Sniper School VII

[@Pvt_Brain_Dead]

Man i used to watch this videos all the time like 8 to 10 years ago when I was always binge playing BF2, still play it from time to time but damn this brings back memories.

[@rukinaa]

I can totally agree with this part but what I dislike the most in the newer battlefield games is the "spotting", you can see red dots and tags all over the place while you kind of needed some decent eyes in bf2 to see some of the guys hidden, But thanks for your opinion sir :)

[@ryandpahl]

I think BF3 has increased sniping on all levels. You can now pick a good rifle AND a good scope. You can shoot further than 400 meters consistently. The optics are more true to life, the ballistics are more true to life. The increased detail in the levels makes it easier to use stealth effectively. Overall I would say sniping improved in BFBC2, and then got even better in BF3. I hope they continue this upward trend for BF4.

[@Relleke53]

I agree with Snipe, You've made me a muuuch more efficient sniper after watching all of these, you've really been helpful and it's really great you took the time out of your day to make these for us.

[@alchyblue8031]

those parachute shots are sick

[@ryandpahl]

+Viva La Internet Thanks, those were taken a long time ago in a game far far away.

[@PseudoNocturnal]

Excellent video mate. Just bought BF2 a month ago and it's now my desired goal to become a really good sniper so this is a huge help.

[@SaultyevilandJetson]

Your defenetly the best sniper i've seen, except for the ones with aimbots. Also, your guides are the best sniper guides i've seen, they've helped me become a better sniper :).

[@rickau]

this has been the only real problem i've had for a long time, trying to get the timing down on lateral movement at a run - helped me quite a bit there, thanks a lot :)

[@rukinaa]

I can't beleive I came across this video again haha, Awesome sniping tutorials you made back then and they are still great for beginners because these rules still count on most decent games! But anyways watching this again reminds me of how great and amazing sniping in bf2 was.. So I have a question for you ryan, Do you like the bf3 sniping more or do you still think like me that bf2 is way way better when it comes to sniping?

[@ArchDrake]

first off, greetings all the way from Singapore.. All I wanna say is, you made me a better sniper.. I always loved being sniper class in BF2 from e start. The problem is, I always had a 1:1 kill-to-ratio or even more deaths. But after viewing all ur videos, and with some practise, I am getting unbelievable results! Now i average at at least a 10:1 by being patient, maintaining good concealment (most imprt for me!) and constant relocation! RESPECT MAN! You're t3h 5h1t!

[@ProblmSolvd]

ive watched all ur vids 5 times over tho i ddnt need alot of help when i first started, finding out that the game has bullet drop really helped but yeah, your vids r the best ever any genre, just the clear understandable voice over really puts you up there though i never use anything but the l96a1 or the m95 in servers with vehicles (mainly air vehicles) thanks for the help dude :)

[@Draxel]

Very informative, I was always woundering how you saw through the scope right after a shot... Also, I realised that the lines on the sides of your scope have a function! Excellent work.

[@Rapidpanda1st]

May I add another important tip for snipers: If your going to camp out on top of a mountain, hill or even a small mound, do not sit right on top of it. Your body will be an easy target against the sky or background. Just a few steps down the front of the hill will do it, you will almost perfectly blend to the textures :) P.S. ... 9:19 ... pretty sure he felt that one :p P.S.S ... Parachute shots are the sweetest

[@EscapedConvict2007]

this gotta be the best sniper tut i've ever seen, really good work.

[@Silencer84]

I love the series. I just got BF vietnam. I say it's a better sniping game that BF2, you have much more reach and precise weapons. Great series!

[@finjasa]

Another helpful video from Forhed Stone sharing valuable knowledge. It would be better if you included shots on laterally moving sprinting units. You can't always wait for a target to run out of stamina or change directions. Oh, and a comparison of the rifles' abilities on moving targets would be awesome. Still the coolest shot I've ever seen is on the VI vid where you shot a guy on a boat that's moving laterally. Just amazing.

[@jaylaw91]

Awesome! This is of great use to me. I've been waiting for this to come out for a while. 10 minutes long! This is awesome. I've been on the Sn][per group servers a few times, never seen you on though, ah well. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@averageconsumer0]

pretty good sniping men, this game never gets old

[@hageman96]

Thank you sir! I was on an I-T café today and i played BF2. Thank you for helping me to be a better sniper player :) 5 star

[@shintopig]

This guy is very professional. It's like he's a real sniper.

[@elurocks13579]

I'm still working on hitting moving targets but thanks to you I make much more kills. Thanks mate!

[@albelnox99]

"but with alot of practise u will become successful." I love that!

[@Loggerz23]

man... thx for the vid man.. i already watch all of ur vid 4 times.... and i become a good sniper now.. thx again.. 5 stars, subbed..

[@ImNewbeh]

Hey, I would like to thank you for your movies. I was never really good at sniping in any game, but thanks to these movies it starts to work. I just can't manage to get the sentence "persistence is the key" out of my head. I really hope you make some more movies, and I hope I can play with you someday. Would be an honor ! Kind Regards, Elite_Shadowman

[@Meerchi]

veerry nice vid thanks a lot dude. it just took me 3 years to discover these great tuts ;)

[@gregoryogan]

Hey friend! Dont worry about those guys who doesnt know the feeling to be a Sniper on BF2 And thats what happen when you share your experiences they get jealousy like they cant take it your probably better than they are... about me im still learnning and gettin better thanks for sharing your experiences and nice shots you did

[@BloodWolf2k7]

8:40 is the best =D i got a headshot from a moving chopper... was the happiest day of my life =D... but dude... u truly are the sniper god... :P

[@konY913]

This is imo the best long range sniper school series ever...Good job and thanks for sharing with everyone. Btw you are an awesome sniper. I've tried sniping a lot on big map, but I miss every shot (literally) and I've had this game for a while now...anyway I was wondering what server do you game on nowadays? Maybe we can game together sometime and you can guide me...PM me if you feel like being my teacher. Again, Good job sniping and Nice tutorials

[@rrrohan2288]

lol this guy has the perfect voice for somone that does nothing but play bf2 as sniper all day

[@mjnaushad2000]

Thanks man...your videos really improved my game.

[@TechTomToday]

thanks to ure vids i have got the sniper awards and medals

[@ryandpahl]

Whats even better is scope glare on the night maps.

[@twitch5000]

6:26 been that driver before when the gunner gets his skull vacated...kind of a 'wtf im gonna die' moment

[@Swedishhunter]

Note on the ranges, are you sure it was 350 meters? Sharqi is a very small map, even at 64 players. It's about 150-200 meters from the Constructionsite to the TV-station. And that's pretty much on the edge of the fogeffect.

[@borgshadow13]

danke für die tutorials, die haben sehr geholfen xD du bist echt hamma gut und die vids sind gut gemacht , respekt xD

[@smokey_mcbong]

You make very impressive and informative videos, mate. I have a question though. What level of sensitivity do you adjust your mouse and do you change them consistently with range, or do you just stick to one standard and work with it. If you do change them consistently, do you know a quicker way of doing it rather then having to go to the options menu all the time?

[@binboyuk]

YES! thank you for another gr8 sniper school keep it up your GR8!

[@FlorianSenn]

n1 very skilled sniper :D i've played bf2 a lot and my fav was sniper and medic... now i'm playing bad company 2, heading towards the sniper unlocks. altough your tutorials are made for bf2, they also apply for bc2. there's just a heavier bullet drop and the bullet velocity is lower. but still the same fun to shoot running ppl's head :D do you play bc2 too?

[@ryandpahl]

Not sure, good sniping is a mind set. I made these movies because I noticed a rather low level of skill in the snipers I was killing. I like to think of sniping as playing chess on a checkerboard. Your enemies are moving around in a very simple "single move" way, while you are planning out "complex moves" to flank them. Sniping requires a higher level of skill to be successful.

[@chrisgoudy1]

after rewatching i found the answer to my q. Great videos man,very helpfull.

[@ZeroTheUltimate0]

Wow. I never knew battlefield had such an intense physics engine.

[@leralon]

when the dude is running put the first dash of your scope on him, for the M95 put the edge of the top line on him

[@tedkata543]

@zoidberg96913 Yeah they're used to hit where you aim,but it isn't like that in bf2.

[@double2echo]

always aim a quarter mil on a moving target.or if if its at a farther distance half mil or a full mil.

[@borgshadow13]

great movies !!! you know what you're talking about !

[@DavySigfusson]

Who doesn't hate it when your only 50 meters away, compensate for the slight drop on a standing enemy and don't even get a hit, when the target stays completely still the whole time. I have a pretty shitty connection because my network cable plug-in got damaged somehow and now it doesn't work :C

[@ryandpahl]

That why I only play on HC servers, because I hate that sci-fi stuff as well. I'm not a fan of the scope glare either, specifically how it is ALWAYS visible and has nothing to do with the suns reflection. BUT, its better than the tracer fire from BFBC2 that led you right back to snipers hide, because you have some control over the glare.

[@hitnrunner303]

Nice video dude a great tutorial for someone reletivly new to the sniper kit (That actully uses the rifle)I've noticed somthing odd, When I aim for stationary targets I always have to end up aiming higher at 200M for example than sombody whos running across the screen and when I aim the same elevation as sombody I would shoot while there running when their stationary I get body shots. Could you explain that? (Yes ive seen some of those in your vids)

[@baseballtryne]

Great thing to upload, I really preaciate it! Great vid!!!!

[@brotzo1]

Thanks for the videos they realy helped. I hit a jumping targat and then i hit a target through the fog... I WAS SOOO PSYCED

[@Xoxaloacetate]

is there another alternative to "seeing where the bullet hit" when you dont see it on low end video cards?

[@leralon]

do you show a vid where u show vantage points? cuz i can never find any good ones and when i watch ur vids you find the places i would never think of

[@WIhiskeyIMike]

Did the bullet at 1:19 drift to the right, or did you just move the cross hairs away from the point of impact?

[@Daemeon93]

At 0:33 is that background music from the 1993 movie "Sniper?" I'm pretty sure it is. lol

[@Cundall077]

hey m8 i watched all ur vids ur great but how do u know how many meters away they are from you?

[@Evangames88]

i gota question for ya when i snipe people in jeeps and i am using the m95 sometimes i get just a hit marker not even a kill should i be aming a little ahead or is it just luck?

[@viccolfari2canibals]

hello, having a lot like these instructions on the snip, made you one for battlefield 3?

[@golden290]

is sniping school the only skill that you help people with or do you do others such as airplanes?

[@MrCrunchyMunchy]

I've considered being a sniper, I really enjoy being stealthy and stuff so I'm just wondering, a sprinting target at 400 meters looks really hard, do you think that if I practice enough I can hit the target?

[@morrowind2500]

@ryandpahl were you a sniper in the military just curious cause your very intrested in being a sniper

[@iRockZ.]

just a question about aiming... how do u know how many meters the target is away ? just practice or a feeling?

[@ext3reme]

I have the basic sniper combat medal but can I instantly move to veteran sniper combat or must I comblete all basic medals before I can get it?

[@timde0nl1234]

snap shot tactick is olso a good tactick at short range but it take a lot of practice (very good lesons)

[@blender3dPy]

I wonder if there is a difference between patched and non-patched version of bf. I mean bullet travel time etc.

[@finjasa]

You should have done the video two parted, like Part VII - A and Part VII - B or something :) I'm sure people would love to see all the stuff you took away. Or make a special episode with "Deleted Scenes" or "Unseen Material" :D Personally I think that shooting from a chopper is more difficult because of the BF2 code, not because lack of skill. Many shot there you had the guy dead on and even a puff of smoke but it just didn't register the shot.

[@roflman]

How much of a factor is latency in target leading if i may ask?

[@ryandpahl]

@viccolfari2canibals Coming soon...

[@Memocard22]

is the 50 cal just in the main game or expansion pack?

[@BlazingsNL]

Awesome, I always suck at sniping even though I try to compensate. Maybe I compensate too much or something, but this is going to help me a lot =D

[@catalyz9]

how do you hold the trigger? is it by not releasing the fire button?

[@run000]

These videos are very helpful thanks!:)

[@LeafMaster510]

@ryandpahl this is third sniper, right?

[@phi772]

in my opinion is wake but dalian , dragon valley ,kubra and fushe are great too.

[@misteriesmoon007]

Tnx that you make this video... I have learning from this video :D

[@InstinktiveEntertainment]

do i have to compensate for the wind to?

[@minifratellijames]

how do you get the L96A1? and when i finish a round and i get promoted or something i go on bfhq and im still private, what do i do? thanx

[@JXNLOA]

Please answer, what sensetivy u use? I just can find good sensetivy.

[@Outland9000]

interesting question, personally if i did not have the L96A1 unlock i would use the M24 for pure accuracy, but only because of the better cross hair. I find that people can completely dissappear behind the .50's fat cross, but sometimes it seems to hit them anyway, i have definately had one shot kills with the .50 that really should not of been :D.

[@ripperu]

is the M24 more accurate (long range) than M95 please reply

[@Seraj33]

The coolest thing i ever done. Was emptying a full 3 man buggy while it was driving full speed towards me. 3 shoots 3 kills 1 death... the buggy ended up hitting me

[@ext3reme]

I have 1 unlock left and i could open mg36,scar-l,jachammer, dao12 or f2000. So what should I unlock?

[@Tislamb]

is there still bullet travel time on bf2? or did it disapear on the 1.41 patch?

[@zammeez]

i hate when you lead your target and they have the sudden urge to go to the left or right or just stand still...

[@forgetthisname]

Gotta love the Parasniping and Helisniping :3

[@minifratellijames]

thanx but why dont my stats get updated when i get promoted ?

[@Gamerdude330]

I would love to get this I saw a comment that you no longer play but if I pick up the complete collection can anyone tell me how many people will be online

[@TOGXCalibur]

Did you see the movie "Shooter"? ryandpahl's Sniper School IX intro is awesomely close man! Respect! Good video's.

[@ss33988]

dude i love your stuff

[@LKskateNC]

whats the most annoying running technique u seem to encounter while sniping?

[@run000]

The svd is semi auto and doesn't do very much damage so yah it takes about 3-4 shots.Infact because of the SVD i now have veteran sniper.

[@InstinktiveEntertainment]

what moue sensitivity is the best for sniping in this game?

[@puresnipes]

yo, you have some very nice videos man. my sniping skills have gotten ALOT better because of you, and i owe you for that :P. the only problems i have now is hitting moving targets in the head or in a boat, helicopters im not even gonna try yet. you think you can help me with that?

[@mistaUHOH215]

It's better than using a grape! Especially since hitting watermelons 800yards away is like shooting a pen stuck on a wall from 75meters away.

[@jens9304]

oh. what settings do u have? plz answer :p

[@ElBreadDoge]

at what graphics do you play and resolution?

[@Swedishhunter]

Very nice ryan, good job!

[@dutchmen2]

thats some sick sniping man

[@SNAKECroatia]

to unlock tier 3 weapon i must buy all tier 2 weapons right?

[@wolf56244]

how do you get up to some of your spots like in 2:00

[@InForm__]

hey whats the server called sniper group because im a OK sniper lol but i want more tips from ingame
