Battlefield 3

M98B = Magnum
I'm sold.

Even though I didn't headshot a guy, but he died because of health depletion by the magnum rounds.

Longest shot, 602m, Rush Kharg Island. Sniping from the carrier.

I'm very jealous. Though I don't know if I've made a shot longer than my 452M headshot, I think the game only tracks distance of headshots, and not long shots in general.



No, the bullet drop for the L96 is almost the same as the SV-98 and the M40. M98 has almost negligible bullet drop for up to @ 300 meters. The other Bolt-Action's have less velocity, and at ranges of @ 280 meters and up, you'll need to aim the target at around the first tac when using the ballistic scope. This is just for sniping at targets at the same altitude as you, things change significantly when shooting at higher or lower targets, even with the M98

Speaking of sniping: One of my best sniping games yet.

I was using a M98B, with Straight Pull bolt, and a 8x Scope, with no attachments.

There were like 3 guys camping, and they all suck at sniping. (3 of them uses L96, SKS, ad SV98)
Most of them uses Bipods and automatically prones. I even got a Nemesis ribbon.

A few days ago, I was playing some TDM. There was this one guy on the other team who I'd keep getting nemesis ribbons from in 4 out of the 5 matches that we were against each other. It's not like he was bad or anything, he actually had a fairly respectable K/D the entire time. I just happened to be his personal Grim Reaper for the day. I wasn't even sniping, mind you. I was alternating between my MG36, AN-94, M-39 (Holo sight) and the 870.

Sniping in BF3 isn't that hard. Heck, probably the best sniping map is the Caspian Border.. the RU spawn lads can fairly quickly take a spot to snipe the US base helicopter / jet campers (latter only if trees are destroyed).
After a while to get a feel for the bullet drop, landing +950m headshots with single shot using the 12x scope and bipods on the M98B becomes fairly easy.

Longest Headshot 707 m

already posted a link to my sniper thread (wish people would talk there...)

already posted a link... in there or here that shows my best sniper match.

Funny how in rush you can make 2k-4k+ points just by being a good sniper.

anyone can feel free to add me

I can make a good 2-3k just by spotting people with the MAV. Maybe a bit more if I can get a few equipment destructions and MAV kills tossed in.

but spotting is only like 10 points per =/

I was only ever able to get like 5 kills ever with MAV.... still haven't gotten the hang of it...

When I'm in the mood, I'll stay in my MAV for the entirety of the match. By that time, you can earn a LOT of surveilance ribbons, especially if it's your team that's attacking. And like I mentioned earlier, destroying enemy equipment and the occassional roadkill helps flesh out your score by the end of the match. I'll admit, 3,000 points would be hard to pull off with just that, but it's not that difficult to get over 2,000.

well yeah 1k or 2k while doing it all game doesn't sound hard at all.

well I want to get a 1k HS but I can't even see where the bullet lands at that distance

I will miss it and at thesame time I won't. what will piss me off if they add teh ability to runover a guy laying down on his belly. >.> got that happend to me 6 times in operation metro and I wasabout to slam my controller into the ground on how much taht pissed me off.

I'm starting to suck in BF3. :(

I probably shoulda pointed out i only play rush. But to my point, I do know sniper rifles can shoot 1000+. 9/10 people trying to do that are sitting on rock, on a mountain, Just trying to get the longest shot. Even if your spotting, *unless your using soflam* that doesn't help me when im trying to cap the flag, or arm/disarm the m-com, against multiple opponents. I want teamates who got my back, and can give me support, covering fire, revive me. I follow my squad who, are fired upon and i quickly pick off the opponent hiding behind the crack blocks, clearing the path and saving my teamates. People way far back, can't give me the needed support sure i can see all 4 of them, because you spotted them, but odds are i won't be able to take on all of them.

I'm more of a shock trooper in those kinds of situations. I'm good for taking out a few key guys or causing a big distraction, but I tend to get picked off before too long. I'll even arm the M-COMM, if I'm able to. Though, this kinda explains why my K/D is just barely above 1.3.

Had some great knife kills in TDM earlier today. Found 3 guys sitting on the third floor of one of the buildings in Operation Metro, all shooting out the same window. I moved behind them and stabbed two of them back-to-back. The third, who was lying prone on the window sill, I couldn't properly execute and had to resort to quickly shooting him in the head. His ragdolled body then fell out the window, onto the streets.

Well I only do really-long-distance-sniping on wake Island... Though the way I play it changes sometimes. Most of the time I play it at 200m-500m and I usually end up with a good score. Though weirdly enough when I try to play other types of kits I tend to suck due to not having anyone watch my back. It's like my teammates are always dumbfucks.

Just today I spawned inside a tank after a long ass conquest battle. The match was about to end and all we needed was 15 kills... Suddenly our tickets dropped from 40 to 10 in less then a minute. Sadly we didn't win and it was partly because the tank I spawned in didn't leave the spawn... The fucker was too scared to move and just kept going forward and back repeatably for 1 fucking minute.

Another game whenever I was about to capture a base I got killed out of the 8 people capturing the base beside me... When I spawned back in the map would be cap'd not a split second before... or if the flag isn't captured yet and I was trying to spawn in to get it my teammates would be running away from it for some reason. I ended up with a score in the middle. Teammates were the very bottom.

Also do you mean rush on conquest because rush don't got maps but mcoms

I was talking about both, flags for conquest and m-coms for rush. Just covering both modes.

But, everyone has their own playstyle that suits them, some may not like it but you payed for the game, and you have the right to do what you want with it.

Meh, I just got me all the achievements for the 360 on BF3, including the DLC cheevos.
Took forever, love hilarious moments with the Jets and Choppers.

they might nerf the javilin in this upcoming patch. seriously dice? its teh one thing we can use to take down those pesky helis after you had teh nads of drastically nerfing the sams.

if you all want details on what to expect in the feburary patch. here are some links.
