Agreeded, I am a former pubby. My high rank makes annorgant but many pubbies joined my squads. When I went to your server, man isn't it a different universe! I wish I could find out how you guys peform combat miracles!

Simple: Commanders command and are obeyed. Squad leaders lead and are obeyed. Squad members follow and obey orders. The squads move as a group. Medics revive and heal downed comrades. Rocketeers takeout enemy infantry. Supports resupply and deploy useful aids (IDS). Engineers repair, kill enemy vehicles, and deploy toys. Recons as squad leaders advance cloaked for a squad bomb. Snipers move with and support the squad: destroying deployable toys and killing the enemy. And everybody has fun.

In other words, they do everything pubbers don't.

The simple act of communication between Commander and SL, and SL and his squad is worth all the skilled lone-wolfs you could find on all the pubs.

Play here long enough, and you too will become a miracle.

You weren't keeping your scope on target long enough for there to be any noticeable sway.

**Augustus Gloop** · 02-01-2008, 12:29 PM

When you first scope in, the reticle is RIGHT on target. After that it wanders. The best snipers seem to target before scoping, and then make a minute adjustment before firing.

True. You need to have a kind of a flow -- you can't adjust your scope too much, or in too many directions.
Just zoom in, move a bit up, and shoot for the head. It has to be a fluid motion or the reticle will start swaying. If you aim a bit below their head, zoom in, move up fluidly and fire off before the reticle has a chance to rest on their head, you'll definitely be more accurate.
I think this is in place to stop people from adjusting and fiddling with the scope too much -- just make it a fluid motion and aim instinctively. It relies more on the "flow" of the person, and not their ability to line up two dots.

Ya, there not really combat miracles on the TG server. The thing is someone who is really good can come on and on his own get alot of kills, yet not effect the game outcome whatsoever. There have been times when I am seperated and come across a squad, getting 3 or even 4 kills before being taken down and it means nothing since everyone is revived again within 5 seconds.

Funny video.

I had fun yesterday with a sniper on a pub. I was trying to get silver which I failed at miserably

. I was on FOB server and I put an APM at the top of the stairs. It was classic it blew the guy coming up the ladder up, but also me and 4-5 other team mates. I was swifly punished by all of them, had a -20 teamwork scrore and was kicked

. Then I tryed a round on Camp Gib with the Lambert got to 19 kills and my computer exploded. Ahh serves me right for going recon.

I think snipers are destructive to teamplay simply because if you have to advance on a target, you become useless in close quarters combat. Whenever I have tried to snipe, I usually get frustrated and go back to my voss and rockets. Rockets are just as effective as a sniper rifle plus they can eliminate certain forms of cover.

I managed to kill a guy in CQC with a zeller.

Though I admit it was a very lucky shot. I just centered him on my screen and fired.

HBrutusH · 02-04-2008, 01:40 PM

yeah, I headshotted someone on titan mode as they came around the corner into the reactor room, it was like,"oh s$%t" *bang* "oh wow, I hit him, I hit him in the head with a blindshot! Hey squad come look at this!"

et cetera
