Mao Valley map bug

At the supply dump, when the chinese start,

i was in a squad and requested sniper kit.

It said not any left which was funny since noone else requested a thing and there was like 46 ppl in the server.

Well i was spamming g and I picked up a USMC m24.

And I went on that round to 330-14-2 as a sniper.

i got 96 points for a 250 yard headshot on a squad leader.

This was kinda bad since I owned a whole squad who were prone in a base and kept reviving.....

Is this a kit limiting bug or map?

never had that problem before, and the sniper is weird like that, sometimes you just get small points and sometimes you get rediculous amounts

Yes, snipers do seem to get more points. I once got half the deaths and twice the kills (+ more teamwork points) of someone else. But he still got #1 and I #2 because all of his kills were sniping ones. Maybe accuracy or headshots figure in somehow?

They do. If you hit someone while they're running at 100 yards.. major points.
If you snipe someone out of a vehicle at over 100 yards... major points.

Skill shots.
Now.. hit a commander in the head while he's running at over 100 meters... you might as well be the quartermaster and issue yourself points as pleased.

Or, you kill a commander at 500m and the commander has a 1000/0 K/D ratio and he is in a jet. (I guess you'd need a good shot with the m95)

THEN, you would get some points.
