I was wondering if anyone has ever used a sniper rifle at close range. The way i figure it, it's a helluva a lot better than a DAO-12 or maybe some shotgun, at killing someone even at close range. So, what are your thoughts?

Be prepared for it to get warm in here.

How close do you mean? Do a search for Nyte's posts and for mentions of 'combat sniping', that should be what you're talking about.

This just in: EA has hired a crack team of law enforcement officers from around the world to enforce the ROE.  If you are a cheater/dotter/stat padder, don't be surpised when the ROE police airdrop at your house and place you under arrest.

Most, not all; let's try to remember that.

Do a search on deviation and what it means in practice for the unscoped sniper rifles and you'll see how much luck is involved in hitting a barn doing this.

Sniper are useless and almost always noobs. Only time it is OK to be a sniper is if your a medic and you die and a sniper takes your kit and revives you. And once in awhile the claymores are handy and if the claymores where on any other kits the sniper would be totally worthless.

Because hypocarcy is a mountain that even the laziest and most retarded of us can climb.

Just like everyone else I payed money to own BF2, 'n I'll do what the Fuck I want. Like I really care what is looked down upon?? BF2 is a Game for christ sakes.

If you and others can get your Pants in a Twist over small things like that then maybe you've got some growing up to do.

BF2 = Game
Game = Fun
You = No Fun
No Fun = No Life

He must be talking about himself I guess, check his stats on the Sniper Rifle ... Kills: 388 , Deaths: 833 , KDR: 0.4658. Lol what a noob It takes him 6,5 shots to even make a kill with the rifle so the pretty much leaves out any Bolt-Action Skills for him

Putting a marker doesn't do the trick, how dumb are people.
Fire at a wall with a sniper rifle unzoomed and the bullet won't hit the same place all the time. Or where the crosshair "should" be.

Well no scoping is VERY bad in this game...

I can get my scope out fast enough and I aim for their head, ive turned corners scoped and put a bullet in the head of a guy 3 feet from me.

Sheesh, I wish people like you would preface your opinions with something like "I think..." because as a statement of fact, like you put it, this is nonsense.

Even though a lot of new, inexperienced or not-very-good players do admittedly play this kit doesn't even make the noob part right because you grossly exaggerated. Plus, you may not notice all the other nubs in a busy server who're down at the bottom of the scoreboard where they tend to get overlooked!

Claymores, once in a while are handy? Try regularly defending flags in the rear, without having to tie up one of the team so he's free to be at or near the front line; plus that's a potential ticket or two lost to the opposition every time. Do you remember your highest flag defends for a round? Was it 16? I'd bet a fiver it wasn't that high and I owe it partly to clays.

Say your squad is being harassed by snipers while taking a particular flag, or crossing a bit of territory (like the advance to TV Station on Sharqi) what are you going to do to counter them, throw grenades for crying out loud? Snipers are not only useful to the team, they're essential to counter enemy snipers in many situations; so bottom line, if the other team has a sniper or two you'd better have at least one yourself.
