it seems hes rushing a little to much and not waiting for a good hit. also you can see if you hit them or not by holding left mouse down for a second after you shoot to stay zoomed in, if you see the little x you hit them.airborne916 wrote:

You might want to lead that target and don't make hasty shots like that guy. If a target is running lead him to allow for the bullet to intercept their path of movement.
Oh that's simple.
From that video it looks like the sniper is failing to lead shots. At that distance.. let's say you have someone running to the left... you're going to want to shoot on the leftmost edge of their body or just barely on the left side of them altogether. it takes a second for the bullet to get there and just having the crosshair on someone isn't going to give you a hit. just keep using the rifle and eventually you'll be able to judge where to put your bullets.

The dude in that video just simply missed every time he shot. It was visibly obvious. Plus you could see every time right before he pulled the trigger, he pulled way up. At that distance, there's no reason to aim way above the head. Put the crosshairs right on the dude, and click.
it aint Counter Strike
it seems like u raise ur gun when u shot.
Leading a target in BF2 is kinda difficult because it's really just a small distance to lead.
It's almost right on target,as if you anticipate the next step in your aimed direction.
But with practice headshots on running targets should be possible.
I could pull this off in BF1942,killing running targets with one shot,but at that time there was no global ranking or awards so I always played as a sniper in BF1942 and the complete gametime was spent on practicing how to shoot.
The sniping in BF2 is a littlebit different(or maybe that's just my feeling of it,I played Sniper Elite before buying BF2),leading targets and estimating bulletdrop takes practice but you'll eventually get the hang of it.
My problem with the sniping is not the long distance shots or the bulletdrop,it's that on mid to close range sometimes the bullet doesn't hit at all,although the crosshairs are right on target.There's no bullet-drop at close range(or just very,very little),I always take my time for the shot(like in Jarhead:fire,fire,fire...hit,3 times checking the aim before firing) and yet the shot misses.
This really bugs me because in all fps I've played I always used the sniper and was very accurate(1000m hits in Project IGI2) and now this crap happens.
