I was pretty decent back a few months ago.

I havent played in a while but i still know how to snipe.

FIRST..

Use a sensitivity that suits you. Dont use 10 because some pros use it. I use 5 as i can kinda sweep but still have control. If your a begginer i suggest 3-4.

Practice. Im not good right now as i didnt play, but im gradually getting better. Customs are the best way to practice, Team Snipers is just Hide and Seek.,

Move while you are zooming in. It can help you from getting assassaninated and will help you from getting sniped.

Aim for the head unless the opponent is running AWAY from you, where 2 shots to the body would be better then going for the small space of the head.


Not many tips for sniping, just practice basically. Hope i helped somehow

Never panic. sometimes its just as effective shooting them in the body twice as appose to a headshot. Chances are if you have shot the guy once in the body, its gonna knock that person out of scope........which is perfect for that quick second shot. You need to learn hot spots from every map and once you have achieved this, you need to walk around corners already scoped in ( x 5 ) prepared for any one thats unaware.......


Never jump if you get into a shoot and beat down fest......
Do not stay in the same place after a kill ( unless you have a chance of a double and triple etc...)
Over time, you will learn where most players camp........you can use this to your advantage by throwing grenades etc....
Grenades and melee are your best friend.......its not all shoot, shoot, shoot..........
if you find yourself in an up close quarter battle, use your beam rifle and don't panic.....also don't try and line up that head shot, a body shot and quick melee is just as effective.

Never go out into the middle of the map. Always stick to the sides. If you see a guy, never shoot more than 2 shots killing him.
Always.............always strafe around. Even if you can't see an enermy..............never stand still, even when shooting someone. STRAFE !!

Don't camp, always make sure they don't know where you are, and aim for the head. Stay nice and calm too. Make sure you have a clear shot, and know how many people are around you, and where you may get potentially shot by the other team. If you're doing close range combat, -blam!- the sniper, whip out the sword or shotgun. Oh yeah, don't jump, this is the easiest way to kill someone.

also a good tactic is that when u start and are playing in a smaller map where there are lots of corners line ur sight up with aiming at a team mates head then turn corners like that so you can get a quick shot already linedup (if the floor is level)

don't jump around, unless someone is sniping at you. Also never charge head on into a group pick them off.
