So i saw all the moaning coming from snipers about the new reticle and how hard it is to get headshots, i havnt sniped since beta and all ive got is an adv sniper.

As you can see in my montage there's nothing wrong.

You might need to Manually switch it to HD btw :)

You aren't sniping at all. Please tell me how most of these shots would not be outperformed by a Rail Rifle? Oh wait, you're inside RR range, so no. RR has much higher DPS at those ranges...

Every time you took an actual Sniper range shot, you slowed down and had to fidget with the reticule because you couldn't recognize where the center was without wobbling the scope around. You basically then admitted to the problem that other snipers are complaining about, while claiming that it doesn't affect you. Very poorly presented really.

no it wasn't the fact that i couldn't find the centre, its the fact i dont snipe and i'm not used to aiming that slowly.

Aiming slowly has nothing to do with finding the center. You were unable to do so without the numerical notice you bobbled Over the head several times very clearly. I have learned to identify such patterns because of the time I've used with a sniper. Imagine how it is on smaller screens where the readout is not legible? What do you use to headshot? Pure guesswork. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

I see people saying this and that is 'Broken' then when it gets changed they moan even more, i just dont get it. But yea about the sniping i think there needs to be more tactical gameplay it makes it more interesting (but thats just my opinion) i only say snipers in the redline is cos tbh thats all i ever see also i died about 2-6 times each battle with a variant in kills from 11-24kills a match, but yea i appreciate your reply and i hope you enjoy the video :) If you ever get your arms and legs blown off, I'll be the first to tell you to stop complaining over such a small thing, because you're still alive. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

Close range only for a gun that's meant to be long range? Seriously, you don't think something is wrong with that? What about a shotgun reticule that doesn't let you see targets closer than 15m? You can still use it to kill, but you can't let them get close or you can't target them anymore. saxonmish wrote: Symbioticforks wrote: saxonmish wrote: I'm just showing you theres more to sniping than sitting around 'camping' i was surprised how easy it is to snipe, i see why people who are new to the game go into it tbh That wasn't sniping. Calling your bluff, you're just arguing the point to get more views for your video. not sniping? kinda is No.. Just because one USES a Sniper rifle does not mean it's magically "Sniping". If you can perform any of these tasks with a Rail Rifle, you are clearly not sniping. Sniping by definition is shooting from an unnoticed location. In all of your shots you were clearly very noticed by the people you were shooting. That is called "Assaulting" not "Sniping". I Highly doubt you could use the gun for what it was actually intended for, which is LONG RANGE engagements. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

It'll only be boring if you have no idea how to follow an engagement. Also: You will then find out how much of the maps are designed to prevent sniping from almost anywhere except the redline. Basically speaking, you'll begin to see how poorly planned out these maps are due to most real venues only having a 5-10 meter gap. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

I'm going to bet that you didn't actually try to hit targets at a distance, nor hit moving targets. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.
