Agree to some level, but when the battle goes for the last flags, example SF Warlord palace, then a sniper is not much of use anymore; Even the most experienced hotshot sniper is less usefull that any other class.Flakturnal wrote:

If being a good sniper requires you to play another class then.... hmm.
Good point.TeK||drake666 wrote:
i think a good sniper supports his squad with asscovering and medic killing!
when i snipe (yes sometimes ^^) i try to take out the enemy medics first!
What I mean is that sometimes a sniper is needed, sometimes they are not, a good sniper is a person who can realize this and use a rifle effectively when it is needed, but can also use a few different kits once the necessity of a sniper is no longer there.Flakturnal wrote:

Kooda
If you like to work for accuracy work for accuracy. But if you want to be the best sniper you can be (the most use to the team) accuracy is practically irrelevant, as a goal in itself. You might want to consider kills/time... essentially, SPM... plus KDR. A very high KDR is the ideal for a sniper, if you play the traditional standoff role. If you play as a 'combat sniper' then, ideally, you compensate for the lower KDR with a higher scoring rate (faster kills, more flag points).KILLSWITCH wrote:
However do you guys think that accuracy is the main attribute of a quality Sniper or is it merely an accompaniment to many other attributes??
I second that and imho the best skill a sniper can have is the ability to choose an other kit.usmarine2005 wrote:

Repeatedly; it's all about the multiples. Anybody can be gotten once or twice.DaReJa wrote:
When you can beat Nyte or one of the other, MANY good Snipers here, At a Good 'Ol Shootout.
Depends on the map and player load. If you're halfway decent, on an urban map, the server isn't full and you're there for the entire round you should be near the top a fair bit of the time.hayesjam wrote:
...so it takes some amount of discipline to be a sniper in the game, to frequently to be in the lower middle of the scoreboards rater that getting the high scores kinda sucks but thats what you have to deal with and the team benefits as a result.
Well if you think both unlocks do this that might be part of your problemhayesjam wrote:

I have two accounts in the top 20 for accuracy with the sniper rifle. Don't mean squat.The#1Spot wrote:
Im ranked 9th in the US and 26th in the world for sniper accuracy just dont shoot every thing you see like what most people do.
And yet they can't pluralise a noun. Amazing.Choumichel wrote:

Forget about accuracy,not with the lame "smokepuff and no headshot"-issue in BF2 (but it only seems to be affecting short to medium range,I've never had a smokepuff on a 400 meter shot)...
Don't make the mistake that a lot of top players make of applying your standard to everyone and thinking that's appropriate. Nyte's infantry KPM is higher than that of most players who use automatic weapons all the time. And, incidentally, slightly higher than yours for recent play globally, just under for the sniper rifle.Chikyuu Shoujo Arujuna wrote:
accuracy doesnt mean a thing if a sniper is good or not. a solid KDR and KPM indicates skill and nothing else. take Nyte as an example, he has a good accuracy but his KDR and KPM sucks --> 2.nd rate sniper

IMO dedicated snipers should play on maps where snipers are of use, period, in the same way that a guy who specialises in jets wouldn't go out of his way to play city maps.Towelly wrote:

I thought this is about sniping, and as you said my sniper rifle KPM is better then that of Nyte and I dont think I need to mention my KDR.Todd_Angelo wrote:
