I capture flags (or defend them), so the distances are always varying.  I do love getting the long distance shots (300m+), depending upon the map (and rifle), but I've gotta say that most of my shots range between 10-200m.

All that aside, I still enjoy mixing it up in fierce firefights, despite the opposition almost always having machine guns.

Depends on how far you are, And how far your enemy is. I am usally shooting people over 400+m.

I remember BHD days, When I was shooting people over 1+Kil.

I prefer about 100m but I can't exactly ask my intended victim to come a bit closer or take a few steps back so wherever i end up at. I'm also pretty good at close range "scoped" sniping (can't hit shit without the scope at any distance ).....at least i think so.

But I try to cap flags so that's what I voted for.

How do you find out the distance?

My longest shot was around 521 meters.  But I usually snipe from around 250-450 meters.

LOL +1 even though you don't need it

I would say i normally snipe between 100m to about 320m.
I tend to have my pistol out if i am under 75m make for faster pistol whipping.

If i am using the m95 i tend to shoot at a shorter range than the L96A1.

Turn on flags, and if there is one near the guy you're aiming at, estimate the distance.

Or just be Squad Leader and place a marker (Attack, Move, Destroy, etc.) on the guy and it'll show you the distance.

Usually between 1-150m. But I usually try and cap flags, especially if I can't spot out any enemies at the flag I'm scoping out.

But I still have the uncanny ability to always sense a flag with a full squad near it. Then I somehow automatically run to it. Magnetism perhaps. They get a huge positive score from me running there a lot while I get a negative score.

There all full of crap... or have no idea how to judge distance.

Me... 0-150 metres, maybe further (but rarely) on clear maps. Shit graphics + lagg + shit mouse + shit hitbox detection + very few people standing still for more then half a second makes long range snipping almost imposable for me. (I'm also yet to be killed by anyone from 'long' range.)

Heres some pics of about how far I snipe. In the process I managed to get expert pistol

Yeah how do you know how long your shot was? Or do you compare it to the distances on the flags?

i hit a guy out of a jeep from over 500m, from the hill next to the airfield flag to north village, but it was just complete blind luck.  If only i didn't sell my old PC with my screen shot of it, i would show it to you.  But on average I snipe close, 1+meters.

10-280 meters at a guess...u need to aim above the targets head to get the kill when aiming to enemy whos over 200 otherwise you hit torso because of bullet drop

Its difficult to get long range kills and be useful for your team at the same time. A kill while standing over a flag is worth about 20 kills from the middle of nowhere. Plus long range kills are just too revivable. You are depending on the other team failing miserably at teamwork. But landing those long shots can be fun. If i am medic, sniper, or support, I will just shoot at anything I see beyond 200 m. If you are moving the whole time and using cover (and you are aware of who can shoot at you), you get all these wtf-across-the-map kills on people camped out playing "sniper."

Hmm... Interesting...

There aren't many maps that you can see out to 450 meters (heck, even on Wake).  The thing is that most encounters, on most maps, are much closer range (50-200 meters).  I've got a fair share of 350 meter kills on Wake, and a few 400 meter kills on that map, but such shots are often out of personal achievement, rather than actual match play.

Unless, of course, I'm stuck on arty island, or the other team is.

I'm not surprised.  I've yet to be killed at that range, and have only made about 50-100 kills at that range (and a number of those were two hit kills).

That kind of skill is a rare thing, and is not likely going to happen often enough to notice.

LOL.  With the amount of time that you have on Wake?  Very possible.  But don't get too confident, I've put a fair share of my own long distance kills in my time as a sniper. 

Actually, I've tried to play with a bunch of the "Wookie" snipers to test my skill (and THEIRS!!!  Hehehe), but sadly, most of them are in Europe, and I always get booted for high ping before I get a chance to load/spawn in.
