You know what though: I like Glacier proper. The atmosphere of it and even the bugs like the mystery electricity and disappearing mines.
I especially like sniper games on that map. So many places to hide....

Indeed, on all other maps you can forget both Characters.

And that applies only for CW's. So bye bye!
Still, you need at least 1 sniper in CW if AS/WF is dead on maps with no base defenses.

Yeah, that map is fun in public servers...I love to pick out those enthusiastic Hotties/Techies who want to kill a building on their own.

I suggest getting really comfortable with killing up close when the time calls for it. I've found that staying as close to people as possible in 1 on 1 situations really screws with them.
Also always have a full clip. As soon as you're clear from enemies you should be reloading. And by the time you fire your 3rd shot you should be looking for a safe place to reload. This applies to pretty much every character, but snipers most.

ok some things here:
hit escape, go to options, find the mouse sensitivity, and tone it down to about 1/4, then go snipe some, and adjust it from here, youll see what i mean.
the SBH unstealths on CLICK so if you find a place to hide, then go into scope, you will decloak, then recloak while your in scope. very usefull.
SCREW HEAD SHOTS GO FOR BODY SHOTS OMG!
random semi off topic note: these tips are from ouchbunny, as she lectured me recently on this. if you see her ingame, please do anything in your power to piss her off....
my tips: if you dont mind getting your rear end banned, theres always hacking.
if oyu do mind, eh... give up, and snipe with a volt auto rifle ^.^

Please don't bump a month old topic.
I don't know why, but in Renegade, people call close combat with Sniper rifles "sniping" You'd think sniping is like...long range.

That's a nonsensical statement. The reason it only "applies" in clanwars is the level of teamplay is much higher. Generally speaking it applies in public servers too, just most people don't realise it.

Generally speaking, you might be right, but no matter what level of play YOU (You the player, not you Spoony) are at, Public servers demand a different kind of gameplay. It's not just "higher", it's a different breed of animal. High player counts mean that one team could do something silly like buy 7 orcas or 7 stanks and still not be immediately wiped out thanks to lots of expensive infantry scattered all over the map. In addition, you have generally less teamwork, making it harder to exploit your enemies stupidity.
Basically whet I'm trying to say is, because of non-conventional (And sometimes downright stupid) tactics that occasionally surface on public servers, along with different settings (Higher player count, etc), you cannot ignore the Ramjet.

I'm not saying Ramjets are useless, they're not. I'm simply saying Starbuzz's comment was plain bunk.

It's not nonsense, it's just poorly worded.
CW tactics are made for 5v5s and lower. In a large public server (20v20 or 25v25), these tactics become less effective because they are used in a different situation. A skilled team of 5 can use their skill and tactics to overcome a lesser-skilled team of 5, but they're going to have a harder time doing so against a lesser-skilled team of 25.

I never said the ramjets were or weren't useless. Starbuzz and I are just saying that they see more use (And have more of a role) in public servers than in CWs. I don't believe any (good) team has had more than two ramjets in a CW at one time. Does that sound about right? Yet in a public server, because the player count is higher but the vech limit remains the same, you have more vehicle-less players, making snipers more valuable (And inadvertantly, more common).

about time someone agreed with me...
now I know I am close to a master at sniping in an AOW server 
in a sniper server I am average I tent to stay out of tunnels.. snipers dont belong in them...
Even in an AOW match I will not go in tunnels with a sniper... and I ONLY buy a havoc or sakura when I need to get rid of arty's, mrls's, orca's and apaches's. or when there is a heck of alot of buggys and or hummers comming... or if there is no hand or barracks and everyone is a free char... other then that, I am a 500 sniper... no tracers, and no shiney gun. There are a few people who give me a run for the money in jelly2... only about 2-3 people...
Thing I hate the most is how as soon as everyone gets $500, 5 outta 10 poeple become a sniper... and 4 outta those 5 dont kill shit... and then they beg for money for another one...
This is why I love working with my friends over teamspeak... we all have our main roles that we carry out. but we all know how to do each other role as well... ie reparing, tanks, flying, ect... anyway...
Sniping (for me) depended on practise, alot of it. and also fps above 60... if your frames are less then 45 dont attempt it... atleast in my oppinoin.

Sorry if this is a repost, but I heard that using the 'v' free look button while sniping is another good hint..
So I tried this and its a bit hard to do while your strafing around left and right, but its harder for them to hit you and you have more or of a chance to kill (if your mouse aiming and reflexes are good enough)...
It's a bit confusing at the first, but if you get good at it, you'll own..
