Snipers Rule!!! - My hour of fun

[$kelet0r]

Isn't it always the way with snipers in games - They're voyeurs. They get off on watching, without ever having to actually take part.

I dunno about that
168 grains to the brain pan sounds pretty involved to me

tbh All the pro players are playing beta atm. If I still played 0.5 I would have picked you off the crane in seconds, even without a sniper.

Ok...snipers are near useless in this game because... people respawn.

Its incredible, for generations to come, the word sniper or support will be to sum up people you think are immature, impatient, shallow and completely void of any tactical or logical thinking.


Four score and seven years ago our Dev's brought forth on this arena a new mod, conceived in liberty for free and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that mod or any mod so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here have no lives so that that mod might live. It is altogheter fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave supportless men, living or respawning who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor sniperpower to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we write in this forum, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced with only assault. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honoured respawners we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain and call in artillery, that this mod under DICE shall have a new birth of freedom, and that Devs of the people, by the people, for the people shall not anguish of TK by a rocket.

IMO the m14 scope should be at least 6x and there should only be ONE sniper on a 32 man team

lol zero teamwork. but hey, as long as your killing lots of enemy - go ahead and be sniper. just make sure they dont kill our boys first ok?

Try following behind your squad or helping other squads that need backup against troops out of range.

That's not the job of the sniper. That's the job of the Designated Marksman.

A sniper's job is to collect information, take out targets of oppurtunity, and be an overall pain in the ass for the enemy. The only teamwork involved in being a sniper is providing information.

32 kills? Pfft. I got 115 with the SVD on Airport--granted it was SP.

What the hell? I can't find my Demo or Screenshots folders in either Program Files/BF2 or My Documents/BF2.

I agree

Would be nice, if you could limit kits per map, so we wouldnt end up with H-AT/L-AT on infantry maps...
