BF2S Forums [video] Sniper - Learning to Drag

in what servers do you play?
those guys were really pathetic...

For someone just starting Dragshoot, that wasn't half bad You can tell you are learning, and to me some of the shots looked a bit forced. Personally, I only do the dragshot as a reaction. If i see someone that startles me, my first reaction is to scope in and take a shot whilst still keeping moving, and keep the shot quick. But for anything else, i try not to make the shots harder.

However, practice is required, so keep going about like this, and you won't even have to think about doing it It just comes natural. And btw, great improvement on your previous play style, and I completely agree about the rush you get . +1 to a fellow sniper

Cheers. I don't gert the chance to play sniper often, usually medic scrubbing with mates, but every chance I get to lone wolf and do a little sniping, I'm working on learning to try and get it down pat to a reaction thing. After watching 'Hintakaari' and xkullx's, drag shot movies, I always wanted to learn to do it. But yeah, it takes a lot of practice, patience, and a server with good rego, lol.

I watched it until you did facesitting on one of the dead bodies.

Well acme that was really good shooting if you are just learning to so called dragshooting
i also like the vid because it wasent 24/7 karkand ( well i am 24/7 karkand )
+1 and keep training

That must be why I was getting the better of you in pub the other day; because you're still learning. I might try, I was doing some of it, based on videos i'd seen on bf2s. I got some pretty good jumpshots that day. I still don't really want to get too good at sniping, you don't snipe in scrims or wars. But for smashing pub, its quite fun.

Best of luck mate, see you on a server.

Yeah, I just got this email from Vimeo.

Dear Ackmeezy:

Your video 'Akme - Learning to Drag (1466436)' has been removed from Vimeo because it violates our policies.

Vimeo does not allow porn, commercial videos, gaming videos, videos that incite hatred, or videos that you did not make yourself ("I have permission from the creator" does not count as making it).


Regards,

Yet there is still a heap of other BF2 frag videos on their site. Oh well.

I guess I'll upload it elsewhere. Any recommendations on sites that maintain as good quality as Vimeo.

Just gives me more reason to avoid servers you play on I don't know whether to feel disappointed or relieved that I didn't see my name in there.

Have re-uploaded it to gametrailers for now. They don't show it in the greatest quality, but I will try gamerz-theater later on.

With the dragshot all you do is drag the crosshairs over the targets head and click when you think their head is. I dont think there is any taking advantage of hitboxes involved, it's just another way of sniping, instead of leading your target or letting them run into the shot

hello friend

I've tried dragshotting, but all I always miss, even when aiming for the body. Is there a way to tell when to shoot, or do you just need to "feel" when the shot will connect?

Nice vid BTW. Fortunately I haven't made an appearance in your scope..... yet.
