Hello all,

I'm new to BF2 and BF2s but I've been playing alot to get my hours in and experience up.  I specialize in the Sniper Class.  I thought I'd take the plunge and give a successful tactic I've used for Kills & Kill Assist.  You can check my time as a Sniper as well as my kills but probably the most important is the Kill Assists stat for what I'm writting about.


I'm not the best sniper and make no claims but I do well in capturing flags solo and dropping the enemy from great distances.  I like shooting at the enemy while they are having a fire fight with my other team mates because if they were hit at all during this time one bullet from me will kill them no matter what body part I hit and if not then it will at least take them down to two bars of health which means the next bullet from any team mate finishes them off.  You can check my Kill Assists stat.  I may not be the best in the hours I've put in but again it's not too bad.

You can get alot of Kills and Kill Assists aiding your group in a heavy fire fight at a Flag point since these are where we mostly have the big encounters...the enemy doesn't have time to figure out where that sniper shot that reduced their health to two came from as your other team mates are within 10 feet and trying to shoot them.  If you shoot someone who's by himself his new agenda is finding you.  If you shoot someone in a shoot out then he has a choice of running and praying not to get shot in the back or dieing in a few seconds from your second shot or a team mates bullet from close range.

Maybe you know this already or maybe this helps out fellow sharp shooters.  Either way I'd appreciate Karma points for trying to help out.  I'm new to BF2s and would like the support.

Pretty much what you state is common knowledge my new friend. But thanks for posting it anyways. I hope you find BF2s as helpful in other ways too, I like the player guides that people post, they do help.

Cool.  I'm going to go for posting videos that might be enlightning.  It's always good to see someone on a good run and how they pulled these tactics off.  I just need to figure out how to do the full video editing etc.

There is plenty of posts about video editing here....Do a search and you will find what you need. You should have Movie maker or some other software on your computer already.

Be warned though. There are already TONS of sniper videos out there and most people are pretty over them. Unless your doing something damn amazing you will probably get some good flaming.

I'll assume by the post you use the M95 alot.  not my favorite but to each their own.

Check out the First medic unlock and the AK101, those can be considered mid-range automatic sniper rifles in away


I only use the M95 if I want to try and shoot ppl out of cockpits or buggies / not to mention increase my pistol kills as each hit bring them down to 2 bars. Other than that I use the default sniper rifles. USMC has a good 'stand-up and snipe' sniper rifle which is awesome. Automatic sniper rifles are my preferred sniper rifle.

Sometimes, especially on Ghosttown, I just sit up in the building and watch the mayhem through a sniper rifle. Doesn't reflect well on my points per minute but I'll play the game how I want.

here is another tip just-incase you didnt' know. After you fire a shot from a bolt action sniper rifle; Don't let go of the button. You will see if you hit or not thus can guage/adjust your gameplay accordingly.

Good luck in converting those kill assists into kills

Sarciss,

Welcome to the site. The first rule of karma is that asking for it is gay and will NOT get you any. Now, here's a list of existing sniper guides you may enjoy:

As a sniper you should always aim for the head, whats the point in going for the assist?

I'll try any shot, that's why i have 38acc with the sniper rifle. If you always go for the headshot, you'll get 2x as many points and a better feeling at the end of it.

Take the more challenging shots, your accuracy will decrease but it is awesome when you pull them off.

Sarciss sorry but i really dont like players like you. probably you are camping somewhere, waiting on that fights beetwen your team and their team and you shot them and leave them only 2 short lines of life. that is wanna be sniper. real snipers walking around the map and shooting people headshots. i usally get realy annoyed because i could kill their whole team, but no some wanna be sniper must shot me and leave me 2 uselles lines. tips : stop camping, start walking around the map, and shooting people headshots. easy. you will learn soon if you will try.

If you like sniping, I really recommend buy Special Forces, due to the "Warlord" map. You can get to pretty much any building on the whole map and snipe away! I'm never usually a sniper, but when I go on that map I kickass!

Well to those that had something constructive to say, thanks!  petrac your assumption is wrong.  I run around and take others full on.  When someone is in a CQC ( close quarters combat for those that need to know ) area and there's a firefight I can go the distance and do what I talked about.  Last night I played on Karkand, never "camped" and got 37 Kills and won my Expert Sniper Award for it.

-[Silver.Inc* thanks for being on the new guys side.

ShowMeTheMonkey: I have SF and will check that out.  I've played Ghost town and racked up over 30 kills with one or two deaths so I know what you're saying.

chittydog: Thanks for the advice and links.

JaggedPanther: I use the L96A1 95% of the time.  It does the same damage but has better accuracy.  The sacrifice is not being able to shoot through glass cockpits.  At least this is what other forum conversation has lead me to believe.

Peace

I made that transition as well roughly 7 months ago...I achieved all my goals with the kit: Top 3 in kit stats, 50% accuracy, and a 3+ k/d. To avoid monotony, I began going for the long, running, running uphill left to right, Fav moving etc. I 100% agree they're the 'feel good' shots of the game.

Lower against armoured classes, down to 40% rather than 2 bars. But half the deviation and the thinner crosshair makes it a better all-round choice IMO (although with SF you learn to love the M24 again, 'cause it's that or the M95 as far as bolt-actions go).

Silver i am much better with AK and M16 as you think. G36E its just my favourite. but for the great general ( like i was ) i must know how to use all guns very good. simple.

BTW : i dont understand this. i was called on public servers and forums with this names : payrac, payrec, peyroc, peyrot, petrac, pey, .... about 8 different names, insted the true one : Peyrac. is it so hard to write my name correctly ? or its just stupidity ?

To be honest I don't recall when I got Books 10x's, I quite positive I'm the only human to claim that:)

The Doctor, Death_to_Bunnies and I still play several times/week together, 20 hours/week we battle for the 29R Army in BF2C which is our unranked tourney.

I kinda retired from full-time scoping probably 7 months ago, now just what ever kit Books and I squad may need at the time.
