Any pointers as how to get the kill from far away?
I am not to good at sniping and need pointers as how to improve
Any1?? :o

Hey, Freedom, I can give you one. Don't try and hit them fromin front. Try to sneek around, i.e.,when you are on Medulla Mesa, say some smoking guy is sitting over by the gate, and you areon top of the big hill. Try to work around to his side, using rocks for cover. At his side, you are more likely to hit him because, one, he will probably not see you, and two, he will be closer than a long range sniper shot. Oh, and if you see a smoking guy heading for a health, simply aim infront of the health, and fire off a full clip. I can usually pick up 7, 8 kills by using those things. Cya ltr and good luck.

Spread your fire a bit from long range. Don't unload your clip into the same spot. If you spray your clip to the left and right of the tank your chances of killing a smoker are better.

Good point, Rogue. I was thinking of putting that in, but I never did. :)

You should also play with the resolution rates of your video card. A higher rate will display the far off trank more clearly and make your shooting more accurate. For example I pegged Supra who was on the very far edge ofthe map, while I was on the very opposite far edge of the map. You could barely even see him. He thought he was safe. No- no-.. I could see him and sent him to the shop for a new tank. You may gain something from clarity. This may also slow down performance, you would need to play a while changing your settings and see how it works for you hardware configuration.

Hey whats up Mumke?

Napalm

Nothing much....kinda boring. I did play Halo 2 for 6 and a half hours on Tuesday. Too bad they don't have some of those weapons avialable on TT, like the sniper rifle...I pegged a friend of mine through the visor of his helmet, and he did a back flip.lol. I think it would be cool to have a "zoom-in" button so you could see people on the far side of the map. "Hello, I have a special delivery!" -Evil laugh- -cough, cough- crap cya all later.

Thank guys I will try to use all those tactics
thanks alot!

Hey if you want to snipe stay still make sure your reticle spot is on the tank be patient and make sure the guy doesnt move thats what I always do.

Use a heavy tank and fire only two shells because the enemy won't supect it.
Plus, change your position from time to time to avoid bombardment.

I use da' heavy 'cause everyone gets intimidated if you have a big screen with a good graphics card and high speed connection to get REALLY cool shots. There should be a sniper damage bonus for killing people really far away.

That and when you hit the brain. I agree on the zoom, how about they make a function where you can switch to the eyes of the brain like a FPS view giving you great aim.

What makes me good at bm is up close. Im good within a closer range. Sniping is my weakness. I really am not good at sniping. Wish I was better. I try and dont get anywhere. I charge but thats not the best tatic. But that is the only way if I want to kill. You wont find me sniping well. B)

There is no skill in sniping,wots the point of it. ;)
