i dont care about tricks or whatever.  you just point a click.  no worry about breathing or wind or anything like that.  its easy.  plain and simple.   now tricks are tricks.  we aint talking about tricks.

Are you trying to compare sniping in an online game to sniping in real life? lol

no "commonsense" (lol you ever used that name).  some games you have to control breathing also ya know.  bf2 is just point and click.

Not as such...But it's still using the rifle, and the kit is called "Sniper". It is meant for "proper" sniping, but some people, myself included find it boring, and can do better on the front line.

So go one better and use a kit more suited for it. Snipers who run into

It's normally the medics or support fags you get doing that. I for one have never thrown a nade at someone when I can shoot/stab them

Medics and "support fags" = far more useful to the team than any layabout snipers, or dumbasses that use sniper kit in CQB cuz they think it's l33t.

I fail to see how someone playing as support standing next to a wall bouncing nades off it can be more useful than a sniper running around and capping flags, helping his squad of medics. the only "dumbasses" that use sniper kit CQB because they think it's "l33t" are shit at it. It's all situational. If someone is at distant, I'm not gonna not shoot him. But I would rather move with my squad, and get the odd CQC kill than sit behind everyone with a claymore either side.

A gunner who lays down steady fire and has body armor, who can resupply the squad is more useful. Completely useless, proned, is an easy headshot. Body armor don't mean shit if the guy doesn't have a face.
Another medic who can rez and heal teammates, more useful.  [b]Yeh they can, but if you're a sniper in a medic squad, taking the first guy out who is laying down fire will let your guys run to the dead guy and mow down his friends
Good squad leaders I see usually don't want a squad of snipers. Alot of good squad leaders are snipers ^^. Plus I'm normally the only sniper in a squad. I tend to play in squads who the rest of the squad are medics.

I realize this is out of place in a "best sniper" thread, just registering my opinion that in the bigger picture, sniper is the least important, least teamwork oriented class. .. teams with a ton of snipers aren't generally on the winning side.

LOL  a sniper toughguy

Your "frontlines" sniper is owned consistently by any other kit on the same skill level; you aren't making l33t headshots at close range.

You whole point is assbackwards; sniper belongs in the back, or in the periphery, or a stealthy rooftop in enemy territory. That is what snipers are for. I know you think your "better at it" but you are just using the class wrong.

Not. Not all snipers are little pussys. Some snipers like to take the fight to the other team

lol, yes throwing claymores and grenades at your feet IS total skill!

Medic is the only class a team will ever need, end of, so this is a pointless debate.

Support is all you need, snipings for people with something to proove. Medics are for people who crave the points. Support is for faggots

But only when Snipers arent allowed to use their claymores, right ?

i like to play at NG server because they have 0 tolerance on clays.

too bad there is no servers where nades, clays and g36 are forbidden.
