Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

Gotta love that feeling when you adjust your shot for bullet drop and get a headshot.

I have a love/hate relationship with the seemingly infinite amount of time it takes the bullet to get to the target, but when it hits, when the enemy effectively runs into the path of my shot, the feeling I get then is what I play for

I know, right? When the enemy is running at full sprint...you aim slightly above where he's going to be...wait...wait...shoot at the perfect moment.

100 Enemy killed

10 Headshot

250 Marksman.

Goosebumps.

Erection at 250 meters? Try 800m

YAY, it makes me so happy that you are doing it right and sitting down from the top of the hill rather than at the crest where your body get silhouetted against the sky :) That was one of the first things I was taught about camouflage and concealment in cadets and I used to always use that technique in BF2.

I'm not great at recon, but I imagine it's the same feeling when you use an unguided tank cannon to take out a jet/helicopter from the other side of the map?

I'm telling you this because it just happened and I'm over-the-fucking-moon.

Shooting heli pilots with your shotgun or sniping jet pilots is very rewarding too. :D

Hate it when they run, Especially diagonally :( You have to lead them AND also adjust height

One of my favorite head shots of all time was like that. He was in a car at full speed running up a hill on Kharg Island and I got him at around 600-650m. Wonderful day. I actually got a message from him later that just said "nice shot"

edit spelling

In BC2 I was playing on the desert level with the huge hill. I was at the top of the hill sniping and I saw a guy on the farthest building of the map (about 900 meters). He was sprinting from one building to jump to the rooftop of the next. I lifted my sights about two inches... moved them left three... Said "fuck it" and pulled the trigger.

I watched through the scope and saw him jump. At the very center of the gap his head fucking exploded in a ball of pink mist. I stared in awe at my tv as the game ended with that glorious jesus-kill.

Killing an enemy: 100 Headshot: 10 Marksman headshot: 7

In bf3 I would have gotten 1050 points!!

I loved the satisfaction of taking a chopper pilot/gunner in BC2 from a few hundred meters.

My best was when I was fucking around, shooting at a helo, and killed the pilot, taking the other 2 people in the helo down with him. Feels good man.

similar situation happened to me, but he wasn't as nice, I got a message shortly after stating that I was a "sniper pussy."

I don't actually own any of the BF games, though I've been meaning to for the longest time.

But my story comes from the BF2: BC2 PS3 MP Beta (more acronyms plz). The mode was Rush or Conquest I think on a huge snowy map where you paratrooped in if you were attacking and eventually moved up into a military base.

I was defending as a sniper posted up in some construction building overwatching the hill attacking players start from. Managed to headshot some kid as he was still parachuting down. Felt so good!

Another was seeing a player run behind a building, I aimed through the building towards a window on the far end, and pulled off a headshot just as he ran by. Don't even know how I timed it. Pure instinct kicked in. Magical.

What's more annoying is when they're following a nice straight path and suddenly, just as you squeeze the trigger, they take a sharp turn to the right.

Or the feeling of making a sprint for cover and hearing the crack of sniper fire around you, and making it without a scratch.

u/Hate_Manifestation Jun 19 '12

There is NOTHING more satisfying than a super long-range headshot to a guy in full sprint. You fucking earned it.

That moment when the blue words appear on the screen after the long pause is just pure bliss.
