Ok after hours spent on youtube, other forums, and practicing here is some hints.

General:
Move in slow fluid motions
Stop often and listen
Be stopped more than you go
Use shadows to your advantage. (Ex. If sniping through a window don't just rest your gun on the window sill. Go to the back of the room were there is no light.)
If walking on dead leaves and time isn't an issue, slowly slide the leaves out of the way with your foot. It does make noise but not as much as if you walked through them. (This works best if you are traveling in file formation with your squad. Then everyone else doesn't make noise because the leaves are already out of the way.)
If you hear shots stay were you are. Say they just shot at the bunker you are in, stay there. Many times they think they might of seen something and will shoot to make sure there is no one there.(However don't hide like a coward if you know they saw you.)
Keep your head down. It is the easily most recognized shape of the body.
Hiding in tree's= DUMB
Use hand signals. It is always quieter than whispering. If you don't know hand signal check this out (scroll to bottom of page) : http://battlesim.com/video.html
Breathing is crucial. Here is a technique German's invented and are still using. When preparing to take a shot take a deep breath. Exhale then take a half breath and hold it. Then gently pull the trigger.
Or just breath normally. In the 2 second pause that you body naturally takes between your exhale and inhale breath, gently pull the trigger.
When shooting put the weight on you bones. Muscles shake and move. But bones don't change giving that perfectly still shot

Prone:
Keep legs and heels touching the ground.
If there is a fallen tree/log lay PARRALLEL to it. Then wrap your gun over over the top or side. This causes you to blend in with the log.
When stationary cover yourself leaves, dirt, ect. to distort your image.
Hide in places that may not have the best vantage point or the most protected place. People won't expect this because (to them) it would be a bad snipe spot.
Keep your head down. It is the easily most recognized shape of the body.
Fern plants leaves hang out. Laying under the canopy they make is a great hiding spot.
Most Importantly: Use your instincs. If you get that quezy feelling in your stomach or something seems amis just slowly back away.


More to come later.
Let me know what you guys think.

In order to distort the shape of your head grab some small leafy twigs and stick them in a sweatband around your head or the strap on your shooting goggles. If you plan on sniping in one place for most of a game pick twigs that match the surrounding area.
