BF2 Tips and Tricks

[big-paddy]

I cant seem to find the list of tips and tricks.

Anyway at here is another (Rangers really)

Searching for snipers? Slowly move your sights along skylines. When you see a red tag you got one. Sound simple, but you can find what you cant see.

edit: should the list be pinned

Yup. Stand very still and search for me, giving me excellent time to get a head shot... when you see the flash, it's too late.

Your presuming of course the sniper can see you?  

Actually I'd say its equally a good way for snipers to quickly find targets if they can't see a target.

[Dewey]

I prefer getting into a long distance shooting match vs a sniper than a guy with a M16/M4/G36 etc. For every shot a sniper fires at me they get 2 or 3 in return. My kind of odds.

Obviously if the snipers has you in his sights, you should be history, however the sniper rifles in Bf2 leave much to be desired. The m24/dragnov usually take more than one shot to kill. The M95 will kill outright but many people can't hit a barn door with it - me and Ranger included.

Frenzy seems a good shot with his sniper rifle I've noticed!

I personally dont have any problem...

I make relatively good use of cover - then move.

This worked remarkablly well last night.

I was caught out twice! Not bad going I thought when you consider how many I was knocking down! (No offense guys - just answering the comment!)

(And I was using an M16/G36c versus snipers with SVD/.50 cal!)

Even with the huge front sight blades I was headshoting snipers while they were scoping in one me ~ obviously not everyone is of your high calibre CoolHand (get it? 'Calibre'! LOL)

 :roflmao:

I would never chose a sniper rifle over a standard rifle - and the Ghilie suit just looks like a nasty green bush when trying to hide on a sandy hill...

My experience is that snipers have that 'you can't see me' attitude ~ even when thier big heads are poking out from behind the hill!

LOL

Ah so thats where its hiding.

Far too obvious.

Is this too good to share with the alphas?

No - I think we should share all our tricks...

Like how to get in the way of your mate's APC and get run over -

or how to HALO from a great distance then at the last minute hit the 8 key by mistake -

or how to run up to a tank to C4 it only to draw your knife by mistake!

etc, etc...

These are good tips we want everyone else to be using!

Just to make sure you don't misunderstand me: I'm not a very good sniper, I seldom snipe. However, I try not to stand still if I have a suspicion there is a sniper around.

I usually get a kill ratio around one kill for every 0,8 enemies I take out. On a good day I will make a 1:1.

I prefer the M16 or the MEC/Chinese counterpart. A few times I've played sniper, but I'm not good enough in hiding/scooting.

LOL - was pulling your leg mate!

We really should have a 'pulling your leg' smilie - er, or would that look too rude?

Coolhand, I can't snipe to save my life, which is why I stick to my less sophisticated boomstick - my trusty shotgun

Rephrase? Hm.... I guess I lie pulled, as I can hardly stand with my leg pulled.
