BTW,
I had a game last night on the complex map and i was gdi
It was close to the start and i already had 500$ so i went to the top of that hill and started sniping peeps that were going to the air field hut and buying ****
I killed like 10 peeps b4 i got killed by a black hand stealth

Anyway, I change positions alway`s. I never stay in the same place very long. Even if its just alway`s moving between two places or so, but never stand completly still for more than 3 seconds, and that might just be to line up a shot! But you should be able to do that on the run!

And alway`s aim for the head, but wait for them to stop moving and attempt to do somthing else, to make your move. That, or don`t let them in your tunnels, either way!

And don`t shoot at the harvester, I do it all the time but I really have to stop. It gives away your position, and also takes away much needed ammo. It might not seem like much needed now, but wait until you run out...at the worst time. As Murphy`s law states:

"Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the worst time!"

So keep your ammo, until you need it!

OH, and don`t shoot vehicles, wait for them to get out and repair their vehicles, then strike. STRIKE WITH A VENGENCE!!! Then use their vehicle to destroy their harvester, just to put hurt on top of agony!

Enjoy!

Peace

Well a sniper is a support role and if those so called snipers as you stated aren't doing their job by counter sniping then I can see why you are mad. As far as firing from behind tanks as far as I know it's the best way to stay alive on most maps. If peeps aren't paying attention then they are easier to kill. I don't snipe every map I like techies or Black hands mostly. But it sounds to me that you got thrashed by a snipe or 2 and are mad about it.

Mad...no.. I just think its funny that they seem like it takes skill to snipe...(in this game)takin out by snipers...yes...but never twice in the same level..and I also took them out ..more than once per level...

Ahh. Ok bro you sounded mad or something.I agree it's pretty easy to snipe in this game most of the time. Unless you have a bad team or a good enemy that adapts to you pretty quick.

Can you give me some tips like how often do you change locations, how far in do you zoom in on your target, etc.
Do you try to snipe everyone or just higher units to not give away your position?

And anything else you can think of.
Thanks!
Also, what sniper do you like bst, the $500 one or the $1000 one?
I am sure the $500 one is good for some of you as a head shot kills instantly.

If you want my advice, I can tell you my best strategies.

1)Use the $500 sniper. The $1000 is only good for anti-light armor purposes, such as taking out MRLS's, humvees, or buggies. Also, your opponent get's more points for killing the $1000 one.

2) Find a place against a wall, preferably with a big rock or something next to you. A good example of this is in Under. As you are leaving the Nod base, you will notice that dark colored canyon wall, and big rocks to hide behind. With the black hand sniper, you blend in perfectly.

3) Aim for the head ONLY! If you take a shot and hit the guy in the gut and it doesn't kill him, then he will be aware that you are there and will pose a large threat to you. Also, one hit to the head will kill anything!

4) Use ammo wisely. Don't burn ammo on heavy armor like the APC, it's a waste of time. 6-7 shots can kill a humvee, but I would only do this if the humvee is a direct threat to YOU. Same with the buggy.

5) Always take aim for other snipers first. If you are being shot at by snipers, kill them before you shoot anything else. Even if you have shotgun troops running at you, DON'T stop shooting snipers! You will give an advantage to your team, and in the long run, prevent snipers from messing with you in the future.

That's all I can think of now.

6) Don't get into a situation where the enemy can get this close to you. Ignore Shotgun Soldiers??? Did you ever hear of falling back? If someone was that close to me I wouldn't keep firing at the sniper!

Although Deadeye/Blackhand is harder to find its still not that bad, best idea is if the map has spawn weapons, get a Blackhand Stealth and find yourself a rifle
Moving doesnt always help your position.. one game on C&CUnder i was blackhand and stayed in the NOD bunker side for about 20 mins.. took out like 5 snipers who came for me.. 2 were Havoc.. i musta ****ed them off
Anyway dont waste ammo on vehicles unless they are engaged or far from you (behind more so)
Always go for head shots!! i cant stress this enough! If someone takes damage from a Sniper its Instantly noticable, its not sloppy like an Auto rifle or automatic weaponry.. its a clean hit, if you got 200/100 the 100 Armor will leave and you'll have the 200 left, then you know a sniper hit u.
I have more trouble hitting moving targets than anything else personally.. i usually stay at around 50\% Zoom so i can scan easily and zoom in on anything noticed.
