Thread: New to TPG - Just an introduction

SEE 'EM. KILL 'EM.

That's where your instincts come into play. You see one guy dash between buildings, so you zoom in and zero, thinking that his squad mate will be right behind him. Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're not. But half the battle with Recon is knowing and accepting you're going to have to miss out on some kills. I take solace in the fact that when I get my kills, it's usually against someone important/an ignorant squad.

And that's where my downfall is. I get too triggerhappy and want to get kills. Lol I'll try to be more patient from now on and see what happens. Might even try to start to learn how to zero-in the scope.

There can be only one

Lol, I look forward to it. I want to see if your distance sniping can stand up to my Close Range sniping.

It is a learning process. I've been doing it since 2142 days, so I've got it down pat.

Though, I now play Recon differently then most people do. Leave it at, I'm not the kind to sit back and take pot shots.

Dammit, Xav, how are we supposed to keep new members with you coming on to all the new "meat"?

And.....welcome, Joostenn.

Close range "snap" sniping (or at least I used to be - it'll take some time to get back into the swing of it - whenever that is)

We'll see.

Suppression adds a whole new problem when getting in close for sniping. And you don't have the benefit of having had to work with it in BF3.

Hah, is that "fruit punch" what you give to patrons of your night-club establishment before you offer them a ride "home"?
