for sniping? number 1 rule is to find a spot that is long distance and camp, errr i mean guard the area from enemies. The longer the distance the better, by using a sniper you have accuracy and range on them and improve your chances of living.
Its hard to come up with general strategies, you need to tailor your style to the map you are playing and what side.
You has forgottenz about pro AKers.
There are quite a few people in our servers who can take out snipers with AKs. Frustrating as it is, they're rather effective.
And sniping is a learned art, you just have to practice to get a feel for it and do what suits you. I prefer the *ahem* guarding from a long distance style, but running around and pretending your scout is a musket is fun too.
