How to be a better sniper ( video )

Mmm the gun fires twice instantly after he kills the guy climbing onto the oil tower near the start, what with that? Nice video, I always taught there was bullet drop apparently I was wrong!

The M95 just has too thick sights to see what you are trying to hit. It has the most deviation too, so you might miss even if you do somehow manage to centre the target in your crosshair. It hardly does damage to vehicles to encourage firing at them, unless its to finish off someone elses kill (but you can do that with a pistol too).

I know you play best with the sniper youre used to using the most, and for me its the M24. Sucking with the M95 is indeed the players problem, but they shouldnt feel bad about it.

He blew a plane that was taking off, not smoking or anything, with one shot. Hmmm yeah...

He also did 2 easy knife kills which neither of which where very special. Now i know people will say ye you go do it. The knife kills werent special but he seems very good with the m95, then again after seeing vechiles blow up when they arnt even smoking... is he just cheating?

The guy was aiming from huge distances straight to the target's head and made a one shot kill. Either the target was low on health (and he hit it's leg) or my M95 has a badly curved barrel and there is no bullet drop in BF2 at all...

This is not a valid video.

Ok, firstly nice video and I guess some decent tips to people that are new, but to all the people that are wondering about the damage and the knife kills it's quite obvious that the majority of that (there are a few scenes from real ranked BF2 games) was filmed on either a modded single player game or on a modded co-op server.

People need to pay attention more I guess.

It's Teamgod...they aren't good enough to play online, so they play SP with screwed up guns.

he never even said that... he said there's no "WIND" or travel time... there isn't any....

there is however bullet drop...

Edit: Any 'travel time' you may experience... that may require you to 'lead' your target and fire ahead is lag related. It can be fixed by changing a setting.

When in-game bring up the console and type the following command.
"SettingsManager.floatSet GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.1"
Of course the 0.1 means 100ms. So, press tab, look at your ping and replace the 0.1 with a more accurate figure eg. "0.04" (for a ping of 40ms). Remember when typing the command, don't include the quotes ("").

That's not true. There absolutely IS travel time. Notice the delay next time you hit/kill an enemy from long range.
