I usually like to aim about the line where the hat meets the forehead.  Does a decent job of killing them.

I usually like to aim at the booger in the left nostril. Does a decent job of killing them.

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to zoom in with the Scope on the sniper rifle?  If so could you tell me how to do this.

It is not possible in BF2.

Ever try to make a head shot and see your targets helmet fly off with the first hit?

IS THAT POSSIBLE IN HIGH QUALITY SETTINGS? OMFG THAT WOULD BE COOOOOOL

Where exactly is the one shot one kill zone? I have aimed at heads before and shoot tand then they either get wounded or it doesent hit them at all...I have heard that the upper chest is a one shot zone is that true?

Well it's definitely the entire head, not sure about the neck or upper torso. If you were using a sniper rifle they should have died. If you were using another gun - one or two of the assault rifles, SMG, pistol - then it's not a guaranteed one-shot kill apparently (worth confirming this).

Aside from that, I love it when they're all lined up on top of something like the TV tower and I can knock 'em down like skittles.

...rinse, repeat. I just love sniper-to-sniper duels to and from the tower. Need to work on my bullet-drop skills and the silhouettes make this a great map to practice on.


My favourite headshot recently was hiding under the train well back from Train Accident on Karkand, watching a tank roll by as the USMC tried to bottle us up, and lining up a perfect shot to the helmet for the cuppola gunner. I hate it when that happens to me... but it's not quite as frustrating as being killed by a single shot when manning the gun in the Vodnik

i usually one-shot people, when they're prone aand facing my direction. hard to miss the head . other than that, i suceed in head-shotting US soldiers in buggys from time to time, i love those moments that buggy is moving at high speed OFC

and i have a good experience with the train in karkand as well i was in the train in shadows and was shooting the down like rabbits

I wish after a shot is made you didn't look away from the scope, just wait 4 seconds and new round loaded. I trained with a winchester model 70 and keeping your eyes focused after the shot is very important, keeps the ones that lived from sneeking up on you and a quicker draw on shot two for his friend.

psst..  Hold the button down.
