I have only one that I use alot, well maybe two. I first one is on top of our base, I can have a good view of the area, and I shout out positions of the other team or help out friends that have their backs against the wall. second one is when I'm on blue, I take to the caves on the right side of the base, and go all the way to the red base and snipe ppl from there, and when all is clear and the other team is away, I steal their flag. :P

I usually roam around the map with my sniper. I take the teleport, and snipe everything that moves. Then I camp on hills overlooking the spawnbases, and blast the crap out anything dumb enough to live. MUHAHAHAHAH!

You should download a vodeo on kazaa called "Halo - Blood Gulch Fun" or something.. It shows the most awesome sniperpoint ever. You can actually drive a gost up the canyon wall at a special point. And then you can drive the ghost over the map and land on top of the cliff. From there you can snipe everywhere!

What you are describing is not sniping, but rather camping. Here are some very good definitions.

Sniping- The act of stalking a target of opportunity and neutralizing it. Snipers move with the target and remain hidden as they traverse the land. Once they are ready they shoot and generally take down their target with one shot. Usually done professionally and precisely.

Camping- The act of staying stationary with any weapon. Generally one that is scoped. This act involves very little skill and is easilly countered by more skilled players. It is a matter of thinking one is good, yet really isn't because they must stay still in order to hit their target. Even then a camper is more than willing to expend an entire clip in order to eliminate a target. Which does not always end in success. Camping tactics generally involve very sloppy work.

Hope those help you people see a difference.

Very well put Hikaru. And my buddies get mad when I keep popping lead through their skulls when they get to their "sniping" spots.

Most of those spots are very obvious. Although I do like the Camper space next to Red base in SW. If you are wearing grey armour it's damn near impossible to see you there. Well until you shoot - that's why I like the pistol.

I usually get off the map and snipe from the tall cliff right in front of blue base. It takes a while to get off the map by red base but it pays off when i get on top. There is no hiding spot from a sniper on top the map. By the way if you jump from the high point you die before you hit the ground. Dunno how many people get off the map this way, its not talked about much.

I never camp a spot, so I'm always moving and sniping at the same time. But if I had to choose an area for my favorite sniping spot, it would be to the left of red base, in around the cliff. Me being on blue team. On red I like to hang around the teleporter.

the absolute best place to stand sniping in sidewinder is standing on the shield in the very middle of the level, on that raised mound, you can see both sides and if someone snipes you or rockets you there is shield right there
