Just remember that the bullet drops (this isn't CoD with laserbeam snipers), and try to judge distances to compensate for the bullet drop. Panama Canal is good, if you spawn as the Russians; there is a little hill that is covered in plants that overlooks D just outside their spawn, and you have a nice overview of most of the capturable area, so you can snipe anyone trying to. Cold War is a nice rush map to practice on as well. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

PoorLepRecon Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Isla Innocentes is the best sniper map.

mcneilp Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I agree with whoever said smoke grenades are underused.I use them when we're attacking on rush and aren't getting anywhere near the MCOMs. A few smokes laid down, either as a diversion or as cover as we find a route in works wonders. For example, attacking rush on Valparaiso after the Lighthouse MCOM where you have to attack downhill into the little village which is quite a sniper heavy point in the map (as well as the TOW launcher which messes with the Bradley). A few people firing smokes down the ridge or at sniper hotspots makes it much easier as they can't pick you off from afar. It does take teamwork though, which unless you're playing with friends can be difficult.

PoorLepRecon Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Like I said, if there was some way to get points while using smoke grenades, I bet they would be a more appealing option for some people. I love using smoke on my vehicles, it can really help. If you put smoke on anything, it removes the tracer darts that have hit your vehicle.

sarg1010 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Isla Innocentes is the best sniper map.Which also happens to be why it is such a bad map in general. Everyone snipes, and nobody goes for the stations. The only reason to play it is to snipe or fly helicopters, which most people can't really do either very effectively.

Overdoziz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Using the guide missile launcher (No idea what it's called) is awesome on Isla. Shooting down a chopper with it is just so damn satisfying.

PoorLepRecon Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've never been able to fly any Battlefield aircraft, ever. The aircraft are my favorite part. It takes time getting used to the helicopters. The planes in Battlefield 1942 were fantastic to use.
