i wrote in a thread in which i promised that i would write about the zeller H Advanced sniper rifle.

i have close to a 62% accuracy with the zeller and around 6 k/d ratio with it. pretty good for a first Lt silver dont ya think

many people bash the zeller becuase of three things

1) it is too damn loud
2) 3 rounds per clip really sucks especially when you see 5-6 baddies in front of you
3) that stupid red tint in the scope

the addendum part of this thread will tell you one big significance to the zeller that very few people realize.

here are three reasons why people should use the zeller a little bit more.

1) IT IS ARGURABLY THE MOST POWERFUL SNIPER RIFLE IN BATTLEFIELD 2142: and yes it is  one shot can take out 90-100 points of your health in a single blast. AND YES  this thing can do one shot kills to the chest. i have seen it and i have done it. it does not always happen but believe me. i killed soldiers with full health with the zeller.  your moretti sr4 and the park 52 do only 70-75 points of damage. you do the math

2) IT IS THE BEST SNIPER RIFLE FOR LONG AND EXTREMELY LONG RANGE: sometimes you cant get that million dollar head shot from an extreme distance. you are more likely to kill someone with a chest shot with the zeller than with the moretti or park.

3) ADDENDUM. : THE ZELLER H ASR IS THE PERFECT DEEP INFILTRATION WEAPON FOR RECON SNIPERS.  So why do i say this you might ask? the best way to detect a sniper is not sight but sound. if you know where the sniper is just by sound, then you are one step closer to detecting and neutralizing him.  Howerver if you listen carefully, the moretti and the park 52 sniper rifles have different sounds when they are fired. the moretti makes a regular boom, the park sounds like a silenced sniper rifle and the zeller, well has a big ass bang.

here is my point my friends, both teams whether you are PAC or European Union will have at least 3-4 snipers with zellers on hand. lets say, i am a EU and i have a moretti Sr4, and i sneek in close to your main base or flag and start poping people left and right. remember my concept of sound, the moretti and park have distinct sounds. so if i fire a moretti near an enemy soldier or near one of their flags , 95% of the time its an EU recon soldier blasting PAC dudes. and there is a 95% chance that the EU recon dude will get killed. in other words, just by listining for sniper rifle rounds going off, one can tell the general direction and type of soldier ( EU OR PAC) that is in the vacinity.

here is where the zeller H ASR comes in to play. remember when i said that the zeller can be used by anyone whether its a PAC or EU soldier assuming you unlocked it or got one from a dead body.  Lets say that you dont see a sniper at all and all of the sudden you hear the zeller H being fired. since both sides can use the rifle, now it is a 50 /50 or 50% chance that the particular soldier is in your team and a 50% chance that soldier is your enemy. a professional sniper makes damn sure he is not visually spotted at all. so sound is the final line of defense and a butt load of zellers going off makes it nearly impossible to figure out who is in your team and who is not. of course if you see an enemy sniper with a zeller, you dont need sound to find him.. you saw him already.. now go trash the dude with rockets.

one thing that people do , is sneak inside a enemy capture point , remain hidden with the zeller and blast a few heads.  that is what i call " Sniping under people's noses". basically you snipe within their base. too many noobs look for snipers outside their base when there is that possibility of a sniper shooting you from behind, and he is only 50 m from you.  the chances of you being detected with a zeller via this particular tactic is 30-50%.

Now lets say i do the same thing, and you are in the PAC and i am in a EU.. i go within your base with a moretti and cap some people.. what are the chances of you being detected ---- 97% just by sound. why, the moretti has a distinct sound like i said previously. people dont pay attention much to a zeller H going off..


How to use the zeller H ASR effectively: here are several key points that i always do that will help you greatly?
1) YOUR AIM MUST BE ALMOST PERFECT:  3 rounds per clip does not leave you with a lot of room for error. never put the bullseye at the target, always put it on where you believe he will be next in position, thats the key secret to marksmanship, is to know where the target will be 5 seconds or 20 seconds from now.
2) the zeller is designed for " sure kills" not a huge body count.  there are times where you cant get that infiltrator pin becuase your target wiggles like a worm.  it is best to settle for a body shot and get the Kill death assist, rather than that fool discovering you or your teammate and capping you.
3) you must decide which target to shoot first? this is the idea of good common sense . please dont shoot the sniper that is not looking at you when someone at a distance is trying to hose you down with the Ganz.
4) you will be taking less shots, but more accurate ones: it does not do you any good when you are a sniper and you cant hit the broadside of a barn.
5) ACCURACY is directly proportional to the number of kills you have. its that simple, how can you go from 9 kills per round to 15 kills per round when you miss simple head shots where the target is just eating gummy bears all day long .

Well it´s very well known that the Zeller does kill with one shot in the chest, arm or legs... on a guy that does´nt wear body armor but since 99% ( hell probably more ) of the players wear it it does´nt matter.

I still think Morreti/Park is superior nice that you post anyway.

It all depends on the size of the server you are in!  In a 64 player server, you can't hear anything.  Just too many guns, grenades, walkers, apcs etc etc etc.  So in a 64 player server, any sniper rifles sound is masked!  Go ahead an play whatever you like!
