lol at 4:35 with the G36e pro.

TBH dragshooting looks cool sometimes but its so unneccessary most of the time. A good sniper simply finds cover, pops his head out, shoots his oponent as fast as he can, and ducks back to cover to reload.

Yeah I could hear his 'E' bullets hitting, but they didn't do damage, except for the dust puffing off me.

Basically learning to drag shoot in pressured situations now, as a split second reaction thing. Otherwise, I'm getting good at simply hitting the head amazingly fast.

Working on a new video, probably a month or so away.

Nice vid. I'm a n00b by my own admission but it might be good just to give this a go.

You will fail.

Not trying to hi-jack this thread but to stay on topic and contribute to the conversation of dragging, I thought you may want to watch this video.

Then do so. mint's a fixture of BF2S, so just practice. the more you "have" to use dragshots, the more you'll get the knack. if need be hit them normally, and try hit the body with a dragshot as they run for cover/health.

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?

If you see a target and you think you can hit, then shoot. Same with dragshots, move the reticule over the target and fire when it would be a hit. Practice is the key here.

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

There is a slight improvement in the time you are holding 'in scope'. Basically dragging stops you being stationary for so long. In terms of how the shot is taken its no more 'accurate' than any other type of shot made. Dragging is a sort of trophy for sniper types like myself. It shows that, not only have you mastered sniping accurately, but you can do it with speed and be effective at long and short range. I can't stop myself froim dragshotting in BF2, its a reaction that you build up once you've mastered the technique.

Youtube muted this video due to using copyright music. So I redid it, and made it available in HD now.

Good kills I'm tying to learn the same but just can't seem to get as good as that.

But thanks for the vid.
