Well, you may get it although with lag its more difficult to shoot straight but other than that, the sniper is pretty cool. Scoping can be much fun

Yeah, the sniper owns, a shot to the head is a one hit kill, no matter what.

if you shoot a little ahead of the target I am guessing you would have a better chance of hitting.

Counter-sniping is where the real money is. Stay alive. Find the sniper. Hear his rifle fire. See the muzzle flash. Take him out with one head shot.

Actually, I would think being the original sniper would net you more credits because you'd prolly get 3-4 people before anyone really noticed and started looking for you.

Depends on the team really. An experienced player will take advantage of the time between dying and respawning to take a good look at the battlefield and locate the sniper, then report his location to the team. Another sniper can easily sneak up on the enemy one and take him out.

I'm guessing its useless on 56k since most snipers in fps games are useless on 56k.

On 32 player it would be bad yes but it may be ok on 16 player sometimes.

i just started playing yesterday,

after a few hours, i must say sniping with $1000 sniper are excellent even though i have 600-700ms ping

i got ratio of 12:1(b4 lagging out from 4000+ms) just by hiding in dark places(hint: **** good place away from sun but u can snipe ur base entrance n opponent base and vehicle will have hardtime getting u and lots of rocks n a few tunnels to choose) n sniping unsuspecting infantry, engineers and light armoured vehicle...if it is mammoth or something, get their engineer when they repair... it is very important that u snipe and hide then come out again...and listening for sound is very important to make sure no infantry closing in on u...or for enme snipers/rail/ion on top busy with taking out vehicles, sneak up on them n blow thier head off...

whats good about being sneaky is, they wont know what hit them if u hide properly n wait for the right chance and only taking out selective target...if someone did see u, do change place... if they busy battling, they wont know a sniper kill them since renegade doesn;t write killed by pistol or sniper rifle.... sniper doesn;t recoil....

there are no lag compensation, if u pull the trigger right when there is a red flash on ur cursor it will hit no matter wat

crouching behind rock is very very important (dark area, they wont be able to see u no matter wat) unless right up ur ass real close..and i must stress get ur ass back behind the rock crouched is very important too........

thank god there were no spectator mode that they can see where i hides

but i guess sooner or later they will find out....

even though sniper is just 4 bullets each clip, it is very accurate no matter u r strafing or unzoomed...no recoils! (if u r a counter-strike fan, u will have no trouble sniping but u just need to work on stealth)

with 250health and full armour, when ur sniper rifle have about 5-8 bullets left, go in enemy base through tunnel n rush for it...use ur c4 if u got through...dont waste ur sniper bullet on the building if u can get in..use pistol on master control (unlimited bullets)

just my first day experience...

sneaking behind or side of good driver/engi wont do u any good unless u r engineer/tech packed with all sort of c4s

do take notice of area inaccessible by vehicles, they are very good to shake off vehicle and take hits at them (dont get carried away - since u will need to hit them a lot while they only need a few good shot)

once u died, just get engi n lay mines on those tunnels (ur getaway for ur sniper as well as protecting base)

setting up random mines around where u snipes also help in fending off nasty infantries...always nice to watch them blown up while they strafe around wondering WTF.. (dark area, not easy to see a mines if they r carried away trying to kill u - but i guess someone will learn about this tactic soon)

if there are lots of vehicle outside trying to overrun ur base...with ur tunnels mined, get a sniper n go out tunnel n hide behind rock and kill those engi and MRLV and apc and humvees...if someone spot u and come for u..come back into tunnel and change to engineer n lay more mines after those expended ^^

wow..just one day...i find sniper is so nasty... engineer is a must also...

good driver also hot...but hell dont be afraid to strafe n shoot, its very **** accurate... tiberian rifle can kill any infantry n light vehicle rather fast too and its not that hard to hit in medium n short distance...and i find it amazing tiberian rifle can hit long distance too...i took out a sniper with it once with a spray i saw his HP went down at amazing rate but easy to be spotted and die pretty fast

argh i am just tired i donno wat to write anymore... sniper are certainly more interesting than the one in CS...and more satisfying and exciting and it takes a smart one to take her/him down....

Of course it worth it! Usally I prefer the $500 Sniper just because it doesnt attract alot of attention. Example, if your on NOD with that $1,000 Sniper Rifle up in the cliff area. Lets say you see a Medium Tank and a MRLS go for your base. That tank is going to attack you because you can take out that MRLS 7 or 9 shots. However, this can be a good thing if like to have people attack you. Razz

If your the $1,000 sniper your rifle is very effiecent against Buggys and Hummers.

its not worth it in a laggy game
becuz infantry kinda hops around
if u actually play u know what i mean

u will still get some kill but not as many in a non laggy game
