Park or Morretti, almost never use the Lambert. I only use the Zeller-H when I'm bored.

Enough with the 'nub' shit when it comes to using guns, either use it or don't.
^ Agreed 100%.

If you can't use it, don't blame the gun.

in some situations, the Zeller -H Advanced Sniper rifle is a one shot kill. and no i am not talking about a heatshot.

I have close to a 6 to 1 kill death ration with the zeller and the lambert carbine. i can use either weapon equally well.

the zeller H - Advanced Sniper rifle. People say that the rifle sucks ass. in certain areas it does.

first its only 3 sniper rounds per clip. you get 10 clips so thats 30 rounds. then that annoying red tint in the scope while you zoom really gets on my nerves sometimes. especially in belgade map.

im going to give you the facts straight people. The zeller does 90-100 points of damage in one shot. the base rifles like the moretti SR-4 and the Park 52 sniper rifle do abou 75 points of damage per round.  You get an extrodinary amount of kill power per shot with the zeller. the zeller may not always kill with one shot . especially body shots.  but having you health at 100 percent down to 10 percent is a very scary feeling. 

you get more damage per bullet than your base rifles.

the Zeller H sniper rifle is a thing of beauty, i have over a 60% accuracy with the rifle. and i am a warrant officer silver. 

people say " OMG this rifle has 3 rounds per clip, this sucks" Well a 45. ACP pistol has 12 rounds and a magnum has around six to eight. whether in real life or in a video game, less rounds in a clip, nine times out of 10 means more stopping power. If the zeller H AVR did the same amount of damage as a park 52 or a moretti SR4, then having a 3 round clip is a big ass handicap and a terrible waste of an Unlock point spent.

Lets say the zeller H does the same 90-100 points of damage and carries 8 rounds per clip, Man talk about overkill. then everyone will be a recon and run around with a zeller. just like in Bf2 everone is a medic running around with a G36E.

the Zeller does 90-100 points of damage..... whats the bigger number people?.....75 or 90..

most of the time you have to settle for a body shot, the zeller H AVR has a higher chance to kill someone with a chest shot than a moretti or a Park-52. i do it all the time. i dont always get one shot one kill when i shoot someone at the chest or leg.

people dont complain much about the Baur Heavy assault rifle that does 34-36 pointss of damage per round and each clip only carries 20 rounds, very similar to the G3 assault rifle of Battlefield 2.


people will still moan and groan becuase its only 3 rounds per clip... People start learning how to shoot and stop this " spray and pray " nonsense. 3 rounds do alot for you and your stats if you learn how to keep your cool and have that steady hand. you dont have to shoot at anything that moves. in fact people who do are not good snipers/ recon players. you have to use good judgement on your behalf in picking your targets. if your target is moving all over the place and crouching and ducking all the time..... WAIT patiently. let him move all he wants, then when he is not moving becuase he think he is safe.....BANG, hes dead.


BTW i got 7 Infiltrator pins with the zeller in One round.

For some reason I only snipe when I play PAC and thus I've got a pretty good K/D-ratio with the Park.
Can't access my stats here from work but I believe it's 30+ and with a 57% accuracy.

The Zeller sounds really nice but I never use it unless a nice sniper picks up my assualt kit to revive me.

The Lambert, well, I've got to admit thar it isn't my cup of tea.
I find it rather weak when used over a distance (decent assault player vs recon with Lambert should mean victory for the assault player) but it's certainly nice when you're up close and personal and therefore I only use it when I choose to play recon on the Titan.

Sniper does not help the team much...Lambert is always the best chose, unless you want that Infiltrator Pin

i rarely use recon for sniping. i'm not much of a sniper, and prefer to use recon as spec ops.

Seriously less than like 10% of people uncheck the body armour box.

So if you don't want to get one shot killed then start wearing armour like everyone else does.

Anyway,I Lambert it because i can take on most enemies with it.Apart from Snipers at distance or close experianced shotgun users.

I rarely play recon, but when I do I snipe. The Lambert is a nice weapon, but you can't really expect to go toe-to-toe with all the assault and support players running around. The kit has nothing that really helps it in medium range infantry combat. So if you prefer the spec ops role, you're going to die a lot. That said, you are a Mech's worst enemy in crowded infantry maps.

I use spec ops alot lately as I love the Lambert, Invisibility and the knife.

Titan consoles have been destroyed many times by me, even with a shit load of people defending them as of my invisibility.

The lambert also seems to keep accuracy in longer bursts.

When I first played the game I only sniped, and I loved it, but after a while I got bored of always staying out of the real action, so lately I have been getting more stuck in. And I love it.

Zeller-H works very well in my opinion. I think I can take the 3-bullet per clip because I always go for the headshot. The Park-52 seems quite out of place, looks like a mini-Pilum in my opinion. Haven't used the Moretti much since I took out the Zeller!

I hate the Lambert, which is why it's the only thing in Recon I haven't unlocked. I find its power, reliability, accuracy and long-distance are poor. It's great for a Titan Assault or Defend, but nothing else.

I'm nothing compared to Shem, but finding a great spot with any sniper makes me get all the distinguished combat efficiency pins and you don't. In the screenshot where my score is 17, I was commanding hence the lower score than my amount of kills:

Sniping is great. Although now that expert was too damn easy to earn, I've moved on to support.

Used to love lambert, for assault titan, but got quite badly fucked up by Krylov users. For that reason, i now just take along the good old Clark instead.

Any stock rifle + C7 + Active Camo.

Stabilizers are for losers, and the Zeller sucks unless you're in the titan where most people are already hurtin, and everyone can hear you anyway.

Ill recon with the zeller H Advanced sniper rifle anyday over the lambert.. the lambert is only good if i can get close to my enemy or engage them in a medium range.. at long range, lambert is not going to do me much justice.

another thing i like about lambert: INSANE RATE OF FIRE that you find yourself 9 times out of 10 with an empty clip.

zeller: Yeah that 3 round clip kinda pisses me off at times. but i can get one shot kills without a head shot with the zeller.  i have close to a 6 to 1 K/D ratio and a 60% accuracy with this bad boy.  Preety good for a newbie like myself. i am a warrant officer gold.

me personally when it comes to 2142, i rather just stay back and pick off people from a distance. i dont like how the run and gun part of 2142 was done. too much "spray and pray" crap, assault rifles even at cclose to medium range are too inaccurate even with bust shots.

Do you actually play this game much? Krylov keeps accuracy quite well, the Voss appears to be gifted with the abilty to randomly kill people in 1-2 shots, and the Baur is about as accurate as a Sniper Rifle on single shot.

i do play the game when i am not busy with school dude? ill tell you this, the weapons in Bf2 are a lot more accurate than the ones in 2142. go to any forum that really critiques 2142, they willl tell you the same thing that i said: sometimes they are accurate, most of the time they are not accurate.

every battle: i bring a zeller, a it-33 active cameo, grub 5 stabilizer. that recipe there is enough for me to get at least 3 infiltrator pins. i basically snipe under peoples noses...lol

i have been shot by someone with a zeller, and got killed with a single , non head shot. sometimes i survive. but trust me my friend, having your health go from 100 to 10 percent by a zeller is a very scary feeling.

many people complain about that 3 round clip and that nasty red tint on the scope. i agree completely with those facts in mind to a certain point. but i say to those people who bash the zeller H advanced sniper rifle: 3 round clip instead of an 8 round clip is a very small price to pay for a sniper rifle that does 90-100 points of damage in one shot.
