Some Sniping Tips?
Hey, it's BlackxJackZ and here are a few tips that I use during sniping in pubs and cw's.
1. Know your ability. Don't be peeking a tiny crack that only gives you a fraction of a second to react and shoot if you can't. Stand a little more outside, where it gives you time to react.
2. Know your weapon. The awm (My fav sniper) is one of the best snipers to use. I know about how much time it takes to reload, therefore knowing when I'm in a firefight, whether I have enough time to reload without getting shot to hell, or whip out my secondary and fall back. Knowing weight comes in handy too, when you know how long it takes to run from your current position to the site the bomb is planted at. That way you can sprint with your knife/secondary, or if your close enough just walk with your sniper.
3. Know your position. Know where your camping, and what counters it, and be sure to watch those points. For example, on Eagle Eyes's A site, there are multiple counters to attack it. Tower, Mid-A, Long A, GR-A, and a little bit from B site. Be able to watch those, so you won't be surprised.
4. Know your enemy. If the same person keeps killing you from 1 single spot, you should start to catch on that he's gonna stay there. Knowing that, find the most efficient counter. Also, if your enemy is a decent quickscoper, and your not, know not to get too close, and try to catch him off guard.
5. Know your team. If your a mediocre sniper, and your a GR on Black Widow, sniping long A unable to pick off any BL, call in your teamates with the radio command "Z3" to report that enemies are coming. Hopefully they'll pick off a few and support you.
That's all I am willing to type because I'm tired. Hoped it helps! Thanks

thire no sniping tips..you build your skill up by your own..everyone skill is differnet from others..
The fundamentals? Like knowing your ability. That everyone should know. There are sniping tips. True you do build up skills by yourself, but this is the foundation of it all. -

How useful.
Well I'm talking about if your in a pub, and just wanna frag out :P, I could post a clan war one but...meh. -

Sounds like you're trying to say cw's are anything more than pubs...
Well, there aren't many differences, except for the fact that your clan is depending on you, so , I would add how to cover your team mates "Blind Side" and when to either push forward or regroup with your clan. -
Here's another lil tip :P Remember, when your opponent is in the air, they are almost defenseless considering their aim is way off when you fire in mid air. Taking that into consideration, if you can hit them before they land, you have the advantage also assuming you actually get reg. =.=

The only tip I can say is to never pratice in Prison. It's nothing but tryhards and laggers.
Best way to practice is Temple Ruins Escape. On GR, just camp on the roof and try sniping people before they jump in the portal. It helps on aim and reaction.
On BL, camp on the far left side at the beginning of the tunnel. Snipe people before they jump out the windows. This helps on finding the center of the screen and is fairly easy.
I started sniping a few weeks ago and I can now go (20-30)-(0-5) in most escape modes. -
There are no fundamentals. You build your own foundation.
Learning sniping from someone else will just taint your fundamentals and knock stones off of your foundations. ^Simile.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, I'll try to forget what I just read so my sniping stays pure to me and myself only.
