I think a post like this was done a while back.. but if i remember correctly there weren't that many replies.
Basically list down all of the BEST sniping spots you know.
1) Map: Under
Behind the rock in the shadows right at the entrance Nods base. Sukaras and Sniper Blank Hands are difficult to spot.
2: Canyon:
In the tunnel there is this spot with loads of beams and rafters. Well you can jump in to the beams and hide up there! As far i as i know there is only a spot for Nod to do this but i may be wrong. Its cool cause Infantry go running straight past giving you chance to get em in the back or head.

if you can try standing with some tanks, usally when a sniper looks for another sniper they look over the tanks at common sniping places or they avoid the tanks altogether, this works sometimes and i lets you give some great cover to your tanks becuase you see what they see. also both of the outlooks on the volcanoes map work very well and takes awhile for somone to realize your there{crouch when you arent following a target} also on the mesa map you can pick off so many targets in the gdi base by standing on the inclined walkway near the bridge{you can see all the way to the agt and gdi thinks there safe}

Behind the hill with the tree on it in field. You get a nice commanding view of both entrances to the field. Be sure to crouch though.
behind GDI barracks in volcano. I get so many kills there. Also behind the barriers leading into the tib field in volcano. Noone ever looks there.

If you are a very good sniper in Renegade, you don't camp behind rocks and trees waiting for someone.
You use edges of high points to hide your body while you move back and forth and randomizing your attack rates.
As a sniper you should never stop moving unless you are chatting. You should never duck either, n00bs duck and it's pointless.

Walls_Flying is the greatest sniper map of all time. So many little hills and rocks and sweet spots. I put a bullet through three heads with Havoc one time. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
City_Flying is pretty good too, simply because it's big. Lots of spots to hide in, and there are even spots where you can safely snipe right into their own base--right at the entrance to the Barracks and Warfac at that. Great map for all-out frag fests.

It's not a bad thing to stand still while sniping (unless you are in a SNIPER-WAR, duh). If you're the only sniper out there it doesn't matter if you cover your body or not; because the simple fact is, you see them...but they don't see you. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

If you don't watch yourself you'll be attacked by blackhands from behind and run over by a tank. Moving is very important, you have alot to learn..

How would you be sure theres no snipers.One thing Ive learnt is never be sure.especially in the map cnc under it is easy to blend into the darkness and catch the enemy in the corners of theyre mind,So it is never a good idea to stand still for a long time. the infinate range means that you can appear 2 meteres away 200 metres away

Moving *does* attract attention, however...
You'd be surprised how long you sometimes can stay in one spot without someone bothering to kill you.

You have a 1v1 with me and then see how your non-moving tactics work.
Renegade isn't about camping, the best survive by moving and getting noticed. The best can cope under pressure and use it's advantages.

ADM: A 1v1 is not at all like "real" gameplay. He's right in a sense. Sometimes you can get away with a "little" camping. Don't get me wrong, I dislike camping very much but the point is you have to adjust to the current game, players and situation.
This holds true for sniping in general. Sometimes you are way more useful to the team by not being a sniper. Some people will insist on being a sniper even when their base is under heavy attack. If that sniper were a hotwire instead, it can mean the difference between winning and losing.
Oh and on crouching, it too could be the difference in being spotted or not if you do decide to stay put. But you are right about moving, a good player is constantly on the move keeping the enemy guessing.

This situation I put in was if sniping was necessary. Crouching does not help anyone has as soon as your head pops up your dead, kill to me. Another thing, 1v1 is the ONLY true way you can decide the better sniper. In bigger games there are things which may help sway the enemy to an advantage.

You are trying to defend the other people, I'm trying to help them get better. That's where there is a difference.

You're still missing my point. Its not that you are wrong. Its the fact that the situation dictates your actions, not rules written in stone.
1v1 would be the only way to decide the better sniper if people always played 1v1. The better sniper is the player that can perform under the pressures of real gameplay, not theoretical conditions.
And I am trying to help other people, I see the dilema differently from you, that is all.

The better sniper should automaticly adjust to the gameplay. That's why there is no need to mention the differences of real gameplay as it's a requirement to be entered into the 'very good' category.

although i barly ever snipe i found a cool one on hourglass. get a sniper and a buggy. when an apc/ flame rush or whatever is going put your timed c4 on the buggy go around the side and thru the agt fire and get out @ the spot where the AGT cant hit you. buggy blows up and then noone will notice you and your free to take pot shots at all the PICS and Mobiuses that are there to stop flame rushes. although if a med comes round the corner your screwed
