Yeah but... 2fort.

Nik did a sniper tutorial not too long ago (of course he decided NOT to take up my suggestion that he record it). His advice was to learn to predict where a player is going to move and place your crosshair there- basically, let the enemy run into your shot. this can be rather tricky to learn, but once you get the hang of it it's an extremely useful tool.

Wait, there's people that don't aim like that? :O

Didn't the early days of high internet ping teach you guys anything?

Quite surprised i'm 30 on that.

In my mind, there's three different ways you can do it:

I scope in and predict their movement

I don't scope in until my normal Xhair is on their Head

I scope in and track their movement.

It all works well enough, just need to find whats the good stuff.

I do the good 'ol scope-swing technique. High sensitivity mice are my best friend.

Snipin' ain't dat hard at all
The Expert's Guide to Sniping:
1. Always use the scope. It's not there for you to noscope
2. Always aim at the enemie's face
3. Always aim a few feet in front of the enemy
4. NEVER MISS

I hate it when I have to aim at people from behind. The hitboxes are all wonky. And how in the world does Vulcan Raven have that many headshots? He's not even a good sniper.
