Im a bit confused. Do you like shoot with the sniper rifle someone and move there and snipe next one and so on until you get to finish? Right? And you expect NOT to die while doing that? Like stand in the middle of the road in karkand with sniper. How long do you expect to live?

Sorry but i REALLY dont get this...

Why do people play golf? Surely there has to be a more reliable way to get that white ball in the hole?

The challenge is to alter your state of play to where you simply ignore all the rest of the people / bullets / explosions / vehicles around you and just focus on your own personal mini battle of killing people in order to achieve your objective. It is for those who simply fancy doing something "a bit odd".

I expect to die doing this.... well .... die alot come to think of it....... but damnit i will enjoy the look on confused soldiers faces as my sniper guy strolls through the mayhem, carrying his club and looking to his next shot.... with complete disregard for other points, kills or his own safety.

If only i could get a custom skin on my guy for the duration of my golfing spree.....silly hat, checked pants and a golf bag .... (think Samuel L Jackson in "The 51st State")........... brilliant!

I've thought of a way this could be a hole-in-one: go commander, launch arty on the hotel.  Job's a good'un.

I think trying to play the course as Commander is clearly against the spirit of St Andrews and should be avoided. Part of the pleasure of golf is enjoying the walk over the course, which you lose if you as Commander. in effect, anything coming direct from the sky is either a dropped ball or witchcraft, both of which are covered by the Rules.

I'm considering an anti-tank variant involving targeting only unused vodniks. There always seem to be a few of these around most maps. The downside is that without a caddy drop you are limited to five strokes per hole.

Lol this has to be one of the funniest things ive ever heard.....on that note..I LOVE IT. The skins would make it classic.  Just think....Tiger Woods walkin in the middle of a firefight, grenades, and c4 acting like its a spring shower.  My Question is this....what if your target gets killed by someone else right as you fire.....do you get a redo?

I did have a bash at this last night but there was an issue with latency on the course for me (in the region of 400+ ms) so i was unable to complete my round..... still think its possible in 2 shots tho.... will try again tonight!

.... has anyone managed to complete the first hole?

Impressive workout on what is a very narrow course. helluva dogleg on it as well.

Thanks for the praise.  I'd like to submit reviews on other courses.  I'll post em here. 
I'd really like to try the Par 5 on Warlord, from SAS Uncap (start in street near the tow) and finish at the flag in the sw corner of the palace courtyard.  Tee shot is the most difficult, followed by the green shot.  You'll have to post a hard shot right near the gate and then find your next shot near the flag quick.  Or maybe chip up onto the roof tops across the street and then wedge your way to the flag.  Either way, you'll have your work cut out for you.



"Can you use an apc as a cart?" - MarkyMark

I believe the use of carts are for caddies only.  See the course official in times of question, but the ettiquette is to walk it out.

Update to the Warlord Par 5:

I made my goal with a Birdie!  My first shot put me ontop of the buildings across the street from the 8 story tower.  A slow walk to the spot ensured my team had captured the tower so no spectator interference.  My next shot placed me on another rooftop near the south side of the flag just south of my pin. A bit of a scare as the walk there was interrupted by obnoxious spectators.  Luckily someone else's caddy kicked them off the fairway with a well placed volley of APC shots.  I had to wait a bit for my next shot, but soon enough another sniper (Golfer) found his way to the rooftops on the north side of the complex I was on.  After posting up there, I could zero in on my green shot.  After about 30 seconds, a wonderful shot presented itself in the form of a spec-ops planting C4 around the pin.  Using the rooftops is an advantage in that you can defeat the wall hazard and have a clear line at your pin.  This round took me several attempts (8, I think), but despite the frustrations of the prior 7 attempts, it's well worth the try.  Plenty of scenic, shot up buildings to look at.

Sorry if anyone was trying to play behind me, I just couldn't get off that 2nd tee box!

heh nice

I'm thinking on a variation of this which I do pretty much for fun anyway on Warlord, which is to snipergolf with ziplines for travel. Mostly because you can get to almost every point (except the ones in the palace) by zipline on that map.

I'm not too sure as to the use of ziplines.  I'd venture to say that the SGA would frown upon the use of anything other than sniper issue combats as transportation.  Might have to take a 1 stroke penalty there.  Maybe an acception would be when your shot places you onto a building that doesn't have ladder access.  Of course, the caddy should be there to supply you with grappling hook for access.  But in the absence of a caddy, the use of a zipline could be acceptable. 

On a seperate note, I'd love to see someone attempt a nightcourse.  Nightflight, Leviathan, Devil's perch?  For the professional golfer, experts only eh?
