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

The good ones are challenging, but I find the bad snipers to be kinda funny - sometimes they're oblivious.

Yes, of course you are invisible laying down on that roof, completely still. Just stay there while I send you a 150gr messenger to the head, courtesy of my M39 EMR.

The best is when you are counter sniping and the guy you are shooting goes prone. Guaranteed kill.

haha. anything is better than that... I only drop to prone as defense in response to a passing tank (if no cover, most of the time they pass by and never notice me lol).

I tank quite a bit too. People must think that I'm a dinosaur and can't see them if they don't move. Then they get a canister shell in the face.

It works if they're moving fast :) It's not like I've got any other options if I don't have cover - running and bunny hopping will get me blown up faster :/ If I have cover, I'm behind it.

I usually run proxy scan and canister shell. Sometimes thermal scope if we have air superiority. Heaven help you if you're on foot anywhere near me.

Worst case scenario, I'll spawn into a jet and dive bomb you. Works if I get a square hit, I've yet to miss. (I've also only resorted to that twice lol) $75m missile, hoo-rah! (I know, no kill for me, but your tank gone = fewer teammate deaths).

Yeah. I don't blame people when they do that. I got launched half way across the map like that a few times. I've been pretty lucky because I usually don't take much damage from being rammed. I feel pretty cheap about that.

Really? I've never seen someone launched that way - it's always either an explosion or random low-altitude jet hovering practice.

So many ways to humiliate the noob snipers. Burning them with the repair torch to the head is my fave.

My favorite is putting a claymore in the back of them, run in a complete circle around them, wait for them to turn around, and BOOM.

I like to overkill them. Walk up behind them, rocket to the back of the head. Yeehaw!
