BF2S Forums Snipeing and KDR's

Its been my opinion for a while that if your a sniper and have less then or barely a 2/1 KDR, then you my friend are not a good sniper. These idiots like nyte can shoot well and what not and sure hes good. Now im not saying hes not good but when you die almost as many times as you kill your really not helping your team, as your loseing tickets also for your own side. Snipers were never meant to be played like supoort or medic or assault. I typcially just move to where ever the action is on the map and find a good spot a bit aways from the action. but get close enough so that I know whats going on and i can clearly see the heads of enemys.

I just cant see why players who claim to be so good with a sniper rifle barely have decent KDR's with the kit. Just because you can shoot well doesnt mean your always helping your team. Now I know some of you are saying its not about winning...well your wrong it is. The whole point of all your efforts in the round is to win and maintain a decent KDR at least 3/1 or higher with a sniper kit. Because you kill some guy 3 times and only die once....thats 3 tickets less for them and only 1 less for your team.

So while players like nyte and w/e else are good shots with a rifle alot of the time there not helping much.

Try not to think of the sniper as someone who will end the round with 50 kills and four deaths, but moreso as someone who will stay in places where others won't, often protecting your flags.  Playing as a sniper is where most of my defend points come from, and I would bet it's the same for a lot of other people too.

Pure sniper kit use on Wake.
Kills only from sniper rifle and transport(which is ok for taking out chopper and boats).I only died once so I placed only 4 claymores around flags,so no whoring there.

Compare my score with the score of the other players.

Snipers are useless?I don't think so.

OHHH, so is THAT why my WLR beats all those snipers with KDR's above 2.

GG.

your so insecure its ridiculous. Always out to prove ur better. You look like a retard with a L9 snipeing in close combat. if your gonna snipe do it correctly. And your stats arent even 2/1....so be quiet nyte. Everyones got a hard on for nyte, its pretty sad really. Then you come here posting your life story 'confessions of Nyte"...like ANYONE really cares. ive seen you before on servers, its pretty sad....you snipe guys from 2 feet away....kill 1 guy, then you die and a medic revives you.

be thankful for medics nyte or ur KDR would be  negative with sniper kit. Snipeing in close quarters is just like useing a chopper to cap flags....your mis-useing the kit/vehicle.

You wanna do that CQ stuff do medic or assault or support.

and dont forget nyte...no matter how good you are, theres always some unknown guy that could always wreck you. You have one of the biggest mouths i've ever seen.

And I repeat:

"OHHH, so is THAT why my WLR beats all those snipers with KDR's above 2."

lol...cant you give at least a respectable response? You KDR with all kits and vehicles are barely over 1/1 and your WLR is barely over 1/1....so to me your nothing but another puber. Its really ridiculous that people seem to worship you because you can macro and shoot a sniper rifle 3 ft from a guy. Its pretty sad you even admit you macro.....at least before you were half respectable.

I always thought of snipers as a deterrant.  There aren't enough snipers out there who kill with one shot as soon as you give them the chance.  Instead of killing people and racking up points, snipers act almsot as an obstacle.  If I know a sniper is guarding a flag but I don't know exactly where he is, I'll be a bit more hesitant to go in and cap the flag.  I know there may be claymores around and he probably already knows I'm there.

Try not to think of the sniper as someone who will end the round with 50 kills and four deaths, but moreso as someone who will stay in places where others won't, often protecting your flags.  Playing as a sniper is where most of my defend points come from, and I would bet it's the same for a lot of other people too.
