Sniper 'hides' and tips

[Gekko]

Level 50 MKB with a scope, counter sniper, machine gun killer and overall killing machine.

Set it to one shot and work your way through the 30 rounds you have pr clip rapidly, if your Assault Elite is hero status it will, like the high level MKB, keep your aim from jumping when you fire.

If you get rushed, switch to full auto, if that runs out, use bayonet and charge. People never expect that.

Somtimes, if I know I am doomed (people get cocky when finally surrounding the sniper and smell victory) I'll cook of a nade to get the guy who wants to loot my corpse. this is a brillent way to get a proper K/D ratio.

Who needs a bolt action rifle when whole sale/auto slaughter is better, Yay!

I'm not a bot farmer, I enjoy hunting humans.

First priority for me is AT & MG's as they can be tough for non scoped teammates to spot, let alone kill. I'm playing Classic, so no extra zoom for most classes. Then I'll pick off anyone else as long as I can make my shots count. I'll focus on TL/SL's to try to limit their effectiveness with smoke and radios and engineers if they're working towards our tank. Then, anyone left in my field of fire.

I'll find a good spot and try to survive in that general area as long as I can, moving when needed. Accordingly, I only fire when the probability is high for a single shot kill. My goal is to have the other team focused on finding me instead of the cap, the more I can annoy and distract them, the better.

Some photos, of sniper hiding places would be nice though.

A little bit Ego-boosting like the OP did is ok and fun. I still don't take this game seriously and/or would compare E-penis sizes.

Anyway, thanks for the tips. I hope my snipers will take those for granted. Personally, I have never touched the Sniper/Marksman class. To intimidating. I prefer Squad leader and Commander. Not that much responsibility.

Its a marksmen, not a sniper if your consistently using one hiding spot your likely doing it wrong. Especially if your on the attacking team, I usually go with the g-41 as its got lots of bullets, a scope that doesn't obstruct your view as much and lower distance scopes. I usually move in with a squad, let them go first, shoot anyone looking towards them and then advance myself. Getting in the cap is a big thing as its unlikely the defending marksman is in the cap, so your giving your team a +1 manpower advantage. Then got to the back and snipe their reinforcements while moving every shot or 2. This will slow them down as they dive for cover/wait for you to pop up again and kill a few which is usually enough for your team to cap. Then stay there and keep watching for guys that are going to try to kill your teammates as they exit the cap, move up again once your teammates are a ways away.

My favorite thing to do though, mostly on defense, but it works on some parts of some offensive maps like bridges/Winterwald/RoF/CH/Pavlov and a few others is to flank around behind the enemy and use a marksmen gun that belongs to their team. You can wipe out whole reinforcement waves this way/kill the enemy marksmen/mg/at by shooting them from behind their cover, don't spam your gun though, go for the sure kill to minimize noise. Don't spawn camp them either, only fire when they reach exposed shots that could of plausible allowed your to shoot them your side of the map, if you spawn camp they'll know they are being flanked and they will hunt your down. I've had guys run right over top of me while doing this because I'm shooting towards the objective they are trying to cap, I'm 100m before where they think any of the opposite team should be and I'm firing a gun that belongs to their team. Also, hero skins prob help too. The main problem is that I tend to get tked from 200m by my teammates about 35% of the time, despite telling them "I'm in D7 behind their lines. don't shoot me."
