Sometimes sniping the other team gets preoccupied with taking you out beyond all other targets - its a great sign that you're doing well, but it can spell disaster for the rest of the day. You have to behave a little differently to snipe successfully when the other team is actively trying to find you, and has you on their mind. These are some tips that might help:

1) Choice of cover: When there is an obviously excellent piece of cover, a fallen log, etc, pick something else where you can cover the obvious spot. If they're looking for you, they'll try to think like you, and figure out the best spot *they* would snipe from - meaning every-time they see a fallen log they'll pay it allot of extra attention, and give less attention to things in its vicinity. Don't bother with "hard cover" which would protect you from BBs, its obvious, and when the enemy are sweeping for you, they'll pin your behind it and flank you. Pick somewhere in-obvious, preferably overshadowed by something really obvious. Its allot of fun to watch people advance on what they think your position is, and advance *right past you*.

2) Choice of camouflage: A) Don't put your ghillie suit on in sight of the other team. Wear simple BDUs and keep it in a bag, put it on when your out of sight - don't let them know what they should be looking for! B) Additionally, once they've hit you a few times, change to a different pattern ghillie, or change to BDUs, don't let your ghillie become a liability as you get "field famous" - you can use it as bait as well, later into the game.

3) Choice of tactics: Instead of lone-wolfing it, or going it with just your spotter, try moving 100-200 ft behind a large group of teammates, when they engage they'll have the enemies full attention, fall back and try to flank the battle. Alternatively, keep track of where your team is, get yourself "spotted" with an amateurish shot, etc, and fall back to the group as bait.

4) Choice of weapons: If you've got something support-esque, or at least full-auto switch to that and ghillie-wrap it so that it isn't obvious. If you've been going bolt action in the rest of the game, when the enemy spots you they'll focus on closing the distance as fast as possible, and be unprepared for you to hit back with similar firepower.

Good luck! Sniping when everyone on the other team wants a piece of you is harder, more exciting, and you can take your infamy as a compliment.

How is this counter-counter sniping?

Please remain calm while I blow your mind:

People who are trying to stop a sniper are counter-sniping. If you are trying to stop people trying to stop a sniper you are counter counter-sniping.

Maybe he means to counter being a target to the other team?

This is mainly just basic sniper tips though.

by the way don't try to be to obviouse. I ussually
sit in trees or bushes and don't get found. I kill
about 4 players per game. It also depends on your gun.
if your gun shoots 740 fps like mine it will be hard for
players to find where your shooting from.

In april 1912, in the Crna Gora mountains a young and curious girl from Udine
took a picture of a Bosnian accordionist, Mujo Uzicanin, wearing a strange tattoo.
Mujo was the grandfather of the Man from Bijeljina and the name of the girl was Modotti.
