BF2S Forums Sniper Competition?

I think someone here should differentiate between the two types of snipers:
- Passive Sniper (Stays in the back and snipes, has excellent KDR, low Teamwork).  Usually ends up with very little deaths due to the hidden nature of their position.
- Aggressive Sniper (Stays in the front and snipes, has good KDR, high Teamwork).  Usually ends up with a higher than Assault/Support number of kills but higher amount of deaths due to being in the front line.

I on one hand, belong in the latter group (For information sake, I HAVE tried passive sniping but I got bored too quickly).

dude.
I just watched your last video.
You are insane.
One question.  Do you ever have to lead:
foot soldiers?
moving helo pilots (near top speed)?
FAV drivers (top speed)?

Infact tahadar where do you play? I need to see what the best do on an average round (and looking at your stats - damn kiddo ur up there).
Kooda

hehe thanks

i usually play on the [PTG] City maps server, IP: 85.236.101.45:16667

you can also find Chikyuushoujoarujuna there, hes ranked 2nd with the sniper rifles i think

im more of a passive sniper, so you wont see a crazy number of kills in my typical round!

well,  i do quite a bit of both. Im pretty all around, i have a habit of playing agressive, deciding that i die too much, and then drop back for some kills.....but one thing i do have to say for myself, i can't remember the last time that another sniper and i saw eachother and i lost. Im definitely not the best out there, mostly for positional purposes ( i suck at hiding, moving locations, and general awareness), as far as taking shots, and timing the trigger, i think im good enough. Certainly better than Nyte, gimme a break dude, your not that good. You take wayyyyy too long in scope, your accuracy is good, but almost every shot in your videos are medium/ close range, you make sniping look like a joke, i'll put together a video tonight when i get home, and show you how shots are supposed to be taken, with several 300+ meter shots that are actually challenging. Im not gonna go around saying im the best or i would win any competition, but nyte, your a joke and make respectable snipers like most of us posting on these topics. Do us a favor and keep your ego to yourself, no one cares about your mediocre shots....

Any map is good enough.  It's time to put the reflexes to a little use for once.

I lead shot foot soldiers all the time, farthest was a 417 meter lead with 1 missed shot on Dragon Valley.

Moving Helo pilots near top speed no.  But slow moving help pilots yes. (Hovering and taking off copters don't count).
FAV drivers at top speed, almost 100% hit rate if they are driving to/away from me, about a 50% hit rate if they drive left/right of me.  With Buggys, I can't hit them if they drive away due to the engine in the back blocking my view.  HUMVEES I can hit driving away because the head is exposed when driving away. Vodniks no because heads are not exposed when driving away.  NJ2046 is same as HUMVEE but a little more difficult because of all the metal bars blocking my view.  Tank gunners I can hit at full speed easily moving side to side.

The only difficulty I can think I have is using an L96A1, the accuracy on that is horrendous and the bullet drop is disgustingly bad as well as damage.

funny you say that. i guess we have our own preferences. im gonna start using the M95 solely for helicopter and vehicle hunting soon..im getting a bit bored of normal sniping nowadays.

er..when i hover my mouse over my sniper rifle kills it says 58%...are you sure you looked at the right thing?

Number of kills with a sniper rifle >>12,775
Divided by Number of kills as a sniper >>17,545

Equals >> .7281276

So.. Pretty average then.... If the thing is driving directly towards/away from you it might as well be a stationary target... lol...

?? stationary? top speed fav? pretty average? I too take great pride in these shots as does nyte. I assure you, even a relatively straight driver dosn't make the shot avg by any means. A headshot with the back of the seat covering 90% of the body, if he's flyin away from you is quite tricky a times.

Although, I thought I was one of the better 200m+ full speed fav driver/gunner headshotters out there. I, unfortunately dont have Nyte's sucess rate, a headshot on a driver/gunner, i may hover ~ 40% success rate. I did however get the 'holy grail/hole-in-one on a par 4'  one sunny day in Kubra with Books, best shot I ever made:)

*edit* Are you meaning just hitting it? getting a shot hit indicator? if that's the case, lol, I dont care if it's jumpin', swerving, braking, uphill or upside down I'm probably 9/10 for just a hit. This must be the first publically cocky/ego related thing I've ever said about meself:) roflcopter, feels good but tacky at the same time:)

I am with you! I caught myself lokking at a crane the other day and trying to find the sniper in it! The building under constroction looks so much like the Gulf of Oman one! Instead of soldiers it was construction workers. Whre is my L96A1?
