[-*Burner*-] Sniping Guide
I'm new to this version of the game so you guys most likely don't know who i am. i'm still in Trainee Server but i'll farm tonight so i can play with the pros. but now that you know who i am, lets get started.
1. Weapon Choice
Primary Weapons
M700(default sniper) get away from this gun as soon as you can, its pretty fun but when you're aim is off and you're not hitting the head, you'll get tired of it pretty quick.It has a 10 bullet magazine so that helps. Accurate. But the only down side i see is.....ITS WEAK ASS HELL.
Dragonouv- Used it a few times, it was a good gun. 5 bullet magazine. Accurate. Everywhere besides the limbs are 1 shot kills ( head, chest, back, torso.)
PSG-1 - From my experience, same as Dragnouv but shoots a little faster. Seems a little lighter. i dont know why but for some reason i kill with it why more with the Dragnouv, maybe its it's sexy looks.
AWM - My favorite, where do i start. Only a 5 bullet magazine, but that doesnt matter as long as you make the shots count, here's how. AIM AT THE CORE OF THE BODY. NO NEED TO AIM FOR HEAD. THIS GUN IS POWERFUL. DONT SHOOT THE LIMBS EITHER. ANYTIME YOU HIT SOMEONE WITH THIS AND GUN AND THEY DONT DIE THAT MEANS YOU HIT THEIR LIMBS. so if you hit them and they dont die, whip that pistol out and get a golden headshot.
2. Settings
For my crosshair i use teal and type C but doesnt matter much for snipers. we're zoomed in most of the time. for sensitivity i use 50 mouse sensitvity and 25 zoom sensitivty. here's why : i keep it at 50 because you dont want it too fast or too slow, you dont wanna drag your mouse and you have to drag it 3 times to get to your target and you dont want to move it a little and have your mouse spaz out. and 25 zoom because when in zoom you should have already adjusted your middle of screen to where opponent is so you dont have to do all the aiming while in scope therefore you aim quick = they die quicker = you own. so now that you've got your middle of screen on oppenent you zoom in now since its low zoom sensitivity you wont drag it past your target when you zoom in. so when dragging to your target instead of stoping your mouse you can just zoom in. i like my Gamma at 60 so i see things clear help to spot out enemies before they spot you.
3. Techniques
Basics
Pre Scoping( pre aiming) - Zoom in and put your crosshair where you think enemy is coming but put it a little ahead of him(lead shot) and shoot on sight.
Drag Shot - This is what i was explaining when i talked about zoom sensitivity. You see your opponent and he's not in the middle of your screen so you have to react quick. so you drag your mouse quickly in his direction and zoom in and shoot as you get your scope over him
Intermidiate
Breaking - If you know where your opponent is and you're behind cover. you step out and shoot then go back in( this is not good, you are still for a second therefore you are a esy target) instead of stopping so you can get accurate shot, here's how to gt an accurate shot while not standing still. Step over from cover and now you press the opposite direction to go back into cover and shoot at the same time. when you change directions, for a split second you're standing still while you change directions and thats when you shoot.
Advanced
Quickzoom - Every sniper's favorite, its so fun, ok first you must get an good idea of where the middle of your screen is. i used a dot on my screen when i first started to learn. now that you know where the middle of screen is this is what you do. line your opponent up with your dot and right click then fast as you can without being clumsy. this is good for close range shots when you dont have time to set your shot up
Jumpshot- there's 3 methods of jumpshooting 1,2 , and 3 is both put together in a chain to stand moving and getting accurate shots.
method 1- jump shots are good for turning corners and coming out of cover. note that.
now for the jump shots i'm just gonna right the commands down
Jump>Crouch>Shoot ( all this is quickly. jump, hold crouch in the air and though the whole shot. and shoot as you hit the ground.
method 2- shoot>jump>crouch
method 3 - jump>crouch>shoot>pause or a change in direction>shoot>jump crouch
i'm going to farm for a bit then sleep. i'll finish guide tomorrow morning. tell me if you guys like the guide so far

Honestly.. and not to toot my own horn.. but you should see the Sniper guide I made
http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=45245
There are a few moves in here that you speak of that shouldn't be used all that often. Depending on the sniper or rifler; The jumpshot is the worst idea because you are hanging in air leaving yourself open to a predictable path that will only lead to a +1... in the death column.
Also, you shouldn't be making up your own terms (like breaking) because we all don't know what exactly you are talking about. If you're going to make a guide, you need to make it so everyone will know exactly what you're saying.
And, use BBcode to help grab peoples attention and use things likeand for different topics.
But almost a good guide.
