Thanks "Mr. Sniper".



Oh yeah....everyone. Just aim for the head and you'll be a 'Sniper Badass'. Right?

Only if you can hit the head AND if the enemy does not know where they got hit from.

real nice post i think u have bort new food to the table and mentioned alot of things we have all been thinking about.

another tatic i and my clan find is good is, wen the game starts we all know our roles in the game (this is vital for a sucessful team game) i imediatly go for the sniper rifle and ten my team moves out. in stead of running off anywere follow your team but stay a good distance back so you can always see were they are running to and this way you can always see whats coming before they can (again comunitcate and tell them) this way you have already got the upper hand. if you stand behind them you have there cover because you no there on your team nuthings cumin thru and be aware of the flank. normaly i find my opponent will just stray off leaving his team. this is perfect of most maps because you no theres only a few places he could be, easy killing.

hikaru imnot so sure if agree with your anti camping comments. if you do it as a team i think its a very skillfull and challenging way of combat

sorry if the spellings and grammer is all rong im on a cordless key bord with the literacy of a hillbilly

ok, I have a question, if i am getting shot and i know im gonna die, should i keep all the ammo in the gun, or should i just shoot it off/jump off the edge?

you shold never waste ammo or jump off any edge dude! for all u no the guy shooting at u might have 2 guy behind him about to kill him, you should always let the battle take corse because u being there and getting shot at will reveale his position to your other team mates maybe, you dieing is bad but it could be a positive thins as well

again sry if the slepping is crap im on a cordless key bord and it 'in the end' types wot it wants to

What is it with this thread? I don't think there is ANY science to sniping on a video game. And whoever wrote this thread needs a woman....BAD. Seriously.

WAR0083 if you are so cool and all why don't you get off these forums and play with your girl. He obviously was very bored and decided to help some noobs out, right Ruke.

Because we all know I can pwn you with the sniper.

Hardly so becu. And you stay in your place ossoona or I'll strip you of rank.

It's better to give Beatdowns than to receive them!!!

All I want to know is direct head shot or will "face painting" REALLY work?

One year later and this sucker is still a sticky. Amazing.

As for your question....I can't really say due to the fact I do not know what exactly you are asking Crank Juice 1.

When you're book gets published, then maybe I'll quit talking -blam!-. Until then I stand by my word: "There is no art or science to sniping in this game." It's funny how much people take this game seriously. Just because you can gun people down on this game doesn't make you anything. It's a video game. Nothing more. Staring at a TV with a piece of plastic in your hand. That's it. No go, and play with your imaginary chick. AKA "Left Hand".

Actually I do get outside and realize that it is a game. However there are people here that have no lives, so I help them out with my experience. And yes there is an art to it. Otherwise my little sister or father would be able to snipe. Also it helps when you take notes from real life experience with firearms. Despite what most people say, the knowledge transfers over to video games well (it however does not go the other way).

Oh, and another thing is to not underestamate sound. My advice = never play when the sound is off. The roars of an Elete can give you his exact position and you can hear vechicals sneeking up behind you.

**Attention**

For all the Action replay owners out there, I've made a save just for the AOTCR sniping practice. It's on heroic (I can't do legendary, but if i put my mind to it i could do that later maybe EDIT: I did legendary to the checkpoint, but then my damn power went out and it didn't save). You spawn near the huge locked down that has about 50 enemies behind it, but it is closed. so just fly up to a good spot and come down whenever you need more ammo. Follow the download link at the bottom of page and when it brings u to the page, click the free button at the bottom. Then download it to ur computer or save as a temporary file or "open". Then drag and drop that whole zip file into the "PC Database" Section or the "Memory Card" section of the AR software Once it's on your memory card, go ahead and give it a try!

very good guide but too late for me. i was taught by a "friend" by being shot through the head many times. and now im actually very good (i dont mean to sound cocky). and i dont think that being found is that bad in all situations, it can make the enemy come to you make them go into the open running to you which makes it very easy to get headshots. and as for ghost make them come straight for u and shot the part of the head that is exposed and as for ant-sniping it is very important to be very random and lastly after u have got youre accuarcy down and basic sniping learn to run and snipe at the same time and the pistol is always a handy backup.

Rock on! Anyone who would take that much time to write a sniper guide should get an award.

Great guide Hikaru! I didn't think that many people would be snipers. It seems like more people are not snipers. I do camp though, but I don't get caught very much. I'll try your strategies sometime.
