniper kit the majority of the time i'm currently trying to get positive k/d ratios for all kits. For example, I just went above 1 for the carbines. (spec ops was the class I typically played when I first started BF2)

I am curious, if you see Books in your scope do you spare him? Yould he do the same. On my part I spare no one since it is part of the game and when I am sniped by a top dog its part of the game as well... I do try to find where he was! By the way, my first encounter with both of you was a hard one, it took about 15 seconds before you got me![GDC]SinnFein wrote:

Mmm...nothing like waking up in the morning to nice long round of sniper battles.

The "flip side" is this - when we are both looking at each other, and its from a long range, i absolutely HATE seeing the flash of his weapon, and that half-second is slowed into a hour as that inescapble line of code flashed towards me...
I like it when there is more than one Sniper on the opposing team, because then I feel I am saving more of our tickets rather than burning theirs bc of the chances of sniper accuracy.
But yea, Me + Sniper Warfare = In-Game Happiness

Sniper warfare is definitely the best. Of course, there's also that occasional instance where I run into some enemy with a machine gun, within their lethal range, I stoop to a crouch, and I put one between his eyes for an instant kill.
However, snipers are my priority targets. I play with a couple of friends, and I've opted to play with headphones over external speakers. Whenever I hear the report of a sniper rifle, I can just about pinpoint the location of a sniper, and I always report it to my friends/squadmates. They're still amazed how I notice that rifle report, or I'm constantly visually discerning between a hidden sniper and background clutter.
I can only imagine how the top snipers in the game see the virtual battlefield. There have been a few instances that I've run into a sniper rifle artiste, looked up their stats, and said, "damn, that player's a sniping force to be reckoned with." All I can do is live with the fact that there are just some people out there that are just that good.
However, that's what makes sniper warfare so fun!

The "flip side" is this - when we are both looking at each other, and its from a long range, i absolutely HATE seeing the flash of his weapon, and that half-second is slowed into a hour as that inescapble line of code flashed towards me...
I like it when there is more than one Sniper on the opposing team, because then I feel I am saving more of our tickets rather than burning theirs bc of the chances of sniper accuracy.
But yea, Me + Sniper Warfare = In-Game Happiness
Have A Nice Day !!
Sniper warfare is definitely the best. Of course, there's also that occasional instance where I run into some enemy with a machine gun, within their lethal range, I stoop to a crouch, and I put one between his eyes for an instant kill.
However, snipers are my priority targets. I play with a couple of friends, and I've opted to play with headphones over external speakers. Whenever I hear the report of a sniper rifle, I can just about pinpoint the location of a sniper, and I always report it to my friends/squadmates. They're still amazed how I notice that rifle report, or I'm constantly visually discerning between a hidden sniper and background clutter.
I can only imagine how the top snipers in the game see the virtual battlefield. There have been a few instances that I've run into a sniper rifle artiste, looked up their stats, and said, "damn, that player's a sniping force to be reckoned with." All I can do is live with the fact that there are just some people out there that are just that good.
However, that's what makes sniper warfare so fun!
