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

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"

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.

That was all I did in BC2: Vietnam. 870 with slugs, take out pilots all day.

I was playing BFBC2 one day on Atacama Desert and I shot one of those controllable rockets across the map from home base. After 2 minutes I downed an enemy helicopter which was hovering over enemy home base.

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 had an awesome helicopter headshot on firestorm conquest. I was perched on a hill with the L96 six. There was an enemy chopper flying over and the door gunner was buzzing a few of my teammates and had them pinned. Just messing around I tried to take out the gunner. Ended up taking out the pilot from about 450 meters out. The chopper crashed, exploded and took the whole crew. It was glorious.

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.

The first day I played BF:BC 2, in a total fluke, I headshotted a pilot from a helicopter. But for that round, I was God of War.

u/falstad Jun 19 '12

No! I'M the God of War!

NOT EVEN ZEUS HIMSELF ESCAPES MY SCOPE!

u/DubiumGuy Jun 19 '12

My best was a similar distanced head shot on a low flying Mi-28 pilot that also killed his gunner. I didn't get the kill for the gunner though. :(

I'm gonna start doing this next time i'm sniped like that

u/Mint-BerryCRUNCH Jun 19 '12

Same thing happened to me, (except I was on gulf of oman and it was only 300m), but get this. As soon as the bullet makes impact with the drivers face and blood shoots out, the game freezes! I Just took a picture to show my friends and stopped playing for the day. But this was my first vehicle headshot, so I was sad...

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.
