    Hello everybody. If you are new to this server, or you just want to get better with snipers, here's how to do it! (This is for new players, not the pro's.)

    Step one.
    Step one is probably the easiest key to sniping, finding a great spot. Yes, there are bits and pieces of the map that normal people would camp at, but why camp somewhere where you could get your kills stolen? If I were you, I'd find an original spot that is possible to get as much kills as possible. Somewhere that would make it easy for you to hit them, but not easy for them to hit you.

    Step two.
    Step two takes a bit of concentration. Once you're in your "master spot", you have to shift, and look for other people's name tag. Once you find a name tag, you have to move slowly out of your spot, still keeping your icon on the name tag. In case you're new and you don't know, the icon is the "+" symbol in the center of your screen. Keep that on the opponents name tag, and you'll be aiming at their head.

    Step three.
    Jump out of your spot, and pull the trigger on your weapon. Remember, the icon should still be on the name tag when you fire, so it would be an ensured headshot.

    How to use the snipers.
    As you all MAY know, there are six different snipers in the Mc-War community.
    1. The l118a (You spawn with it when you join the game).
    2. The dragonuv (Level 8).
    3. The barret50cal (Level 16).
    4. The msr (Level 27).

    5. The l120_isolator (Level 36).
    6. And finally, the disassembler. (Level 41).

    In order, I will tell you how to make the most out of the newer snipers, and how to prepare yourself for the prestige ones.

    Number 1, The l118a: This sniper is probably the weakest sniper in the entire game. However, this won't stop you from getting an instant kill every time you fire it! In order to insta-kill with this gun, you need to have precise aim. Ever heard of multi-tasking? That's sort of what you need to do with snipers, except it's more difficult. You need to concentrate extremely hard when using snipers, or else BOOM. You die. You need to be aware of where the icon is on your targets body, or else it could end up in your destruction. If you hit their legs, they live. If you hit their chest, they live. You need to hit their HEAD. This will pretty much ALWAYS give you an instant kill, unless you either lag, or they're using a perk such as juggernaut.

    Number 2, the dragonuv: THIS sniper is the third fastest fire rate sniper in the game. However, this means that it's easier to run out of ammo quickly. You need to use what I call the "Saved Kills Method", which I will explain right now. The Saved Kills Method is a tactic I use in game for every fast fire rate sniper. This is how it works:
    You get a headshot every shot you fire (how to do head shots are explained above), in other words, don't miss. If you do miss, you should just wait a few seconds before firing again, to make sure that they don't kill you before you kill them. So basically, instakill everyone until you run out of ammo. Once you run out of ammo, use whichever method you would like to ensure that you survive and conquer.

    Number 3, the barret50cal: This sniper, a semi-slow fire rate gun, used to be the best gun on the server. It was just like the isolator, except it had a faster fire rate! It was instant kill wherever you hit the player, and it was just OP. They changed it, however, to make it more challenging to use. Just place your icon on the player's name tag, and you'll be gettin' kills all night.

    Number 4, the msr: The second fastest fire rate sniper, is also the third best sniper in game for most people (Maybe not you SonicLuke :V). It has a very fast fire rate, which means it's time to use the Saved Kills Method. This gun is one of the easiest snipers to get emps/nukes with, even if it's not one shot one kill.

    Number 5, the l120_isolator: The all time best sniper for most people, has a very slow fire rate and reload time. However, it is one shot one kill, which means it's time to quick scope, which I will explain how to do below. When using the isolator, it is EXTREMELY crucial that you would know how to scope kill quick and flawless, without getting shot once.

    Number 6, the disassembler: The disassembler, the fastest fire rate sniper in the entire game, is the second best sniper for most people. It is instant kill no matter what if it's a headshot, which is quite easy. You start off with 64 ammo, and you get to fire around 24 bullets before you reload. The fire rate is extremely high, around 3 SPS (Shots per second), which makes it one OP sniper. I would use this gun if on a small map, so that everyone on the opposite team would be bunched up.

    How to quick-scope.
    So, what is quick-scoping? Well, I will explain how to do it right here:
    Quick-scoping is the method of scoping (using your attack button), firing your weapon, then getting our of your scope, in an extremely fast motion. This method is mostly used for the l120_isolator, since it is OSOK (One shot one kill). If you're extremely experienced with quick-scoping, head shots, and weaker snipers, you would probably have an easy time quick-scoping with the weaker snipers such as the dragonuv or the l118a.

    How to quick scope: Basically, all you have to do is before you fire your weapon, jump streak to the right, still keeping your icon on the target. While in mid air, scope, fire, then get out of scope into the targets head, and it will most likely be an instant kill.

    Thank you so much for reviewing this guide, and I hope you all have a great 2014!

    GreenPeas method:
    1. Left Click (Zoom)
    2. Right Click (Shoot)
    3. Repeat process until killed, then repeat again on respawn
    But yeah, I like your methods as well :wink:

    Technically, the L118a and the Barrett are the same now, but since the Barrett lacks ammo, the L118a is better. Video doesn't work, but the guide is nice.

    Also, one more thing:
    The MSR has a much faster firerate than the Dissassembler. The Dissa just has a larger clip.

    I'm using the every day technique:

    1. Spot an enemy
    2. Getting into position
    3. Left click, right then left click rapidly
    4. Hoping to have hit the target

    For future reference, that "icon" is called a cursor. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Pretty good guide. I normally just go by the GreenPeas method.
    I liked the section on how to quick scope. Was a nice addition to the overall sniper guide.

    You should also consider a guide on how to use snipers in mid range situations, like standing in the middle of warsong, or in the raised middle area of meltdown. I find that being closer to your enemy and moving quickly has better results than camping from a distance.

    *sigh* I've already done this https://www.brawl.com/threads/7421/
    also some of your claims are false: msr is the fastest firing sniper in the game, camping as a sniper is only ONE play style, ensuring that players with pwn with a sniper if they use it correctly isn't very helpful
    your guide is great, you should probably make it better though

    I honestly feel that this is a verbal slap to @jkzoom. He made the thread, you hated it because he is new to the forums. If you know Mr_Peeko, you would know that he is really good. He has two posts on the forums, the last one was in October. Just because he isn't active on the forums doesn't mean he is a horrible player with no skill what so ever.
    EDIT: Otherwise, I liked this guide. GJ

    Not explicitly to piss him off, but partially. If you would like to respond, I ask that we discuss this via PM as to not start a flame war.

    I won't start a flame war.

    I made this to give MY INFORMATION, I'm not the type of person top copy people's ideas. I had completely forgotten about his guide at the time, and I don't think you should jump to conclusions just because we had 1 argument.

    Good day, conversation over, back on topic.

    guys, I'm not pissed off by any of this, I was just plugging my own work on the matter so that new players could get multiple opinions on different things
    me and tallscot were(and hopefully still are) friendly toward each other, and a rift in opinion on how to be a better sniper shouldn't get us mad at each other
