Thats right bitches, killed a squad leader at point blank range with a sniper rifle....i was like....bam bitch. More recently, popped an AT with pistol, medic revived, popped last 2 shots in rifle hit "3" and clicked the mouse and bang hes dead. But I got owned by the revived AT with DAO shot to the face.
my very first kill on bf2 was an unscoped sniper kill while running up stairs at tv on sharqi, i got a rude shock when i thought i could do it whenever i wanted for the ret of the round!
lol doesn't it feel great tho, i think i'll try to master the technique and be a totall cheap sniper.
easy, just figure out the center of your screen by using another gun. from there put a small piece of scotch tape over the middle with a little dot on it.
That sir is "dotting" and in some circles is considered cheating.Jeret03 wrote:

a freind of mine uses a program he made that runs in the background and puts a thin cross hair in middle of his screen. at first i thought it was probly going a bit far but when you think about it its not different to having a cross or dot drawn on the screen. he said its way better for using all the other guns out of scoped mode.Jeret03 wrote:

is x fire a hack? it displays the message thing onscreen during play while running in the background.SuB wrote:

maybe if it made the game display the x hair it could be called a hack.
Oh noes, now EA is sending inspectors around the world to check for the dreaded dot hack among faithful players, LoL.
Well, when i go no scope with any sniper rifle i can see that the bullets will not go straight, they fly to the right, or left, they dont seem to go straight out of the barrel. So therefor i cant really see a use for the small crosshair on a sniperrifle... cause the bullets dont go straight anyways.
Yes, as the above poster stated, you can dot your screen, put on virtual crosshairs, whatever and I don't care, because you'll only actually hit your target unscoped as much as the rest of us. Unlike CS, that will fire on the dot everytime, the sniper rifle is not accurate unscoped, and has massive deviation. To put it bluntly, even if that dot is in the middle of your screen, it's never going to shoot on that dot, or only by chance.
The sniper rifles all have a deviation of 5 when un-zoomed, which to put things in perspective is approximately 30 times less accurate than even an MP5 while standing. Here are some helpful screenshots that illustrate how wildly inaccurate they are:

M24, no scope, 5 shots, 3 m from wall (aimed at centre of screenshot)

SVD, no scope, 10 shots, 1 m from wall (aimed at centre of screenshot)--3 bullet holes are blocked by the SVD and/or the soldier's hand.
And all the Scotch tape in the middle of your screen won't fix that.

Seriously, if you actually hit anything with a sniper rifle while not zoomed in, it's pure luck. You're much better off running around with your handy pistol out.[QXJZ]Capt_Kefra wrote:
