Lead is tricky, if you've seen one or two of the sniper vids that have been posted here you'll know what it looks like, that's the theory, but doing it yourself is a whole 'nother story. The only way to improve is to practice; but be realistic, some people are just better than others because of their reflexes and maybe experience in other games etc. so you may not ever be good at it but you'll certainly become better. I'm not great at it at all (too many years of the wrong type of FPS) but I'm better than I was; without looking at more of your stats your aim is probably better than mine was before I practiced more so you should be able to do quite well.farmerfez wrote:
Yeah...Don't call me a noobzor or nuthin but i SUCK at sniping...hehe, I just wana know like how to set up a good lead and hit long range targtes...I use the l96A1 and the M24 a lot so with those scopes.
You're not the only one! I'm so out of practice with it that I can barely function with one now and using it again lately on Dragon Valley (so I could snipe guys trying to use the jets or helos on the carrier) I thought it sucked but that's me, not the rifle.farmerfez wrote:
I cant seem to hit anything with the M95 :*(

As Nyte puts it "passive and aggressive sniping"Towelly wrote:
Practice, used to be a useless sniper, now I'm semi-useless. As for hitting moving targets and such, first check your ping, has a every large effect on sniping, if its in the double digits (preferably below 50) you should be fine on that, unfourtunatly firing weapons on this sin't exactly like real life, so drifting your target isn't the best way to hit them, just wait for them to be a half cm or so behind your crosshair and let hell come down on their heads.
As well as this, you should ask yourself, what type of sniper am I?? many people, such as and dont_be_ss black_rats, [GDC], and many more are more long range snipers. They can sit 400m or so back from the front and pang people off with ease, where as people like nyte, and to an extent myself prefer to hit people at short ranges (100m or less) both take skill, but differnet kinds. Just see what you like.
But still, just practice.
I have to correct you on this, i am NOT a long range sniper, I always snipe on the city maps and as i remember it, i killed you a few times ALL from close range and i have screeniesTowelly wrote:

Single Player is what I did, bots are so dumb... they just stand there! My only complaint is that AI is programmed to launch artillery only at you. Pain in the ass... but excelent to practice with.gator45666 wrote:
play single player and find some good hiding spot and then just go to town.
This answers the question"Where does SinnFein hide in his sig?" - In the pub behind the mountain....[GDC]SinnFein wrote:
I was a 'long shotter' or 'passive', the up close work always would get me blood pressure up and just lead to me spilling me Whisky.
