Meh, 1v1 in a pub. You could just stay far away, keep taking shots at him and hope for a lucky headshot.
Try sniping in a match.

Rite, so you and DMoT come against me and Trash with your L85s. Lets see which is the better gun then. LoL.hiberNative wrote:
while i agree that an AR user may win over a good sniper if the medic has cover, the l85 is definitely better at range.Mint Sauce wrote:
Yeah I can use both of the guns well, and my years of research bring me to the same conclusion I came to 2 quotes ago. M16 and G36E are better than the L85 at long range, because it is too hit and miss. It also sucks hard at medium range.hiberNative wrote:
what are you talking about? have you even played this game enough, or learned to use the l85?
Basically, it will be a prone spamming, medic bag spamming cluster fuck. A decent AR user can out snipe even a pr0 sniper at range, with the presence of medi bags.
coming from a colonel medic account with 175k points and an overall fragrate of 3.4, i've played so much karkand i shit sand. i used to be a g36e whore a while there, until i met this dude called DivineMomentofTruth (http://bf2s.com/player/43384786/). i even went ingame and battled against his l85 with a kind of even outcome (usa ping ftl), but then we started playing together.
after that, i started to practice with the l85, and it's an awesome weapon, people just seem to be put down by how uneven it can be.
now it's my primary medic rifle, and since i don't run after my nose around covers, it is serving me very well. you really need to increase the tapping to short burst when the enemy closes to medium range, and it's functional in cqb too, as long as you don't hold the trigger.
what i've experienced with the l85 is that it's really picky when the ping is high, and if your fps is low. might have bad registration cause it's an unlock, but i've tweaked the usersettings so i'm mostly getting great registration as long as the ping is below 60.
better gun... or better player? it's all about your playing style.Mint Sauce wrote:

trash seems to be good at what he does. you just seem to kill a couple around a corner and die.
i've played against people who has challenged me. the wins aren't rewarding at all. they just leave. no satisfaction.Mint Sauce wrote:

l85 is awesome if used properly
Unless I'm missing something, it's all medics VS all snipers, in which case everyone on the medic team can revive.eaglecorps wrote:
snipers will win. All they gotta do is kill the reviver. easy shit.
Yeah, we (snipers) got powned. But it was not IO back then.specialistx2324 wrote:

they sometimes whine about me not playing fair, running away and killing them in easy ways. hi? i'm moving to get the best case scenario for my rifle. i'm not gonna bunny around someone with an ak101.
"no, don't act like a coward, play like a man and face me"
a man? oh, i'm sorry. this is the same kind of people that refuse to use the g36e cause it's "a newbie gun" and "too easy to kill with".
about you, going around the forum challenging people with your stock m16 that you think is so good. i know what weapons are best when, i don't need to kill you 5 times to prove it.Mint Sauce wrote:

I don't think we got "owned" as the KDR's were pretty awesome for the snipers (we out-KDR'd the Medics). We just didn't play as a team that's all.Barrakuda777 wrote:

I think it could be a contest, obviously I would want as strong a sniper crew as poss.....
Medics schmedics.
Kooda
And that, in a nutshell, is why my money is on the medics. Sniping is great for getting nice stats, but games are decided in close quarters where battles are to the death and entire squads get wiped out. Long range kills don't hurt when you can just revive...Nyte wrote:

Count me in Kooda, see the post on the wook forums.Barrakuda777 wrote:

i agree, but put a really good sniper in a group of good, steamrolling medics and you'll have a great squad. sniper damages for fast kills and takes out annoying, enemy snipers while getting healed/revived if he gets shot.Nyte wrote:

I will settle for you not being on medicEye-GiZzLe wrote:
