Best Sniping spots!
type: item
description: I think a post like this was done a while back.. but if i remember correctly there weren't that many replies. Basically list down all of the BEST sniping spots you know. 1) Map: Under Behind the rock in the shadows right at the entrance Nods base. Sukaras and Sniper Blank Hands are difficult to spot. 2: Canyon: In the tunnel there is this spot with loads of beams and rafters. Well you can jump in to the beams and hide up there! As far i as i know there is only a spot for Nod to do this but i may be wrong. Its cool cause Infantry go running straight past giving you chance to get em in the back or head.

description: if you can try standing with some tanks, usally when a sniper looks for another sniper they look over the tanks at common sniping places or they avoid the tanks altogether, this works sometimes and i lets you give some great cover to your tanks becuase you see what they see. also both of the outlooks on the volcanoes map work very well and takes awhile for somone to realize your there{crouch when you arent following a target} also on the mesa map you can pick off so many targets in the gdi base by standing on the inclined walkway near the bridge{you can see all the way to the agt and gdi thinks there safe}

description: If you are a very good sniper in Renegade, you don't camp behind rocks and trees waiting for someone. You use edges of high points to hide your body while you move back and forth and randomizing your attack rates. As a sniper you should never stop moving unless you are chatting. You should never duck either, n00bs duck and it's pointless.

description: Walls_Flying is the greatest sniper map of all time. So many little hills and rocks and sweet spots. I put a bullet through three heads with Havoc one time. City_Flying is pretty good too, simply because it's big. Lots of spots to hide in, and there are even spots where you can safely snipe right into their own base--right at the entrance to the Barracks and Warfac at that. Great map for all-out frag fests.

description: ADM: A 1v1 is not at all like "real" gameplay. He's right in a sense. Sometimes you can get away with a "little" camping. Don't get me wrong, I dislike camping very much but the point is you have to adjust to the current game, players and situation. This holds true for sniping in general. Sometimes you are way more useful to the team by not being a sniper. Some people will insist on being a sniper even when their base is under heavy attack. If that sniper were a hotwire instead, it can mean the difference between winning and losing. Oh and on crouching, it too could be the difference in being spotted or not if you do decide to stay put. But you are right about moving, a good player is constantly on the move keeping the enemy guessing.

description: This situation I put in was if sniping was necessary. Crouching does not help anyone has as soon as your head pops up your dead, kill to me. Another thing, 1v1 is the ONLY true way you can decide the better sniper. In bigger games there are things which may help sway the enemy to an advantage.

description: You're still missing my point. Its not that you are wrong. Its the fact that the situation dictates your actions, not rules written in stone. 1v1 would be the only way to decide the better sniper if people always played 1v1. The better sniper is the player that can perform under the pressures of real gameplay, not theoretical conditions. And I am trying to help other people, I see the dilema differently from you, that is all.

description: Well, I guess I can shed a few... Complex - at the left enterence on both sides, there's a little hill you can snipe on. You'll probably take some damage from tiberium though. Walls_flying - on the hand of nod and WF for sure. It's even better if you use the lower class snipers (and logan) since they'res a big chance they'll never see you. Also, getting on the pp and refinary is good as well. Canyon - in those towers behind refinary, alot of people don't seem to notice people up there too often. I also say under the bridge in gdi's base is good for sniping, if you wait by ducking in the one part, you can also get a good amount of PT frags I also like sniping (as nod) on top of the barrax. City (both) - favorite overall spot in all maps, is classified sniping on the bridge has to be second, people on the ground don't seem to notice you a big portion of the time. Oh, and if you use the lower class snipers, you won't have to move as much. Exp. if your well hidden. [ September 12, 2002, 17:59: Message edited by: generalfox ]

I'm going to have to disagree. It can indeed be the difference between being seen and being hidden. (More or less, this would be more effective for BHS, or Deadeye). If you have a headshot lined up, fire, pull back, and hide, that way, when the ~360 degree veiw is initaited after death, you won't be seen, hence, won't be hunted. Now, this doesn't always work in every level, but it works well in levels like Complex.

description: Here's my 2 cents: In city while playing as Nod, I buy a sakura (the alternate one, harder to see because there isn't as much skin showing, lol ) or BHS and hitch a ride with some engies in a transport. I have them fly over the weapons factory, NOT stop moving, and head for the refinery. The enemy won't have a clue you're up there if you do it like this. Feel free to snipe anyone going for the refinery while it dies, then just keep sniping 'till you run out of ammo. After that, deploy a nuke beacon if you've got it (Wait untill you're done, it'll give away your position).

You can get many shots off without being seen; even unload all your ammo if you aren't skilled enough, and the opposing sniper won't know where you are unless they see you in the midst of shooting. Havoc/Sakura on the other hand... Just hope for your head shot.

This is wrong, you have to add other factors besides sight, if seeing is believing for you, you have a long ways to go in renegade sniping. There are sounds, bullet holes, other team mates lookin at something. so i can easly spot a Deadeye/Black hand sniper even if they are not in my LOS.

There's nothing more I like, when sniping, is units that stay PERFECTLY still and duck when shot at.. still staying still.. or the people when they get into a fire fight. They stop dead and worry about aiming and NOT moving. These are the times that I wish I could stop just to type and tell them how dumb they are. What they need are insult buttons! that cause a sound to be played in the vicinity of yoiur character so only nearby units can hear. As for tactics, Movement is key, and changing your location constantly! Although, one place where there is a glitch in the map is hourglass near the left side looking into a base.. the wall looks like it curvse away like this: "/" but in actual fact, there's an invisible portion that is there that goes straight up from the base.. like this "|/" You can safely look into their base and peep out to snipe in an instant then pop back in... this is better for GDI as the AGT will fir missiles when spotting a player! and the Obelisk is just that much slower. The only way against this is to spot this problem ad ready your sniper cursor just beside their head.... then wait for them to take the bait of another kill..... Hope you like this one

Not one of them agreed with ducking.. wonder why?

Well if it was me and I was a sniper I would go after them get the points and stop that Mobius doing damage. Although wise choice would be to go with a decoy or support as charging into the base on Canyon, solo, with a beacon, is suicide (If other side has vehicles and it's a 40 player game). End of the day, it's your choice.

description: ADM's definition of sniping is alot different than yours. You think of it like I do. A patient wait and seek and get that kill the hard way. Through patience and skillfull hiding. He sees it as a contest where everyone runs into the tunnel or field and shoots everyone dead. This has become the Renegade model for sniping due to the power of the ramjets. There is skill in that too, but I don't consider it sniping. I would agree with him that if you crouch in the tunnel, or without cover, then he will own you every time. He's good at that. But if you hide behind a bunker, he runs by you because he didnt see you, then you own him. Hiding is useful.

description: quote: Originally posted by KIRBY098: ADM's definition of sniping is alot different than yours. You think of it like I do. A patient wait and seek and get that kill the hard way. Through patience and skillfull hiding. He sees it as a contest where everyone runs into the tunnel or field and shoots everyone dead. This has become the Renegade model for sniping due to the power of the ramjets. There is skill in that too, but I don't consider it sniping. I would agree with him that if you crouch in the tunnel, or without cover, then he will own you every time. He's good at that. But if you hide behind a bunker, he runs by you because he didnt see you, then you own him. Hiding is useful. Renegade was built for either ways of sniping, close range (sometimes tunnel wars) and long range. Whoever says sniping is ONLY long range needs to be shot. There is no realistic long range shooting in this game (rifle doesn't shake while using scope, you can move perfectly and the rifle remains still). So long range is no better than close range. I would never run past someone who is hiding, I check everywhere thoroughly and from a safe movement zone, experience in my hand. [ September 19, 2002, 08:15: Message edited by: ADM ]

Besides, what you said about hiding behind a rock is bad is totally your opinions. I'm a really good sniper (if I had decent connection I'd be a hell of alot better) and I hide behind stuff usually to reload my gun. Besides, hiding doesn't make you a worse sniper at all.

You are using a sniper rifle in the simplest terms, but couldn't you also argue that when you use close range combat with a shotgun, could it also be called 'sg laming'? (For those of you who have played Infantry Online by Sony )

Using rocks as cover is what all the best do, it's just we don't duck behind a rock. Also this is Renegade. Renegade sniping, whether you like it, or not, consists of CLOSE and LONG range. Oh and hiding makes your kills lower than your deaths.

I was using that not to show off English (Which I'm not the best at), it was to show you what arrogance really is. My posts were to show my opinion. The reason I call myself a sniping master is because I was in HS, which was the clan of 'Sniping Masters'. Which you thought would be necessary to bring up.

A "real world" sniper hides and strikes from afar without being seen. I suppose that if I was going for most kills in a game, I would use your tactics. I prefer the kill/death ratio that reflects I didn't get hit once, and was never seen. I love to hear n00bs scream in anguish and claim I have an aimbot. I absolutely love it.
