Why to hell the British sniper doesn't have a camoflage net? Or a hat at least? His bold head with his pinky english complection sticks out in the Mestia forrest like a black man on a Ku Klux Klan convention!

tbh, ghillie suits make no difference in PR due to draw distances.

the player models where made before BF2 came out and we didn't even know much about how the bf2 kit system worked then.

its only eye candy, infact its probaly worse for gameplay to have it as you can eaisly tell who is a sniper cos its the huge walking bush.

The MEC sniper looks more like a man in a monkey suit.

A few times I've been hiding in the Mestia undergrowth and enemies have run literally 2 feet straight past me...gets the adrenalin going.

Ambush 1 APC at the dead tank to the west then sneak through the undergrowth very slowly to the second parked at the storage bunker, avoiding the constant stream of troops coming from it.

Whew.

Then I got teamkilled.

Really, playing dead and just staying silent work wonders on that sorta map.
Keep movement (even looking around) to a minimum and only fire when comprimised or if you have a load, running away and in the perfect range.

I would aslo mention that all ghillie suits look alike and most of my fast twitch teamkills come from shooting a sniper because they all look alike at short range.

LMAO great video, I think I will rent that tonight, haven't seen it in years.

That made me laugh so hard, haha. The PLA ghillies are the only ones that can work, thats in tall grass, at short range. Used to go Knifing, John Rambo style on Mao Valley with it

Holy ****, totally off topic I realised I dreamed last night that PR had the map 'Fallen' from PoE last night. No more playing PR till 5am..

Yea, the ghillie suits(with 'natural' uniform camo) only work in dark environments. Which is only the USMC vs PLA maps(aka only Da Qing).

give the brit sniper the medics boonie hat and the support(?) guys bandana and goggles, it should make it harder to see the sniper but you can hear them most of the time anyways

Just give him the medic hat and then leave the poor man alone.

God its fun to hide in that tall grass on Ghost Train while playing support and then mow an enemy squad down when they run past you.

In 0.5 there was a jungle map, USMC vs PLA..I forgot the name - it was really dense jungle..the sniper ghille suit worked wonders there - it was nearly impossible to spot snipers.
