lets face it the i wont argue you cap alot of flags and kill alot of people but if your style of gaming works on the servers you play on then the oppostion are noobs being consistantly killed by close range snipers is a sign that you should not play. i havent capped many flags but i play methodically not attack gung-ho like you my k/d ratio proves it.

Well said. I think Nyte has one of those complexes; because he was one of the first to make sniper vids entertaining he thinks hes still the best. Your far from the best now as everyone has learnt from you and suppassed you.

Damn Canadian *shields himself from the likelyhood of attack from the Canadian BF2s community*. Soz but his nationality had to be brought up here, its a specific attack on a specific person.

Close rangers = fail

People fear those who can turn a noob tube into a noobinator tube. The long-rangers.

I'm a close range sniper and I'm not fail.

4) Nyte's mindset.  You are the sniper-from-hell.  The enemy team dreads your type.  You're the headshot king.  You can fend off a whole squad capping a flag.  You can cap a flag all by yourself in a contested base.  You don't care about your stats, you care about WINNING the game.  You don't know the meaning of "missed a shot".  You don't care what others say because you KNOW you can beat them more than they can beat you.  You ARE the epitome of what all in-your-face snipers should be.

Someone really gets into their game...

Actually, the M95 is damned versatile, try shooting a heli out of the sky with the M24. Aiming it is another story, but like with all the rifles, its about practice.

Who cares what each rifles damage is?

CQB snipers for one. Remember its higher damage means that the M95 reduces all classes down to 2 bars (IF the shot registers properly). With either of the other bolt-actions you only take the armoured classes down to 37%. Big difference when it comes to finishing off with the pistol, especially if you're facing each other; great for SAS parachutists too.

There is a thing called headshots.

Nice in theory but it's a smaller target, and it might be moving too which makes it harder. This is even before you consider lag.

The M95 is actually the worst in terms of accuracy and ease of aim, but it has other features that help balance it out. Just a matter of taste. And personally, having had to use it again a lot I found it's not that bad... although I miss my M24 every time I have to make a tricky shot.
