I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and guess that round, was pre 1.2, you chopper whored on a 300 ticket round, and that -10 TW u got was tking for the heli. just a theory but one i consider likely

LOL but a damn good guess, Small changes to it tho, yes pre 1.2, -10 was self defence, The banzai dude (relatives of mine btw) who ya can see on our team was sent over to take the chopper to stop us owning them. Self defense damit!! :p We didnt have the chopper for first 5/10 mins of round, hence the deaths. So in short, a damn nice game

But im not using it as an "I own" screenshot, Just an example to a n00b who thinks 11 kills a map is something to tell folks about and 30 is cheating. lol

I should be a detective or summin lol, either way i cant let the "snipers suck" comments stand 15 - 25 is an "average" sniping game for myself. less than that I get annoyed. Ive layed off on sniping just lately, mainly coz i have next to no time on another kit lol. before you all look confused coz ur checked my stats this is my spare account coz i got tired of ppl trying to shoot down arguments using ppls stat pages . i'll pm you it if anyones THAT interested (my sniper rifle stats r higher than Nyte's btw lol [go by rifle coz sniper as a class can be easily point whored just by gunning a chopper as a sniper] ) In the end stats r pretty irrelevant. Other than the WCR none of the awards and badges are hard to get, global score is usually just how long u've played for and SPM is only the tactics on how you play, rambo = high SPM, tactical = low SPM you need both to win a game, 32 blood craved psychopaths r going to get cut down quick, 32 skeaky bastards r going to take all day to get anywhere.

I have never played against a good sniper. Everyone picks that class because they want to be cool..a "leet sniper" so to speak. Yet round after round I get annoyed by constant sniper fire on me...all misses. So I have to stop what I'm doing, look at them, and put 2 shots into their head with my PKM and move on. So what are your experiences with opposing snipers?

Well real sniper should help his team one way or other, ingame sniper should do following try and sniper pilots and Sneef out comander take him out, I spend most of my game relocating when I'm a sniper I might not get High kills, but i will do the following Take out jet, Chopper pilots and if i see guy layn down or standing Imguessing his a comander and I will take him out no jets in sky no Arty on your Team m8 so you see if you a sniper you are vitol to your time if you play it right :-) Peace Boris

mmm yet your death a round is double mine, go figure.

and If I play commander , in a tank as a sniper, mine would be 100 times yours in 4 days, rofl. You see why your account @ 4000 points is useless as a comparison?

its not hidden if you use you brain, i started this account becuase i needed 1to1 infront of my name.
and global score = nothing more than time played so stop trying to make it more than it is.

Ahem, bullshit , someone took the nick and you had to make a new account. Why didnt you just use the add tag section If all you needed was the prefix?

who told you.

It didnt take much working out.

woh there cowboy dont thank me to soon, as if you read it again maybe 5 or 6 times you might realise i never called you a cheat

Mabey I missed something?

lol yeh ok, go find me a player with stats of 30 kills per round that isnt a padder.
stop posting crap.

I ave 30 kills a map on city maps @ least. If I started a new account tomorrow, Thats what the average would be. So k and thanks

omg thats the longest post iv ever seen that actually didnt make a single point.

firstly 1to1the heart attack sounds quite gay

and yes you missed somthing, pretty much everything i said, and especially the bit i told you to read more carefully.

and you think you could get a kill per round stat of 30? once again stop posting crap. and ill say it again
this time ill slow it down for you.

go find me a player with a kill per round STAT notice i said stat not "screenshot of one round" of 30 that isnt a padder.
meaning no one out there has that kind of STAT AVERAGE legitimatly.

no what that means is when you look at you STATS page next to average kills per round it says 30, not in a round once, an average.

now please dont post here again unless your going to stop owning yourself, i almost feel bad for you.

hey Heart havent seen you or sniper for a bit in internode but -fe.lep- you havent seen me and my pals play sniper we can cap out Sharqi Pen fairly easily as for it being a useless class mate only because it requires skill and intelligence i would invite you to join us one round but the fact your in irelend makes it hard but i can tell you to look up Books and Sinn Fien  and ask them about snipers.

Heres SinnFiens acount: http://bf2s.com/player/46218418/


Oh Yeah b4 you bitch about my stats and say i shouldnt comment yeah my stats are fairly average to below average but i dont care i play for a laugh so dont waste your time comparing mine ok

BUT on average a rambo team, Will be a lot more effective than an average sniper team by a long way. Team of me's vs a team of the_heart_attacks , Who's going to win? I think the term is lockout :p

I said tactical play not just snipers , its all a part of winning the round, how many teams you seen get put toally off baclance coz 3 random guys went trecking off round the entire perimeter of a map to cap the back base, then seen half the defending team split in 2 to counter it, only to promptly get crushed coz the main fight is now 13 v 8 with the other 8 running like a bunch of headless chickens to the opposite end of the map. comment i made related only to SPM nothing attached to anyone class simply style of play.

I have had entire squads sent after me and I am no sniper god.

I'm no sniper god either and I've had 6 enemy soldiers come after me at one time. Though if this happens means I've been in one spot way too long. Luckily I had claymores in place that helped better the odds, and again luckily I had UAV on my side to know that they were even coming. In this instance I survived the rest with by using my trusty pistol that pwns most at close range.

I'll take anybody in these forums on as a sniper.  You can even play whatever kit you like.  I'm that confident in my sniper abilities.


And yes, it is an open invitation to anyone.

wow your a confident bugger arent you, your sniper rifle kills are same as mine but in double the time and half the k/d ratio.

what makes you so sure your so good?

Snipers are best used for covering taken flags, covering flags being taken, or supressing enemy flags. All from a distance. Otherwise, if you use the claymore offensively, rather than just surround your camping spot with them, you'll be getting massive kills.

Sniper are a useless class. 90% of the tiime they die more than they kill they never help the team except the odd time when they defend a flag. usely the team with the most snipers will not win. And if you notice the guys that are sniper are once again 90% noobies with low ranks. I do thank EA for putting the useless class in though without it I would never got my Expert knife  Expert C4 bagdes and soon expert pistal . Sniper's are the number one eazy target in battlefield and with maybe 20 to 25 guys in all of BF2 that are even good enough to play that class. I say long live the sniper has long has there on the other team it is almost like stat padding how eazy it is to kill them.

Plus how many time have you guys killed a sniper and then the dumb SOB goes right back the the same spot you just killed him.  Did I tell you how much I love my knife badge. Sniper are like crack just don't do it

I think you are wrong. Since I decided to exclusivly play as a sniper about a month ago I regularly rank in the top 5 of my team when the round ends. This includes kill and assist. My stats show a constantly rising KD ratio. I started the game not knowing the tricks of the trade and my stats sucked. now I average 3:1 KD and over 15 kills/round. Killing and not dying greatly helps swing tickets our side. You have 30 kills and 25 death you have only created a 5 ticket delta. On my part I kill 15 and die 5 I created a 10 ticket delta. That brings more WINS.

In your case your stats are good so this does not apply but generaly I think its right.

That actually goes to show you who the better sniper is. 

Being a sniper is a strange entity in itself as it is the only kit that is best used when not trying to get points.  By that I mean, GOOD snipers don't jump into tanks, choppers and planes.  GOOD snipers spend half the game stalking someone or getting into a prime firing spot which is of strategic importance.  Most people don't understand this.  It is one thing to snipe an airfield, but it is another thing to snipe your own base and keep the enemy from taking it.

My kills are lower and time is higher because I have patience.  I don't switch to sniper between classes, I choose a round to do nothing but sniper and I stick with the kit no matter what.  That sometimes means having extremly slow rounds, and sometimes, extremly fast rounds.  Mostly slow RELAXING rounds.  But rest assured, if I see you first (and I probably will) you will take a bullet in the teeth.

I am confident.  I know I am confident, because with most other aspects of the game, I not only just "got a feel" for the weapon, kit or vehicle, I try to learn the dynamics and the inner workings of each and utilize each kit, weapon and vehicle's special and, not as well known, ability's.  In the case of sniping, I have it down to a fine art. 

I have actually spent the time to figure out how much:

Bullet drop there is at certain distances
How long the bullet travel time is to certain distances
How fast my reload time is as opposed to thier reload time
Which elevation marks to use at certain distances
And last but not least, out of sight sniping.

Out of sight sniping is a secret of mine, so we will not discuss that here.

But yeah, anytime you feel froggy, just jump.
