Ahhh, yes, two of the most exquisite tools for leveling killing shots on the field - the M395 Designated Marksman Rifle and the SRS99-S5 AM Sniper Rifle.

For this thread comment on techniques you’ve used to good effect, post videos of killstreaks, and weigh in on your opinions regarding topics like camping (my 2 cents, camping is the essence of sniping: taking out a target from long range in a place of concealment), Smart-link vs. snapshots, and any other points that will generate tips.

For my part, here is a very good tutorial on sniping basics, and some handling instructions for left-stick sniping.


Enjoy, and see you in the forums!

Use motion sensors to make sure no one is sneaking up on you.
