How to be a good sniper?

Well, go to a server that allows spawn weapons/weapon drops and buy this guy:

And then look for this guy:

Kill him and get his gun which looks like this:

And then you become the invisible god-sniper. With enough experience, you become "unkillable."

NO SERIOUSLY NOW:
If you really want to snipe like the pro's, play in a sniper server first. You might get killed a lot at first but don't get intimidated...just practice. Use the 3rd person view always.

Use 3rd person in tunnels like this; you can see around the corner...and you can pop out, make the shot or kill and pop back in to safety:

In a sniper server, everything happens fast...you will die fast (many good snipers come to hone their skills there) and you will be swearing pretty fast too. But you will get adapted to it. It will improve your reflexes a lot. Practice a lot...then when you go to a regular All Out War server, you will feel really quick...you will be getting good kills.

As for the Ramjet vs Pierce sniper rifles, remember that both are deadly. Just pick the rifle that is comfortable to you and develop your skills from there. It's much harder to master the Pierce rifle but the Ramjet is much more easier to learn and get used to. You can make that decision. Remember, both rifles kick the ass.

MOVEMENTS & SCOPES

You must keep moving at all times (unless otherwise you are comfortably concealed!). If you are out in the open, then keep zig-zagging your way around...jump, run left, jump right and blah blah blah...just keep moving. Never walk in a straight line and always keep your rifle pointed toward the bad guys. Never turn your back on the enemy...or you will regret it.

As for scopes, they are meant to be used...so don't be afraid to use them. But it is wise to know when to use the scope. DO NOT use the scope in tunnels and inside builings. The best place to use scopes is when you are out in the field. As you practice and gain experience, you will find that the scope is pretty useless and you will be making kills at long range without zoom.

You must stay hidden too. And speed is key. Never get comfortable with the scope. Find a spot to hide, look for the enemy, zoom in using scope or just aim for their fat head without scope, make the shot and get the hell out of there. Just keep moving.

You will learn more tricks on your own as you play the game.

P.S. Goztow made an excellent point about FPS lag....they really can screw your aiming. Get a good computer and a good internet connection and use a good mouse. These things make the game more fun to play. It sucks that I only have a good mouse. My computer is trash; probably the reason why I gave up "visible" sniping and settled for the n00by SBH sniper job. Peace. Big Grin
