People tend to assume snipers won't miss, when it's far more likely than they think (especially with the general stigma against bodyshots). Use it to your advantage to pin people into shitty positions and let your team do the work.
"Snipers miss, trust me, go ahead and stand in their sightline" You ain't fooling me! But it's true, to some extent. I'd say that div6-div3 you can afford to risk as much as you deem necessary, however from div2 onward I don't think it's worth it anymore and hence why some teams would rather not peek their heads out.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=28627&post=495409 Sat, 03 May 2014 21:59:08 +0200 Reply by 1337Wince https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-28627/page-1/?recent=495409#post=495398 Quoted from kindred
People don't realise this enough - because wallbangs don't exist in this game, your dot can sometimes get more kills than your gun.

I couldn't have put this better myself.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=28627&post=495398 Sat, 03 May 2014 21:02:00 +0200 Reply by Snowdream https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-28627/page-1/?recent=495409#post=495371 Quoted from Carlos Kaiser
[...] I'd say following priority lists is a bad idea, they are just a general guideline, everything is completely situational, a pyro pick is suddenly worth 5 times more if your team is about to push an easily deniable point like badwater first, engi is a really valuable pick on offense and irrelevant on defense e.t.c.
Just because situational picks exist doesn't make general priority worthless. Anyone with common sense can work that out. Quoted from Pistolvania
And remember that kills isn't necessarily always your top priority. Just locking down area is enough in some situations.

watch povs, practice aim. that's sniping in hl.
kind of true, but if he wants help with prioritizing targets, positioning, aim tips etc, a mentor could be good for that]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=28627&post=495280 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:59:04 +0200 Reply by gilad1280 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-28627/page-1/?recent=495409#post=495275 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=28627&post=495275 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:36:47 +0200 Created by Deity https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-28627/page-1/?recent=495409#post=495268 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=28627&post=495268 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:13:09 +0200
