The only time you come toe to toe with a sniper would be on his terms when he wants to ....and it will end badly for you!! lol


Oh sorry back to the game!!

Before 1.4 nerfed the bunny hopping, a good sniper could easily escape an ak101 weilding enemy or even kill him with the pistol, but now you're dead meat.

Snipers dont stand a chance coming toe to toe with other infantry now, where as before they did.

EA/Dice have totally killed this game. It's no longer fun to play and once again they've adjusted for the PFC noobs that couldnt kill someone pressing jump a few times.

Oh well.
Then you really aren't doing something right with the pistol!

Look people, be glad this isn't Call of Duty 2, where you can use a sniper like a freakin shotgun.  BF2 is fine.

Snipers are not meant for Close combat you know......Seriously the only snipers that are somewhat good in close combat are the automatic ones. On the Mec side and the one on China.
Sniping is done from 500+ Meters and you'll be quite safe.

You would think that till you chase one around the corner and get slapped with a claymore. There is more than on way to cook a rabbit. Not everyone has to resort to lame hopping to survive.

See where I am? See what I'm holding? Lotsa 'combat snipers' use bolt-action rifles for their power.

SO STFU AND GO PLAY  if the patch makes you soooo happy.
You can go shove those precious stats right up your ass. Stats are meaningless, there are plenty of players that have some poor ratio that are good. Most of the time, it's because they got killed a lot as a newb.

Meaningless or not,that's up to everybody himself,but stats are not 100% accurate about the actual skill of the player.
Some people had to upgrade their machines or still run it on crappy ones.
I started with 512MB,then 1GB and finally 2 GB RAM and since then my actual development of BF2-skill began(and I'm still waiting for my new computer!!!).

Another thing is that it actually takes time and experience to get a decent K/D-ratio,be it with each special kit or general behaviour(checking for clays,running from arty,etc.).
Snipers in particular have to follow a certain code of rules to stay alive and get decent scores,so it takes time to erase all the mistakes.Medic for example can be played by every noob and he can be successful with it.

Patch 1.4 didn't have any impact on my skill or playing style,I get the same scores like in 1.3.

Hm... I have no problems with sniping in 1.4... actually my playing style has not been affected by it... No Cartillery anymore though landing on my head. And personally... I love Road to Jalalabad for sniping... long distance sniping with 250 to 350 Meters (apparently the viewing range is not higher there)

I play to have fun. If I felt like it, I could spam clays and nades on Karkand, J-10 rape the carrier on Wake, tank whore on Karkand or Jalalalabad or Sharqi. But I don't feel like it. I'm not concerned whether it is good or bad or decent, I have better things to do all day than worry about stats.

Sorry I'm so used to my crappy graphics I forget how different things can look with better settings; I thought it would be an easy spot with the concrete floor, the pipes in front of me, the plywood to the right and the crane off to the left. Hope you can see at least that it's a bolt-action I'm holding.

If it helps I'm facing west and it's right in the middle of the things.

Well, since we're talking about who's 'allowed' to talk about sniping, your stats are interesting: nearly twice as many kills with claymores as with the rifle?!! What's up with that? It's not like you were protecting your accuracy or anything

I may not be a sniper but I can say that anyone who has that many more kills with gaymores then with the sinper rifle may as well play as an assualt.

And its a damn shame if you die from the sniper at close range by his pistol/knife. Snipers, AFK, Newbs, or anyone that dont know your by them calls for a defibrillator .

1 this topic is stupid,i feel ashamed to post my wise words for these jokels.........
2 being an easy kill depends of your skill, not of your kit, i can EASILY own an assault with my beauty (l96)
3 the pistol is often missused and abused, its silenced for a reason
4 knife is better then pistol in houses and behind corners....
6 don't fall back to your pistol too soon, even in CQC you can still scope.....
7 practice .....

Well I for one get better scores because 1. The ex. D-divers now have nothing on my G36C, and 2. because the rounds actually finnish so my pwnage is registered.
