That was like a handbook on how to snipe and sniping tatics the AOtCR thing was really fun to do. I would go with u to the Army if i could, and wish u the best in the army (shoot someone for me).


the picture of the sniper rifle below can be copied and pasted for yours so snipers can take over the world (and Halo).

i love sniping and hate when people call you camper and -blam!-, the only people that complain about campers are people who suck and get killed a lot by them

how could you see a bullet sticking out the back of your head? and if it was sticking out, it probably wasn't a bullet, it was probably a baby carrot, in which case you should eat it.

Oh yeah, Handy Hint for all you sniper peoples, When you're on PC Multiplayer, you can crouch and rapidly tap the foward key. Don't do it too frequently and don't hold it down too long. If you pull it off right, you can move without being seen on the motion tracker. This is good for slipping behind enemy bases or guards, THEN WHACKING THEM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!!!

Guys, this stuff really doesn't work. Maybe if you're playing with your 7 year old neighbors from down the street you might be able to use these tactics effectively, but anyone even remotely decent at the game will own you if you try to do any of this.

Hiding behind bushes? Are you joking me? If someone is standing still, and I'm holding a sniper, they are dead automatically. If you want to be a good sniper, you have to be able to snipe close and far ranges. Play any map besides sidewinder and blood gultch and most of your sniping will be medium to close range.

The number one thing to do is to never stand still. Always be moving when you are sniping. If you are lining up a shot on someone and they moving in a relatively straight path, move in the same direction as them. Since you'll both be moving in the same direction, at the same speed, its basically like sniping a person standing still. This is really important to remember: the more you can aim with movement like strafing and such, the better your shot will be.

Another thing to remember is to use 2X whenever possible. Only use 10X if it's ridiculously far away. You shouldn't use 10x on any map but sidewinder and blood gultch, and even then, try to limit it. It is easier to hit people with 2x. Don't ask me why, but it is. Try it.

Besides that, you really just have to practice. There is nothing I can tell you that will make you be able to get head shots. The only way to get better is to play more. Reading guides online can only do so much.

Yeah, I already found out about that press forward quickly thing... You can't sneak up on your enemy if you're moving to their base at under 1 mph... It doesn't help unless they can't actually see you visually. Like if you are behind a wall or in a crevice, and you see them on your motion tracker.

I love it when people post such stupid things. Oh well. Man this thing is still up? Geez.

  • 03.06.2007 11:10 AM PDT

If I actually applied any of these tactics to my game style, I'd become dramatically worse.

Wow. You are so leet. Show me how to be just like you.


Maybe it's a guide for beginners, dick head.

The problem is that it teaches them to do stupid things which make them worse. Standing still with sniper = retarded. No one should do it, no matter how good or bad you are.
