DONT!
Sniping in BF2 is a completely different sport. The most important thing to know is, YOU DO NOT HAVE ARMOUR!
What that means is, you will die if your even strafed by anything ealse then a sidearm. Along with the SpecOps, you are the most vounerable class in the game and will bruise like a ripe tomato.
Snipers are NOT team players. If you do choose to be a sniper, create your own squad and lock it. If you want, you can allow one team member. Prefferably a Medic or Support, for obvious reasons. By having your own squad, you can request the comander tools at your discression, which is vital for sniping. You can call for UAV support, so you can see where your targets are, Supply dropps to rearm and heal, and an arty strike when you get annoyed. Also a vehicle dropp is handy when you have to get out of dodge.
Keep away from the action! Snipe from a location that dosent attract the attention of the horde.

you missed BarrakudaSSS's point in that this particular account he uses for cqb sniping, which amongst other things this superficial guide failed to deal with.ShellShock.PwN wrote:

ok he still has a MAJOR majority with karkand with his hours. If thats supposed to be a different type of sniping account i fail to reconize the difference between the two, 360+ hours on karkand and i tihnk i seen 2 40+ on other maps. Im not ripping on barracuda, im sure hes an amazing shot but i fail to see how playing 90% of your total time played on 1 map can justify being a good sniper.molotov<bf2> wrote:

if you want to see how well he copes with other maps i suggest you check out his main account Barrakuda777, then pick up a knife & fork & eat your words.
I played extensively as sniper on all maps in the early days and I found my niche as a CQB sniper, which is pointed at by the OP as not being viable, however as Karkand is the most played map on bf2, and I run at an average 8+ KD for over 250 hrs I would tend to think he is incorrect.ShellShock.PwN wrote:

mind you those are some amazing stats but all around i dont think id take barracuda.
please read my post carefully.ShellShock.PwN wrote:

just to clearify, i never once said Baracuda is a bad sniper, someone had said they would rather have cooda on their team rather the the other dood. I was merly stating that overall i would rather have someone with more experience on other maps. now with thatsaid, cooda had said he can play on the other maps but doesnt like to or soemthing like that. so i would probably change my mind. i too like to snipe, unlike others tho i dont like to play karkand. the thing that got me going was the " eat your words " that you had said. i hate it when ppl make stupid comments to piss someone off.molotov<bf2> wrote:

kooda specialises in cqb sniping, karkand is the most extreme example of this - thats the polar opposite of say dont_be_ss who snipes on wake with 600m visability. both love their respective maps as depending on what classification of sniper you happen to be, each map is like crack.
whether you think one is 'better' than the other is purely subjective, because at the end of the day they can't be compared.
if you are writing a sniper guide the prerequisite is you either discuss both methods or alternatively specify which classification you are discussing.
If you have the simple arrogance to tell everyone it is 'The Professional Guide' & don't, people will treat it with the contempt it deserves.
Sorry mate that is a very good way to snipe lot easier to lay down than jumping around like a fool and also laying down makes it harder for a shot and being recognised jumping up and down my make it harder getting the shot but gives your postion away right away so I agree with mattBarrakuda777 wrote:
Completely disagree on almost every point.
Feel free to argue, your wrong to suggest your way is the only way.
P.S. There are some good guides out there actually and YOUR OPINIONS presented as fact are annoying. I am a different type of sniper to you and just because I play differently does not make it wrong.
Kooda
P.S. Stats to back your expert opinion?
I won't referre to other parts of the post but I love Wake it's like crac to me I only play weekends at Internet Cafes but I have done 25 hours on wake and I have only done 30 hours on BF2molotov<bf2> wrote:

Prone and stationary targets are by far and away the easiest to kill in the game...digger89 wrote:

In BF2, sure it's a bolt action gun, but in real life it's a clip.Reciprocity wrote:
sorry rimjob, the 95 is a bolt rifle. the 82 and it's variants are semi.MattTheGrunt wrote:
Whats the difference, do i hear you ask. Well lets get to the basics. The M24 and the L96A2 are the only two bolt action weapons in this assortment, meaning they come with laser precise accuracy. It is a fact that they are both equaly accurate, have the same amount of ammo and do precicely the same amount of damage. The only difference is the crosshair size. The L96A2 has the thinnest crosshairs, enabeling you to take carefull aim at long distance. Which in a combat situation is essential.
The rest of the weapons, the M95, Type-88 and SVD are semi automatic. Eventhough the M95 appears to be bolt action in BF2, dont be fooled, it is infact semi auto. The Type-88 and the SVD are by far the worst weapons in BF2. They lack firepower, accuracy and practicality. Which dose not mean they are out of place. No no, they are specialist weapons.
