BF2S Forums The best sniper

I agree, the M95 does seem a bit useless next to the L9.
It would be better to have a Semi-Auto unlock, it would feel less like having the same gun unlocked twice :p

I think the L9 is a noob weapon, the cross hair makes it to easy.

yeah it so aims for you

Bullsh*t,if you know the true impact point of the bullet for every rifle you can pwn with every single one of them.
M24 is just as good when it comes to aiming,M95 has an easy to find impact point but sh*tty bullets(so it's a bit less accurate).
And on Karkand every noob can hit with every sniper rifle.

Besides,I think I've had enough duels with guys on the arty isle on Wake that I can safely say that a lot of people even miss with the "noob weapon".

The only sniper rifle which I can consistently hit with is the M95. From my point of view, the L96A1 is hyped up cos I can never hit shit with it

Each to their own I guess.

L96a1 Ftw :l

I always try to use SVD or Type 88.

I can get headshots with the SVD.  Its still one shot one kill.  Even if I have a M24 on Karkand...I would switch to an enemy SVD in no time.

Favorite in order.
SVD / Type 88
L96
M95
M24....I have problems...it refuses to connect my shot.  I have 200 ping.

1. L96    I just love it.

2. M95   Kubra/Wake Pilot shooting only.

3. M24   SF.

4. SVD  CQC.

5. T88   Somehow I just hate that gun.

My bombs >  Your sniper. FEH

IRL the barret m95 is a 10 shot semi automatic gun, that if you shoot someone in the arms or legs, that limb is GONE and anywhere is they are dead.

Pardon? The L96A1 has the same characteristics as the M24, just a different scope.

Not really, the L96 is much quieter.

I prefer the bolt action rifles, even on urban maps. They're more accurate and they do much more damage, so even if you don't get a headshot, he's still extremely weak.

Interesting, I can't hit anything with the M95 but I'm not bad with L96.

L96A1 or M24, that depends on with what you feel more comfortable. Basically, for any skilled player constantly aiming for the head of another player those rifles are a must.
Usually, that's what Snipers do: They look for cover behind friendly lines and support their team by taking out key enemies (by that I mean gunners in Vodniks, HMMVs, Tanks, etc.) and other threats such as enemy snipers. With a reliable rifle you'll be their nightmare (believe me, I've defended the Hotel in Mashtuur against 2 transport vehicles and 6 infantrists just with my L96, one Claymore and my Knife, completely visible for the enemy squad(s) right ontop of the little nearby house roof, lining up one shot after the other).
I've also made the experience that people tend to react nervous but not horrified when you shoot them with semi-auto guns and that they will look for some shelter, a medic and soon for you, dear rapid-fire sniper. As soon as they see you, you're done, at least I doubt you'll be superior to a PKM or a G36 type on an urban map, also the L85A1, F2000, G3 can easily take you out very quickly. So be prepared to... run!
Hitting someone with one of the larger caliber rifles though, will imprint some confusing effect on your target, except the target is a medic and close to some shelter, which can possibly still be blown up by a well-placed frag grenade...

What I want to say: M24 and L96 are my first choice on any map, urban or not, because you practically hit the head if you properly aim for it and have the feeling for your ping. You can risk an enemy spotting you, shooting at you and you will still get him (Don't you fellow snipers also love to take out proning spec-ops that have already hit you once and now think their G36C owns each and everyone? ).

See you on the Battlefield (Maybe through my Scope, muahahahaha),

I meant the wounding/armour-piercing characteristics but yes, worth mentioning.
