Now this is a two person job but I find it will work well one person is to go in front of the snipers target and dance around making the sniper struggle to get him in his sights then will he is focused on his target and not his tracker put a grenade on the back of his head and get out of there it also helps if you communicate so the sniper dosent shoot before it goes off for the decoy it help if you go around in a random patern jumping all the time

it really depends on the level and the place of sniping. as well as the skill of the player themself.

Step 1: locate a scorpion and board it.
Step 2: Aim the cannon at the sniper(if you don't know where they are, look for their bullets' slipstreams).
Step 3: Blow him sky high.


this is NOT a good tactic, at all, it is incredibly easy to snipe someone out of the tank, dont try it, unless the person sniping is a complete retard

What I would do is (assuming that you have a rocket launcher) is keep dodging his bullets or hide behind a tree or something until he has to reload, then fire a rocket in his general direction to scare him off. Then, if he goes for it, run like hell for cover.

Scorpion can work, just watch out, you have a very easy to shoot head while your in the tank. My anti-sniper method is to snipe right back at him, period. Thats pretty much the only thing I'll do, unless I'm close by, then I'll hit him with the pistol or melee him.

No, use Ghosts or Warthogs.
Its nearly impossible for snipers to snipe vehicles except Scorpions.
The best way is use Needler and Pistol, always try to jump so Snipers can't shoot you very well. When you locate a sniper, shoot him with Pistol so he can't scope and switch to Needler and shoot at him like heII and watch him fly without wings.

NO! Never use vehicles. And never jump! I'm not a good sniper, but if you jump, I can find you, zoom in, and put a bullet in your head before you land. If your enemy (sniper) is any good, so can he. As far as vehicles, it's the same. I'll miss shot after shot, but when you get into a ghost, it's a one shot kill for me if I'm a sniper.
Kuldahar, I will try your tactic of the needler, though. It will make him busy dodging while you have time to line up a shot. But remember, those needlers have a limited range, so only do that when your mid range.

If your in the same room with them just punch them in the face. But if you want to hurt their ego, just think like a sniper. Unless the person sniping you has an attention problem, then you can throw grenades far from where you are to get their attention and move in short bursts from cover to cover. ( make sure you throw the grenades in a way that they can't find the point of origin, or your liable to getting shot again ) Also think like a sneaky bastard. I do and I almost always get the upper-hand on the sniper. If they THINK that they are a sniper, example in the fact that they are a lousy shot, just charge them in a zig-zag patern while shooting at them.

There are only two ways to kill a sniper:

1. Snipe him.
2. Sneak up on him and shotgun him. (or, if you can, melee him).

Go from sniper target to, giant heavy slow sniper target

If you know where they are sniping from, you can turn the tank away from them, which makes it so they can't snipe you, now you just have to watch out for their teammates and rockets...

The other ways to take out a sniper have been stated but I'll restate..
1. Countersnipe- effective if the sniper hasn't noticed you, especially if he's focused on another target.
2. get close and personal with a Pistol and shotgun or plasma weapon.- however a sniper's second weapon will be a pistol (if they have brains that is), or maybe a heavy weapons such as the Rocket launcher, or Fuel Rod gun.- so be very careful when doing this tactic.
3. Use a banshee- this is a chancy tactic, you better know where they are before doing this- you'll probably only get one chance maybe two to peg him with a fuel rod shot and then finsish him off with the plasma guns. If the sniper is good with pistols (usually are) you won't get very long to take them out in a banshee.
4. Use a chaingun hog with a buddie- probably the best tactic, if you don't go right at the sniper to run him over because he'll use a grenade to flip the hog, so stay away from the sniper, always moving and let the gunner take out the sniper. Once the sniper has run out of grenades (if you can get him to throw them too soon or too late..) then go ahead and try to run him over, it'll keep him that much more occupied.
5. Gang up on him; send at least 3 people over to get him, have them use cover/stealth so to provide a little of a target as possible until they're close eneught to use pistols. The bad part about this is that it ties up a good chunk of your team to take out 1 guy.
6. Get a ghost. Hope they don't have heavy weapons..

Get a short ranged weapon and a ghost. Then dive the ghost as close as you can as fast as you can and then if you cant just kill them with the ghost (wich you shouldn't be unless the sniper is a noob) then jump out get into a short-ranged battle.

Easiest method, hide.
However, in all reality the sniper will have a longer patience-span than you and so someone is gonna' get bored and venture out. Depending on what map you are playing, grenades work wonders. Get the right angle, a hop maybe, and a run and land that little egg of love right next to the guy. A second would make a good present.
If you're all the way across the map when you're getting sniped, countersnipe. Some people suck at sniping so it isn't as easily said as done. Have a second guy with you, and stand in a position where you're not totally revealed. Shoot the sniper, and take at least his shield out. When you die, the other guy can run out, take the rifle you just dropped, and finish him off ( assuming he hasn't moved and etc. )
If you can't snipe, and the other person can't snipe, or you're in a bad spot on the map, hope for a swift death or get the invisibility, then make your way to an advantageous position.
That's all you really need to do.

Go straight at him with a ghost while holding A and shooting at the same time. Holding A raises the front of the ghost in front of you and all he can see is purple death! Bwa ha ha ha ha.

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

My method is in sig. I find it the most effective way of killing snipers
