If your just starting to use the sniper.
Aim for the body first.
You're going to need practice to aim for heads.

Get the scope unlock ASAP because that will really help in long range.

Pick your targets well when sniping. You must learn how to predict their movement.

Don't think you go prone on top some hill/crane/building you're invincible with your sniper rifle. If possible don't go prone at all.

Look for targets first then only zoom and snipe. Don't look for targets while in zoom mode (it's harder and makes you a obvious target)

Listen and watch the mini map for targets you can take out, sometimes people spot stuff out that are in your range which you can take out.

Always spot your targets before you fire, that way when he runs for cover you know where he is exactly.

Man you guys are fast at Ranking up. now i barely get 300 points a day, to busy at work.

APM and nades do not count towards the explosives badge
only the RDX counts

for that pin where you succesfully escape the titan.
the requirements are acctually
board the titan , help destroy the consoles and help destroy the core.
but most importantly is NEVER DIE.

maximum resolution?
im using a 19" monitor
my monitor maximum resolution is 2048x1960 or something like that
bf2142 maximum resolution for me is 1600x1200 (although i never tried it)

lolz i want to avoid fragnetics now
yesterday playing conquest , the server was so laggy we were teleporting everywhere
i hope our ranked server wont be like this.

motion mines
god's gift to engineers but also very annoying when im driving a tank.
sometimes i already spotted the mines, so i stop the tank.
I know that if i move the tank even an inch , the mines will start chasing me.

some people already have the 8800
supposed to be released today 8th November.

me used to be a full time sniper,
lost the flare already. Damm pilum, Damm hovertank , Damm walker
its all calling out for me every time i play
(Use me... Use me...)

Gestapo ive done them all
now everyday on the server im whoring the gunship.
taking out tanks and apc
walkers are a bit hard though

Everydying

its sort of like stat padding
you see eng repair get points
AA destroy also got points

and no1 dies in the process
so everybody wins

Assault rockets useless?
you gotta be kidding me because , taking out snipers, support campers and practically anyone who even thinks of camping is so easy
aim-> set distance->press buttan->Receive kills

BTW Davis, just remember that apm's and RDX all can be defused at a VERY safe distance by me(engineer) or me(sniper)
plus one of the kit's netbat can detect Explosives.

The Zeller unlock can destroy APM , RDX , Emp and Motion Mines.

Im also trying to avoid Titan maps
but now i find myself flying the gunship every time a titan map comes up.

and also you guys realize that the EU Gunship its like the J-10
missiles hardly hit it. You compare that with the PAC gunship (missile Magnet)

Oh ya,the people who say the AA unlock is crappy.
just FYI its almost a 100% kill if i don't have my active defense. the missile will track your gunship forever.

Points is very easy,
be SL or commander and issue orders.
you cant imagine the amount of wasted points if you don't issue orders.

I have never seen the need for dogtags,
its always kill first and never look back.

Oh APM and RDX ,
GOD i hate them.
Every time i have to take engineer just to defuse them.
worst is the ones at the vent, totally Impossible to defuse

TK punish Is one of the main reason i dont drive a lot.
even if i do, i really really look at my minimap make sure dont run players over
aside from the tank and transport ,the other vehicles i play i rarely TK.

Besides i always forgive tk, its like reflex for me already.

Actually gunships do have lock on rockets,
it only locks on to air targets though.

for ground targets , i prefer non-lockon rockets, because the target tracking is just terrible.

Raikkonen theres only that 2 camo-rose buttans
and if you find more please dont hesitate to post them.
Q is for general usage such as spotting and requesting ammo-med
while T is for Squad members and Squad leaders to request for commander items such as supplies ETC.
