sniper times

[Lotek19]

Allright, i remember when i first got the Zeller, i was very happy and went to go head hunting. My first time with it had to be good on my part, i was in Camp G. playing as PAC at the beggining, i got in that little tower crane type thing and starting looking for guys to get, then finally noticed them pop up. So i just thought of that one show on the Military Channel, Future Weapons and the movie Shooter, and how you got to be mad calm. So i did that. Then i was starting to get on a roll, i went 6-0 in a matter of seconds, then the sniper duel came up. I started to panic then started to quickly/shaky get an aim of his head, then BAM im dead. Then i got back in that tower after spawning and found that same guy, i wasn't going to let him take this one again, then just as i aim BAM he gets me again.....grrr.........this time i try a diff. strategy, i go up to where he is secretly and stab him to his death with a kinfe =p Then go back to sniping, and was killed only 5 times with.......23 kills... Remember this is my first time with the Zeller, and i used it for a bit before the movement was on after capturing Harbor where i used the Baur a bit. Then back to sniping at another stalemate.

Ahh...so any sniper times for you?

P.S. Sorry for my english if it's a bit off, i'm not American..just Russian

I don't remember the times when i got my Zeller, but i remember this one duel with some random sniper few weeks ago.

I was playing Fall of Berlin(as usual) as PAC, and there was enemies dropping to the roof in the crossroads(alley side). I decided to do some roof clearing, i made squad and invited ppl to it. I put beacon near one building in our base. I got to the roof and noticed that there was two guys on the roof and they are both snipers. First guy was static and was crouched near the ledge, and the other was running around the roof.

So i proned near one of those blocks, took aim to the static enemy at first, kill him with easy headshot. After the other guy sees his buddy getting killed, he spots me. I quickly stood up took cover behind the block. I zoomed in with the scope and moved bit to the open from the right side, i see him zeroed in on me and we both shoot at the same time. I hitted him and he hitted me. I quickly move behind the block again.

I looked at my energy and it was in 21, so he has Zeller too... I tought that he must still be behind the block hiding too, so i decided to change my spot, i cloacked and moved behind the second block. I take i quick peak around the corner and see that his buddy has re-podded. I tought s*** i have no change if they both start shooting at me. I was lucky and the spawned buddy didn't know that i was there, i saw him jumping down to lower roof and go prone to the little ledge. I knew that he couldn't shoot me from there.

So i started to stalk on the better sniper, i scoped up and started lookin for him, i spotted him and he spotted me for few times and we exchanged some sniper fire, but we both missed.

I decided to change spot, again cloack on and sprint behind the other block. I waited there for a while before showing where i was.

After a bit i started to scan the roof again. I spotted barrel of his rifle at the edge of the roof and realized that he was on the ledge, so i didn't have shot on him. So i stood up and started to look for their beacon, and found it on top of one of those blocks. I shot it to end their fun on the roof for good(atleast for a while). Then crouched again and started to wait for the sniper to pop up.

Little while went by and he finally got up. I saw him slowly coming behind that block and aiming(apparently to my old hiding spot). I took my aim right to his chest, and when he noticed me it was already too late for him. I finally shot the other sniper from the lower roof and then i jumped down.

Mission Accomplished. :salute:

These kinda rounds are fun sniper times too. :D

I love the Zeller more than i'd love my child, but it's so damn loud. When i have my headset on and the volume high, everytime i fire the zeller, my ear drums want to explode!

On Port Bavaria I was PAC.

I kept on dying to an enemy sniper who I just couldn't see! Everytime I'd use the pods to land on top of something and he'd own me in seconds. I scanned the skies thoroughly but no one was sniping on the EU side of the map!

I start sniping from towards the docks and look back to my PAC base when I hear shots landing on the front of the building I was atop of. Turns out the little devil is on top of the boundary-line cliffs! 304m aimed straight at his head. I aim up about a half body, I fire, BAM! HEADSHOT SUCKA! WHAT NOW? OWNED! The noob didn't even know about bullet drop!

He was givin' me crap about dying to him so much so it was such a great feeling.

Morretti SR4 FTW. Jacked it off of an enemy sniper earlier that life.

Basically this same thing happend to me when i was sniping in one of the oil towers(can't get the name of the CP to my head). Some dude who's name was MickeyMouse or something like that kept shooting me. I tought WTF where is he. He shot me like 5-6 times before i spotted him, i could barely see his head and then he shot me again. So i changed my spawn point and he didn't even see it coming. ;)

Few rounds later i swapped sides and joined him on the cliff, he turned out to be really good with sniper. We both got like 20 kills and no deaths. Then my ammo ran out and i had to do kamikaze jump from there. :D I think i had around 25-28 kills at the end of that round and like 3 deaths.

I've been using that spot time to time to get those 20 kill streaks. :D

Hey, I'm living in Russia atm! Yay someone else from Russia :p

Anyway I remember when me and Stonecold313 were having Zeller sniping duels on Suez. He was on one of those tower thingies, I was behind a FAV for cover. I knew I was dealing with a good sniper so I didn't keep my head up for long. Plus I suck with the Zeller.

So I pop up, don't even aim at Stonecold's head, I aim a lot higher as the bullet drops from far away and I was about 250 meters away. And next thing you know, bam headshot! I know it's not really a big deal but for me it it because like I said I suck with the Zeller.

Oh and I'm not even gonna tell you how Stonecold owned me numerous times from 300+ meters away :cry:...

I was hit before you killed me... But anyways it was a nice shot, from a rookie.. ;)

After those words... I...just...can't...resist... :laugh:

U remember that 400m sniper shot talk while back? I was thinking earlier, that we should test what is the max distance you can snipe someone... What do u say?

:salute:

:salute:

Sure, let's test it. I think the sniping range is unlimited, it's the view distance that stops 500m+ shots.

Yeah, we are gonna act as bf2142 mythbusters.. :D

I was thinking about Bridge at Remagen map, since it's huuuge... And the view distance is better in that...

Let's just go to some lonely server and try it...

*Edit*

We need to forget Bridge at Remagen. I did some testing and this is the result.

I was standing on top of one of those bridge's highgrounds and this is how it looked.

Other words. It ain't gonna work.

So any suggestions for new map is more than welcome...

[D3lit3]

Tomorrow or later today...

I'm thinking Suez or Shuhia Taiba.

[xslaneyx]

lol can i join in and be the test dummy :laugh:

[D3lit3]

lol can i join in and be the test dummy :laugh:

Lol :p if you want to.

[Skates]

Minsk and Port Bavaria you can see quite a long distance on.

[StoneCold313]

Minsk and Port Bavaria you can see quite a long distance on.

The upper part of the map in Bavaria is a no-go for 400m. But im not sure about the lower part... We'll have to try it..

lol can i join in and be the test dummy :laugh:

Watch out that you don't loose your tags while being test dummy. ;)

j/k

We could use some extra marks on the field. :D

[TheDesert_Fox]

Hmm... what about Shuhia Taiba?

I'd offer to be there for the tests but the lag would be unbearable =P

[StoneCold313]

Hmm... what about Shuhia Taiba?

Shuhia Taiba is really strong candidate... Then there is Sidi, Verdun, Minsk, Suez and Port Bavaria to start with...

And there is nothing funny trying to shoot slideshow from 400m.. :D

*Edit*
After playing some Sidi Titan, and doing some measurements. It seems that Sidi is really strong candidate now...

Enough talking! We need to test :salute:

[StoneCold313]

It's gonna be funny see you runnin down the range while i'll try to shoot you. :laugh:

All we need is beer top of that.. :D

[xslaneyx]

any news on when this is going ahead:D

[D3lit3]

Um, we already tested it today with Stonecold, we got 350 meters max, anything farther and it fogs up. We're planning to test tomorrow on Minsk if ya wanna come ;)

[Wizrdwarts]

Aww 350? What about getting a 3rd person with a pulse scanner to give a red diamond, and sniping that? Or does the red diamond fade out by that distance?

[StoneCold313]

355 was the "official" "unofficial" distance, what we managed to shoot.

We should try that one too.

[Wizrdwarts]

Hmm wasn't the longest kill in BF2 like 550 meters? Sad that they reduced the effective range on the rifles. :(

Don't know about that 550m, but i saw video on YouTube where this one dude sniped to 400m.

I have a feelin that you can snipe 400m in bf2142. But since you can't see that far with the scope(atleast not in Sidi or Suez). So you have to improvise, for example your pulse scanner idea could work.

[Rugerdog]

I don't think the diamonds render at that distance, but I could be wrong.

Phew, imo, you could've just thrown a nade at him after the first hit...

Nope i couldn't, he was too far for nades.

[-Spartan`II7^]

Oh, I thought you were on the same roof :S

[StoneCold313]

Nah, if would, i would have knifed him. :D

[fireaxxe]

my zeller problem is that it only holds 3 shots. if a head shot is a kill with any sniper, then the others are more efficiant in that perspective. of course i am not a graet sniper and can't headshot every time but that is my only criticizim.

[OriJuice]

The best I had was at Suez Canal.

I was a Sniper of course, had the Zeller at the time and was just scouting a guy at the top of the Inner Lock (The large building by the flag). I knew he was up there and knew he was eventually gunna jump down. My only hope was to kill him as he either parachuted down or as he was taking the flag.

He jumped

I jumped the gun

I pulled the trigger

And got a head shot in midair.

Imagine his reaction as his dead body flies towards the ground. I didn't even realize I did it at the time; I thought it was some other guy below him. But then he hit the ground and realized I was the only one at inner lock lol.

Another time me and a clan mate decided to try "Rapid fire Zeller assault" where we had our Zellers and we took pot shots at people one after the other so it seemed like a moderately fast assault. We managed, between the two of us twenty kills and 2 deaths. Because each time we never had to aim, the zeller is always a two hit kill.
