A true sniper and halo player doesn't camp! Snipe from the most unexpected place possible... everywhere!

through a hog, no one ever suspects a sniping vehicle

#1. In the little hole behind the [color=blue]blue[/color] base in BG.
#2. In the middle of Sidewinder where the over-shield is. You can duck and not be seen from either base.

Sardonic has a good point, I usually only stay there until I am killed. Then I just go to random locations.

THat is true but in that case if there is another sniper then your screwed because you are nrmally in the open but you still didnt answer my question where is your favorite place to snipe from.

i rarely camp. i useuly go to different scanning locations to see if i pick up on someone. my favorite is in Blood Gulch you know the slight incline that is like a ramp. it is really hard to pick up on someone that is up there becuase you can pass by there real easly. the only time i camp is when i am giving some backup for a cap flag or a big team deathmatch. you know for a couple of shots when my guys are moving out. would you call that camping.
i like hag'em high for long shot becuase it is really open. man it is hard though.

#1) from on top of the tank. any map with a tank stand on top pretty good vantage.
#2) hills above red temple in bg
#3) on the run... any where any map... on the run

i dont have a "spot" i have a "route" that ill run that'll take me to multiple high (and low) vantage points that give me and edge on snipering, esspeshaly when suddenly im on the other side of the map, that flips my opponents right around and usualy leaves them napping in a puddle of there own blood *evil laughing*

Yeah, I pointed this out to the last guy who made this type of thread. True snipers will know that certain spots gives them an advantage or huge viewing circle but they won't just stay there all the time.

I use the centre of Sidewinder (near the Overshield) about once every match (twice on a rare occasion). I will get about two kills before moving on, anywhere else would be just one kill but that place has such a huge range I can sneak in a second before the enemy starts to click.

I like to snipe from the Floor of Sidewinder, its so unexpected.

There is no "good" sniping spot. Shoot and scoot is the name of the game. if you are playing with anyone good you won't survive very long sitting in one spot.

Take a sniper rifle and shove the barrel up it....




Then pull the trigger.

Well, hiding in shadows with a good color and its pretty damn hard to be killed. Its hard to be seen from far away and if they get close enough you arent doing very good with that rifle. But that is true for sniping, its not sniping if you camp.

The trick is to keep on moving..it's never good to camp when u snipe..once you kill someone, u change spot and keep them guessing..
