By the way, can anybody tell me how the hell you actually hit anything with that damn sniper rifle? I can't hit jack!

The way ive seen some snipers perform, i honestly think it would be a good idea to include a melee action with this kit.

Seriously, I run off the map - pick a place to hide, angle up a shot - now about 15 minutes have past since I got the kit - and wait. 5 minutes later I'm still waiting. "I am a stone, I am a ... bah! So, what you been doing this weekend?".

Then somebody finally strolls into my sights, I'm starting to feel very macho, knowing nobody knows where I am, aim, wait and then fire. Just as I am about to relocate I see that the little brat is still running and bunnying all over the map and thats when you hear 9 consecutive shots and a bush swearing like its a sailor.

Help!?

You mean the ones with perfect accuracy reguardless of stance, whether the operator is moving or not, or, infact, if the user is in the middle of a jump.

And that its a 20mm weapon with negligeable recoil, and, for no apparent reason, if fires tracer rounds which rather removes one of the important aspects of sniping, stealth.

Yah. real perfect.

Aim for the stationary targets before moving onto the hyperactive?

Tried. Hmm - I need a volunteer. Who volunteers to stand still long enough for me to get the aim?

Teammates. Get 'em while they're down.

LOL - Now theres an idea.

I remember one practice on HX closed server where I stod stationary on Square (EJOD) while they tried to snipe me from Gas station. Then I had to run back and forth like a duck in a shooting gallery. It worked wonders for them, but when I wanted to get a chance, they all logged off to go public.

Sure they didn't log off when they heard you speak?

LOL - I was coaxing them while they where shooting at me over TS. "No, to high. To low. To much to the left. Closer, but still left. Dead. GJ. Try again"

So that's what I've been doing wrong. Thanks!
