Yes please i would like some tips because every time i play as a sniper i don't do particularily well.
I lay my claymores in positions to stop the enemy but i suck with actually aiming the gun. I'm good with aiming when people are standing still but when they're movin i'm not too great

Yeah, I could definitely use some help. This should help with other weapons too. My shooting sucks terrible, because I have always any weapon as an extension of my arm and hand. No such feedback online.

Okay first suchi, laying claymores is one of the key parts to sniping especially when your last flag is the airfield. Also as your job as a sniper try to get into a habit of spotting everything/everybody you see before you attempt to shoot them so if you miss your team knows it's there. But most of all i would just practice find a round that there are a lot of snipers playing and most likely you will have success!

vtrucker,
I don't understand what you mean when you say the gun is a extension of your arm. If you have some special plug-in thing and it isn't working out for you i would try using the mouse...

For sniping a mouse tends to be better in my opinion... Cool

I meant in real life. One of my past duties was as a sharp-shooter. Shooting any weapon provides feed-back that is absent on a computer.

Just like in real life, there is what is called "bullet drop" when you are taking a long distance shot, gravity is going to pull the bullet down from the point that you aimed vs the point of impact. If you want to hit a small target at long range then you will have to shoot high and adjust for the drop. Also when a target is moving from left to right, you have to lead the target and let them run into your bullet, it is the same thing when you shoot ahead of a moving choopper to let them run into your machine gun bullets from a vehicle. it will take some practice to get use to how much over the target and how far ahead you need to lead to get the hits you are wanting.

Hope this helps,




E

Really? I didn't know you had to compensate for bullet drop on anything except the tank rounds. Of course that may help explain why I am a terrible sniper. My biggest issue has always been trying to shoot someone at any significant distance and trying to get the sight on them. If their head is like 4 pixels wide I have had a helluva time trying to line that up and they almost always get me first. Partly this is to blame on my preference to have the mouse acceleration fairly high. However I may now have a solution in my new mouse - I can adjust how many pixels it reads on the fly from 5700 ppi (makes mouse move across screen very quickly) down to 200ppi which should make stopping the cursor on a particular point without going too far a little easier.
Can you adjust the "field of view" for the sniper zoom? I know that in some games you can change it in the configs.
