I jsut wanted to practice some more sniping, so, which map from SF do you think it's the best to do that? And from Vanilla BF2?

thanks in advance...

city maps are usually good for sniping as u have cover and usually a good view (depends on where u are though)......Strike at karkand is my favourite for sniping

The best maps to snipe are in BF2: Sharqi Penisula Dragon Valley & Clean Sweep.
The best maps to snipe are in BF2-SP: Warlord, Ghost-Town, Night Fight, Surge & Devil's Perch.
Maybe are there better maps but this is mine opinion.

Any map that is infantry oriented instead of vehicle oriented is good for sniping.  I think that all SF maps are great except for Surge.  I have had the best luck sniping on Warlord and Night Flight.

For original BF2, the city maps, Sharqi/Karkand/Mashtuur are all good as there are plenty of people on foot.

I actually disagree somewhat onthe whole "infantry only map" approach, I've found the dam area on Kubra Dam to be fantastic for sniping, but you have to keep in mind

A) the server must be populated enough so not everyone is driving a tank or flying a chopper
B) stay out of the obvious places (like do not sit on that ledge by the power station, god only knows how many other snipers I kill laying on that death bed)

Ghost Town WOULD be the snipers paradise, if there weren't attack choppers raking the unholy crap out of the building tops all the time. I've done some good work "counter sniping" on that map but I wont reveal any of my positions, I can usually score a 10 kill 0 death round easily there but my tactics are fairly unconventional.

I agree, to me Ghost Town is more of an assault map than it is a sniper map.  I prefer sniping from the ground as opposed to a roof and I haven't found much in the way of a ground level sniping spot that gives you a decent view of the map.  If you do like rooftop sniping, you'll find plenty of kills, but plenty of deaths as well.

Also, don't choose the middle tower as a sniping spot.  It's worse than the crane in Sharqi.
