The Art of Sniping

Sniping a guy in a moving vehicle seems next to impossible. You can't line up a shot, you have to move the scope with the motion of the vehicle and hope you line it up right.

Today i was having some fun at the airport sniping poor noobs,there were like 13-15 players and i just gave them a proper nightmare,i was killing them from everywhere and the poor guys were just defenseless sarcasm.gif I killed like 5 of them while they were driving a car/bikes at full speed along those landing strips,plus some nice chopper kills...Its just about alot of practice and very very good timing,when shooting at a moving target just predict its next move and move the cross hair over there and then its all about the right timing...

@ The two posts above me,you made me laugh lol.gif (lol at first i thought you were the same person lol.gif )

And who fuccked up the page suicidal.gif

Yeah it's just about predicting where the target will be next, best to aim a little infront of where the target is moving towards.

I sniped a guy in a chopper earlier. It was quite a distance away but it was hovering so hardly a good snipe. I killed so many people though. Airport only with auto aim off and always 12-15 people.

Those dudes the snipe the people at the airport going into the helicopters. Get a sniper from one of the airport passage-way tops,

Grab a truck and go to to the shore just opposite them, Then snipe away. It is awesome when you and the snipers have a headset and you

hear them getting pissed off. Yeah, good times smile.gif

I only just figured out last night that you can take cover with a sniper rifle and

use it just like any ther gun!

 

sorry if this is old to ppl but i thought it was pretty cool.

 

Anyone for a sniper deathmatch?

 

no blips

no auto aim

damn I didn;t know that, and I'm cursing myself that I didn;t try it.

 

I hardly ever use cover, I prefer to crouch since I'm used to crouching from other FPS games.

 

I gotta use cover more often now.

Cheers for the hot tip squire.

When you do this the accuracy absolutely sucks though. Its good for quick shots when people get close to you but you should fire off all you got at your target because its impossible to get a hit this way. When I try this I usually get killed by the people not in coverage.

The only way I've found to fire from the hip with the sniper rifles is from cover. Funny enough I only found this out today...

 

I can't snipe for sh*t on any game. Even Halo and from what I gathered when I did hit something with it on there, thats one of the easiest games to snipe on.

 

Couldn't hit a f*ckin barn door like it though on IV, I'm more of an assault rifle guy myself.

 

Cover is your friend.

Opportunity knocks once in a lifetime, temptation will lean on the doorbell.

Close range sniping is all about practice, its a combination of leaving the gun set vertically where you want to hit them before you zoom in, and then pulling the scope across the screen towards them as fast as possible, once you get the pull technique and the pre aim part down, your set.

What this game is missing is a 3rd crouch option, so you can lie down on the ground to snipe

Yeah like in Socom. and if you tab crouch fast you can skip positions to save time.. I have wanted that.
