For all the passive snipers out there, I was mulling around on Operation Clean Sweep the other day and I inadvertently discovered (Not sure if I'm the first but I haven't seen anyone do this) a way to stay almost completely hidden.
It requires a HUMVEE transport vehicle and some good environmental knowledge. Either use or steal a HUMVEE and park it in an area where no one really cares about it.
Get out of th HUMVEE and jump into the back of it, prone and snipe from there (IE. Don't ENTER the vehicle, but prone inside the vehicle).
To make it look better, you can grenade the vehicle once to get it smoking so people don't approach it. Or you can just lay a claymore underneath the HUMVEE so if someone comes close they are toast.
Funny story, in fact, someone got into the HUMVEE and was driving around (I didn't die for some reason). He drove me all around the map until I took out a knife and killed him while he was driving (He didn't see that coming!).
Critique please.
UPDATE: I just remembered doing something else with this. Instead of sniping from the back, I turned the HUMVEE around and was sniping through the windshield (Although you lose alot of focus, you gain ALOT of invisibility).
Oh, I ended up 34-2 if that is of any consolation (No aggressive play though so deaths are obviously less).
