Getting better takes time, me aswell when i got back to FPS (i quit in the Half-Life era of shooters CS, tactical ops and traded it in for slow moving MMO's, 10-13 years later i picked up APB Reloaded and COD around the same year and thought to get back into it ....it was brutal, having been able to headshot 5 people in 5 shots with the desert eagle and going back to needing a full mouse mat to turn, lift, turn, lift turn and tremor twitches it took me 2 years of shooters to get back to where i was when i where 21 years old, my carpal tunnel syndrome i picked up from too many MMO's didnt really help.
Now i am back to being good, though excellent is another year or so away. Hang in there man, youll get there again!

Quote:- When I started I died regularly to snipers. Now I run in Zigs and Zags, listen for the his of passing sniper shots, and pay attention to fields of fire. If I take damage and I donGÇÖt know where it came from I move, and I donGÇÖt stop moving until I find new cover. I scan the horizon, check my six, and look for snipers.
If its a good sniper, your going to be dead regardless of what you do, if its a bad one and you are facing him while aiming at him and you know he spotted you, or is aiming at you, take a step left or right every second, bad snipers need a couple of seconds to get their aim up, this throws em off but ofcoursr zig zaging works, just dont zig zag in a set pattern.
Quote:- I have not actually run up against very many mas drivers. Seems like carful use of cover, and not letting yourself get pinned down would be my approach.
they are powering up for 3 seconds, aim for the face when they are at half health 2 seconds into their charge up, they will abandon it and run for nearby cover, pre-toss a nade at the nearest cover first or folow trough with body shots.
Quote:- If I have a problem with shotgun scouts, I donGÇÖt know about it. Lets face it. If I get shot in the back of the head with a shotgun I will probably assume it was a sniper who got a head shot. However, I have been trying hard to avoid tunnel vision, even when I am sniping (I use Sniper Riffle and Assault Riffle about equally), so I like to think I am hard to sneak up on. That being said, I did take 6 shots with a sniper rifle at a shotgun scout running toward me across an open field this morning before he got close enough to shoot me in the face. (I consider that an Offence problem more than a Defence problem.)
If you cant hit him, let him come close, prime a nade and hold it, when he is just at his max shooting distance throw it, swap to secondary if he dodges the nades blast a bit and follow trough, takes some nade prime lessons, but ussually as a sniper you will be at a elevated position so you could just walk backwards and toss the nade at the peak...the peak he will come accross in 1 second.
