Just a question: Why do some ppl prefer close quarters and some open land. I prefer open land esp. wake b/c i have a chance of running away:p. Neway, I wanna know why ppl like playing on the maps that they do. Not only snipers, though snipers have more of a reason i guess.
Wake, just because of the wide open land, less places for infantry to hide, oh and killing people who drive boats just before the hit the shore xD
Maybe because their draw distance isn't too flash and they can't see far enough to shoot someone - except on smaller maps.
Or maybe its because of the lag, finding it impossible to hit anyone at a far distance.
Or maybe its because people on small maps tend to run in straight lines, making it easy to find easy targets.

yeh, most small maps you can usually have rooftops with 1, 2 or 3 outposts viewable from 1 position, also usually alot more ppl in 1 area makes good hunting.
city maps, because
1. no J-10s raping
2. easy to find targets
3. more exctiting because normal infantry can easily kill you (theyre usually too far away in maps like wake)

i don't really have a preference as both have advantages and disadvantages as tahadar mentioned.
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.
Warlord is a perfect example of one of my, if not favourite maps. Its not wide open like Wake, yet is confined enough to get some decent close quarters fighting going on.
Guess I prefer smaller, city type maps as I dont have to travel as far to get to anyone or to the action.

I must say that I like both. I think the biggest difference I can see between long vs. close range is whether I'm feeling more like going lone wolf vs. squad-based teamwork. Also, longer ranges tend to be safer (AND more techinical), while shorter ranges tend to be more dangerous (and exciting!), IMO.
So, in the end, I think it's more based upon the mood I'm in.

I like snipering in karkand just coz its fun even tought u have a no advanage really but its still challanging
Wake has its merits for sniping. A lot of long range shots are a lot of fun, and the bushes give some nice cover. But I personally prefer urban maps, especially Warlord as previously mentioned, for sniping. Mainly because I prefer fast action to camping as a sniper. Wake is a bad motha-SHUT YO MOUTH when it comes to having to reposition yourself, and too often once you get to some action, it leaves and ends up entirely on the other side of the island.
Warlord to me is perfect because you can get to a lot of unconventional places, like the window ledges etc, whereas normal BF2 maps restrain you to predictable positions to snipe from. A veteran player of Karkand knows all the spots that snipers tend to be, and it's very hard to stay put and not get shot. Besides that, with the zipline, you can move to action faster than in standard BF2 if the fight goes somewhere else.
I find claymores far more effective in alleyways as well. But the crown and glory of being a sniper on Warlord as opposed to nearly any other map, is that the threat from armor pieces is 200% easier to manage. You can move to unpredictable places quickly until they lose interest, and there are a lot of ways to create angles between yourself and enemy armor that make you a very difficult target for anything other than another sniper or very talented player with an assault rifle.

Kubra Dam and Dragon Valley FTW.
i like sharqi becuase it offers the mnost hiding spots. wake i just cant stand.
Yeah man, mashtuur is the best i think because i know most of the spots and also it makes for a fast paced game on the city maps.tahadar wrote:
