I'm a bit of everything. If the team I join sux, the I defend, and take out as many as I can. If the team is strong I'm up there giving snipper support, if the teams are evenly matched I'm off hunting finding the best spots, blending best i can try to use camo to ots fullest.
I wish the maps had more hiding placed, like the bombed buildings in MOHAA maps, I'm learning to make my own maps, to create the ultimate sniper playground one day. Some custom maps work well for us snipers.
Tell us your sniping stories tactics, news, link, etc. Are there any sniper only clans?

I am the same way mate.  I follow the post you made to a T.  One shot one Kill.  I can usually end up with about a 12 to 1 kill ratio if my team is decent with points in the 50-70s.

Sniping is an art.  Mid air takeouts the best.  Leading the enemy and trying to maintain a 1 shot kill ratio.  

Many people bad mouth snipers, but I like the gun and I love to snipe, so I will continue to defend my flag in this manner.

I just wish i could snipe...

You must of seen the movie Enemy at the Gates, if not it's a must see for every sniper. Killing a moving target is very rewarding. but taking out another sniper with out him seeing you is the ultimate prize. I user shot gun as my no.2, what do you use?

I’m not patient enough to be a sniper so I don’t really snipe.   I find snipping a little boring when I’m snipping and inevitably get too close to the action for some fun, then die because I’m not outfitted for it.

I have nothing against snipers.  It sucks when you die to them, but no more than dying any other way.

If I’m just running around behind the front line, or somewhere else that I’m not expecting to get hit, and I’m sniped, yeah it sucks, but at the same time, I shouldn’t have been moving in a straight and predictable line anyway.

If I’m sniped at the front, well, it’s a death, just like any other.  Although, I think snipping at the front may be harder on some maps than others.  It’s pretty easy on desert RMGs, for instance.  Because everyone at the front is jumping around and running behind cover anyway.  While off the front or in lonely areas, people are moving much more predictably and not expecting it.  As I said, though, that’s all coming from a non-sniper, so is just my impressions.

Respawn snipers are very annoying, but so is anyone that sits in your respawn area and picks you off constantly, so clear them out of there.

I need to clarify something.
In team-based games, there are snipers.
In DM, they're called CAMPERS for short. Or d@mn fvcking n00b lame rat bastard son of a b1tch motherfvcker campers.
I've heard that and more.
I don't like the sniper rifle. That doesn't mean I don't like those who use it to defend their position and their team. I like snipers. It's campers I hate. I love it when I get the flag/briefcase and i get one in the head out of nowhere. Skill rules. In DM, the sniper rifle gets you nowhere. Get moving and look for a rifle, or I'll find you and kick your camping @ss!  

I sometimes try, the only place I have had success is in the jungle map in the camp tower, apart from that give me an AK.

Im a poor sniper
