These aren't one-off rounds either, rat>Ben.
So what?
when I take a screenshot of my stats it's because it has been an awesome round. I assume it's the same for you? How about letting us see one of your usual average rounds instead of bragging with your best, eh?
I'll give you a game and you will see, i only posted them because of relevance and the fact that in most of them there are multiple wookies owning it up, as i said before these aren't one-offs, all of the WOoKie's aren't your average sniper, we are dedicated to what we do, and most of us can manage rounds like that on a regular basis.

Negative, these are typical rounds, i'll give you a game and you will see.
I must have had the worst luck in the world for never playing with some decent snipers then......
And as todd Angelo also mentioned there are surely some skilled snipers that contribute to the game. And for all others, You can play whatever you want as long as you find it fun!

And I will add you to my leaderboard and join your squad some time. Then it's up to you to change my opinion about snipers


And last. I wouldn't want to have the kit removed because I love to knife your sniping wookie asses when your hiding in the bush!!!!

I don't hide away, btw add me to your xfire and we can hit a server if you want, see if i can change your stereotipical attitude towards us.

And btw your quote of me earlier is out of date, as i changed my post because i didn't want to come across as a big headed loser like another well known sniper we all know.

I simply love the sniper kit. Not that I am so godlike with it, far from it. Not even because I love to penetrate their spinal cord with stainless steel.

But they always, without a single exception, bestow our forums with lengthy and sometimes with sound reasoning discussions.

Really a feast for the eye.

Mmmm, then you're simply playing the game as you favour it, so the argument that the sniper is effectie, say  as a multiple usage class is moot. And if you're insinuating anything, take a closer look. I've got more time spent on infantry maps than ANY other map.

I love it, classic stuff: because you're arguing with me I of course have to suck and it has to be luck. Yeah, I stood in one spot for 25 minutes and fortunate for me 41 guys ran in front of my scope and I got a KDR of 3.4, while defending flags a half-dozen times; or another time 43 guys passed by my hiding spot, I got a KDR of 2.5 and defended 13 flags; and another game when 54 guys ran past and I got a KDR of 5 and defended 11 flags. Man, I must be the luckiest guy in the world! Go me; maybe I should try the lottery?

One thing I'm pretty sure of: you couldn't do the same, again and again. Now this is your cue to say you wouldn't want to because the class is useless, or you wouldn't waste your time, something like that. For the record: that would be an excuse
Yes, 3 games out of the 1898 games you've played. That's 0.001% of the games you have participated in and actually made and impact/proved yourself to be useful. Read Nyte's own comment that a sniper that camps in defense in any other map but karkand, you being the karkand wh0re that you are, is useless. Because BF2 = Flags. Nothing else. If you think otherwise you're playing the wrong game, go back to CS.

Interesting. Now this raises another question, how much weight should we give bearz's statements about clan play?
Let me kindly redefine it for you. PROPER clan matches, vehicles and everything. Not the gay-ass CS-wannabe matches, i.e. Infantry only for snipers like you. BF2WT (that's World Tourney for you retards) matches. Now, sharpshot, explain to me how useful your sniper rifle or your fucking claymore would be any use against the tank/apc convoy in Mashtuur city?

And for fuck's sake. Spare us the screenies. Put it this way I've got 700 goldstars, that's 700 games top in the server. So spare us. No one wants to see your 1/2 a second of fame

Vaguely is right I didn't actually, what I asked was, based on your level of vehicle use "why would you think someone should give your opinion on something to do with infantry play as much weight as you think it should have?"

polarbearz wrote:

Again you're letting your bias cloud your reasoning. The topic had already stopped being about competitive play only before the end of page 1; go check if you don't believe me. I didn't post until page 4! The fact that you're continuing to argue points with just me, despite all the other people disagreeing with you and posting contrary info clearly shows your bias.

Ah, no actually I wasn't although I can see how it might have read. I was just going for an example of a specialist player where there wouldn't be any point in him going in certain maps.

In all seriousness, anyone who has stooped to veiled threats of physical violence can't play the maturity card and expect to be taken seriously. But anyway, the reason I answered that point in that way is I know something you don't, but it's not something I can post as I'm not sure if it was shared in confidence. Perhaps if he's not busy and gets wind of this thread he'll post but otherwise I'll have to leave it at hehe.

You can't play this card with any legitimacy either; unless you just accidentally overlooked the very pertinent point that I made that bore directly on your assumed attitude toward my play, but given it's two long orange URLs I think that's doubtful.

Just like the attempt at a dig on my WLR I really have to wonder if you even looked at the right stats or do you just misrepresent things as a routine thing? You made some reference to Karkand before and I already told you I practically never play it any more... less than 23% is a whore in what universe?

I'm a Sharqi whore, and proud of it

I don't pretend to know anything about competitive BF2 play, that's why I asked how much weight we should give your views, instead of copping a typical forum toughguy attitude of "you're a wanker so everything you say is bullshit" and just dismissing what you'd said outright, even without the posts of more than a couple of others seeming to show that it wasn't as cut and dried as you stated. So, about competitive play/players, any problems with the premise in what I posted?

Guys this isn't CS, a sniper is not truly effective in cqc. Granted, even if you have the skill to make headshots on close-range moving targets (just watch some of the pro's in CS do it in .002 of a second) BF2 doesn't make it easy with a much stronger zoom, longer zoom in time, and the occasional stuttering. In matches with just a few players you're going to want flags while keeping tickets, which a sniper is not the most efficient in.

I can imagine that a really, really good sniper capable of getting headshots persistently over a long distance can be of use in a 12v12 or maybe even an 8v8 conquest match, but in <6v6 infantry matches, it's medics with the occasional assault.

ur a fucking cock whore...snipers can help decide how the round goes...yea some "snipers who sit and camp all round do a wee bit but squad sniping dude its the best thing ever it can save ur ass so many times...ha me and a group oh kids did that same speal as ur little tourny but we where all snipers but one he was a medic whore...we got second we pwnd man snipers arnt useless unless u find a shitty one then they suck but IMO medics are usless

Sniper's are not usefull on strike at karkand.. just about every other map they are useful.  The reason why no one is sniper on karkand, is because EVERYONE is a medic. EVERYONE stays somewhat together (at least on usmc) and if someone dies, they revive that person so they do not lose a ticket. In leagues, tickets are everything.

come on, you're just being a dick, why should it be removed? people like to play it and have fun using it, if you don't like it don't use it. easy as. so dont start saying it should be removed, let me see, you probably get killed all the time by snipers don't you

And you are? I don't take any offence at this, it's a good point actually and it raises an interesting thing I wanted to ask about.

Scrims take place on locked servers, right? So they have to be unranked and until recently that meant no unlocks, which is why we've heard it said many times that's why clan players prefer to use unlocks for normal play so they don't get used to something else. Correct? So that means that no matter how well or how badly you do in scrims it won't show on your stats.

Now, the standard of players in clans... the better ones obviously since some are going to be Mickey Mouse... is supposed to be WAY higher than on public servers, right?

See where I'm going with this? So good competitive players should have mega stats in terms of KDR, SPM and a few other areas... if only for recent play since you can improve a lot, and quickly, once you get competitive... since they're supposedly so much better than the general standard seen in the average public server. Shouldn't they?
Actually, yes. At a time I was as good as some in [20id], but then I stopped playing and switched to Wow, then back to bf2, and now I'm playing for -]NFL[- in CAL O.

Not sure where you're going with the whole unlock ordeal, but just to cover all the bases, I never use unlocks, when I pub I'm usually by myself (AKA no half intelligent people [clan mates] that know how to point and click with the paddles), and unlocks aren't allowed in locked games. Again, please clear up what you said, because I got lost. My new account (which I haven't played with much lately) does have [imega stats[/i] as far as I'm concerned. Certainly not Codeseven shit but its pretty good. Also, I tend to spread out certain aspects of play on different, low ranking, accounts, like with -]NFL[-Ram I played mostly infantry, with a bit of helicopters and the like. Those who compete on a high level ARE "so much better" than those who spend their entire BF2 careers in pubs.
