  • if any single video has helped me recruit new people and get high up on the learning curve straightaway, its this video series

    It helped me 4 years back and has helped countless others i have referred here

    For all newbies, this is and should always be a must while it always teaches us experienced folk a thing or two every time we watch it even now after so many years of playing

    Thanks ryandpahl, god bless you mate :)

  • @elvesninja

    Glad these out of date videos are still valid.

  • you should make a tutorial about ambush shots.let me explain:if you see a running or just fast moving enemy(not a vehicle,just a ground trooper),you put your crosshairs a good distance away from him,and depending on the speed of the target,you will use the side cross lines to preshoot,and kill him,looking like the target runs to the shooting spot.

  • @DarkGamerProject

    I think your refering to leading your target so that they will run into the bullet at long range, because the bullet takes time to travel. This is partially covered in part 7 or 8.

  • Rfm!

  • @rickchardet01 yes they do and I am going to rebuttal it too

  • do you/ other people still play this game? im thinking of rebuying this.

  • thanks for reminding me that sniping is not just killing but also not getting killed

  • Some BF3 snipers need to go back and watch this video and apply some of this video to some of there play tactics. Ive ran into too many people who ask me how to snipe well. I tell them well to play RECON well go to YouTube Sniper School

  • @Quay121

    Thanks.

    The battlefield series holds pretty steady. Most of these tips work across all sniper type games.

  • Bf3 sucks

  • I am so disappointed, because DICE had removed ghillie suit :( so you are no longer unseen.

  • @MrMishaJ

    LOL...now they can't call us bush wookies.

  • haha this video is brilliant

  • Man, his spotter must have REALLY pissed him off there at the end, lol

    But really dude, well done vid, thanks for posting !!!

  • Please do a series like this for bf3 it would be great!

  • right about killing the enemy quickly.. cant tell you how many times ive had a face in my crosshairs and it moved an inch and wizzed past his head

  • how the hell did you get under that awning?

  • @xraidedlok

    I'm on the awning, but the game clips you under it. Great spot because its a glitch.

  • @ryandpahl nice! is that in karkland? does it work with the new patch?

  • @ryandpahl and if it is karkland how did you get on that roof to jump down? is that near the square or hotel?

  • nothin better than pickin up an l96

  • When I see a squad in my scope, an assault, an engineer, and a medic, I almost instantly lock onto the Medic and kill him first, this is what it means to "Kill the most important target first".

  • @DudePersonThingMan

    For me its a toss up between medic and sniper. Quite often you will get sniped before you can finish off the entire squad. A smart squad will run and grab that medic kit to start reviving the others. But medic is always a good first choice, because it will keep them pinned down with no easy revive option. Kinda depends on how good their sniper is at counter-sniping.

  • @ryandpahl True, but most snipers aren't walking with their squads and usually are off on a hill overlooking one low-activity building being completely useless. When I do see a sniper in a squad walking with a medic, assault and engineer, I shoot the medic, then quickly shot the sniper, and then take my time on the engineer and assault.

  • what's the map in 1:07?

  • can someone please unlock the L96A1 for me i dont have the money for SF

    

  • I love your opening lol

  • 2:03 (Faceplant lol!)

    2:06 (Faceplant again lol!)

    2:09 (Faceplant again again lol!)

  • i was a beast at sniping in Delta Force Black Hawk Down. alot of the techniques in the video ive learned on my own, but i wanna try doin that with BF3. in the BF2 mulitplayer demo i was able to headshot a target that i could barely see hiding in th trees and bushes. sniping gets easier and easier

  • Thumbs up if you spotted friends name on target at 3:42

  • r u doin bf3 vids too never played bf games be4 it would help

  • @done4cool

    I Plan to, so far it looks like DICE has created a real winner with BF3

  • @ryandpahl What do you think about core mode for BF3 still being a headshot only for one shot one kill?

  • trololol @0:57

  • combat sniping on 64 karkand was fun

  • i have trouble getting long range kills.... because of the bullet drop

  • we "sharp shitter's" 0:24

  • i save my 2 teammates 2 times in a row the first 1 is they are trying to capture a un-captured base and theres a guy with an anti tank gun but i shoot him first before he could eliminate my 2 of my teammates the 2 one was theres a guy was about to fire a machine gun at them but i shot him in the dick 2 tomes ha ha ha ha ha thanks to you man thanks alot

  • You have no idea of how much this helps in Bad Company 2, I've killed people across other maps when my internet went down. When I got it back 2 months later, everybody was doing these tactics just as I was and in return were killing from just as far as I originally was and still is.Want me to prove it add me on PS3 I'll show you.Just message me your name and tell me why you want me to add you and I will do so. Oh and I sub for free.

  • did u kill any people????

  • Thanks :)

  • Sucker 

  • Thank you so much sir! these really improved my game! Make more! haha

  • I have watched this video 4 times :D Not because i suck but because it brings back memories :D

  • Everytime when i start playing BF2 again, i see all your sniper school parts at first. It's the perfect getting in :D Really good work and btw could it be, that a account of you has got the name "ryandpahl", too? because I played this week together with a soldier named "ryandpahl" :) would be funny, if it were you.

  • I just save my teammate three times a row, I wish I got it on tape! My teammate was in the open like an idiot and right before an enemy was about to stab him I shot him in the skull! Then he walked in a building and another enemy snuck up, bam! Then he again ran in the open and another enemy was in the building and he went up to the window where my teammate jumped out and was about to shoot him I took him out too!

  • @BauerGamingHD

    This is the problem, the ASSault players have no idea how often they get saved by snipers. There is just no love for the silent warrior...

    When I play assault/medic/engineer, I am very grateful to see that enemy fall flat right in front of me...thanks to a well placed precision round from a sniper in the rear who is doing his job.

  • @ryandpahl youre right, but sometimes i had the problem that there were too many snipers in my team and less assault players. Everybody should look which classes are needed more and should choose one out of these hes able to play. Im no good bf2 sniper so i dont play as one (but i practise in singleplayer :)

  • @TheBananaJoint

    Limiting classes can be a good thing. PR does a good job of this. You can only have 1 sniper per 16 players on your team. Other classes are limited by how many people are in your squad. I really liked the system, but sometimes its a big race to get the first sniper kit.

  • @ryandpahl

    damn i wanted to play pr but my pc got broken before i was able to play it :(

    But i hope a compareable system will be used in b3, but you may need any achievement(s) to become a rare unit (sniper, pilot,...)

  • @ryandpahl I see what you mean about the race. But I never cared to much about that rule. A lot of snipers are dumb and try to come up close in the middle of battle and take you on 20 feet away and im usually support or assault or anti tank (something with a punch) so I kill them pretty easily. If I want to be a sniper it's always open to me xD. Oh and btw is being a sniper really supposed to be played like what is portrayed in this video? It's sweet

  • Comment removed

  • How do you film when you play? I really want to know!

  • @kalleanka1515

    fraps...go download the free trial.

  • Well i played in a match that it was me and my squad. If we didnt stick together we were dead. Snipers, all around the map. I had no idea how i was going to survive but i did it. Because i was with my squad. I a sniper against lots of them. We were trapped in the forest, with snipers coming to kill us and some APCs. We called our pilot and he did an awesome extracion, we have to use fastropping so then the chopper wouldnt be destroyed. It was so nice sniping from the UH-60(PR gameplay)

  • using the tips from this series i was in a match last night in which i picked off 10 enemies from cycling postions on the map operation harvest, eventually they sent out 2 tanks to take me out so i layed still and didnt move and the tanks drove right on top of me but didnt see me, they started peppering the grass with machine gun fire, so on the teamchat i called in an airstrike on the tanks and a friendly apache gunship took them out with tv missles. Truly a battlefield moment.

  • @yahbud

    Stuff like that only happens in BF and ArmA. Too bad all those COD freaks will never see the light...

  • @ryandpahl Yeah but COD is fast paced, easy and user friendly, thats why people play (note: I prefer BF or Arma sniping kind)

  • @karlosrolero

    The only thing COD has on BF is the weapon customization...if your into that. The perk system is RETARDED. And BF can be just as fast paced as COD, try playing with 64 players in a 16 player small map.

    Fast paced games get boring just as fast. Slow the game down a little, start using real life tactics, and suddenly the replay value of the game goes up exponentially.

    The commander/squd system is what really keeps BF ahead. Team play makes a game soooo much better!

  • @ryandpahl Yes you're right but cod has small maps so its IMPOSSIBRU to play normally with recon , thats why they quickscope , and its fun.I used to play Cod , then i grew up.

  • @yahbud Yes, ive learned perfectly how to judge the bullet frop that i love about this game, i made a shot across map hit a guy in the face while that happend he raged and called a tank so i ran down the road set up my c4 and moved to a position, i waited then onece i saw the tank i took it out, i turned around and found that same guy right behiond me so i knifed him

  • really good tutorials

  • Are you going to make a snipers school for BF3? these video's where so inpiring man!

  • @BartThemmen

    If BF3 lives up to the hype...yes I plan to make a new series.

  • @ryandpahl

    if........ HAH!!!!!! you see

  • STUPID !!!

    

  • @christianbadboy1 = Oxymoron...with emphasis on the moron.

  • @ryandpahl youre really bad ..

  • @christianbadboy1

    You're really not that bad, are you?

  • @christianbadboy1 what an idiot you are lol he is an awesome sniper :P i bet he could own you in real life with a sniper :P

  • this is how i play sniper: spawn. hold down sprint, run right down, prone, crouch, sprint, prone crouch sprint, prone crouch sprint, find a barrel, crouch crouch crouch, zoom in, sees 1 person, swings mouse across the screen, hit him in the head, crouch left, crouch left, crouch right, crouch left, surprise support proned behind me, get back up, run at him, left, right, jump over his head, scope in, click, scope out, headshot, run back to barrier, crouch, left, crouch, right

  • loooool....a ninja XD  0:57

  • i didnt know that if you knife someone on the ground they go flying foreward!

    you learn something knew everyday!

  • LOL i became a good sniper cuz of u!! and once i made like 5 knife kills as a sniper!!!!

  • any one know cheat or some trick for sp so when i shot in chest that bot die, coz its a bit stupid, 2 shots to the chest ot stomach to die damn, so plx if any one know.....

  • I remember when i first played a bf2 match after watching this video,

    I destroyed a helicopter and got 4 kills XD

  • does anyone know some networks in which you can gain rank on?

  • Please make a Battlefield 3 sniper school when that comes out!!!

  • DO YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE THEN GET POINTS? CAUZ I DONT LEVEL UP ANYMORE!

  • @happyhyver4live

    What rank are you?

    There is a limit on rank, master sargent I think, It won't let you proceed in rank untill you get a bunch of the basic badges.

    Once you have the required badges, rank is purely based on experience.

  • @ryandpahl im corporal and i have 1490 points but my rank meter dont seem to go any higher, i need 2500 points to level but my meter isnt at half and i have more points then half u need.

    soz, bad english

  • @happyhyver4live

    Make sure your playing on ranked servers. experience only counts on ranked servers.

    Some times the EA saerver takes a long time to update your stats.

  • @ryandpahl ok, thanks

  • @ryandpahl whats the longist it takes to update i have gotten alot of stuff and it doesnt show a thing

  • @celuler22

    3 weeks was longest I ever waited to see the updates, had 2 or 3 promotions all at once.

  • @ryandpahl actually 4 stars is the limit

  • Just a tip for noob snipers like me, download the demo and go practice your sniping there, thts how i got good. Killing other noobs=). Just be USMC fly onto the silo beside the MEC base or the hills by it. The demo only has gulf of oman

  • Just a tip for noob snipers like me, download the demo and go practice your sniping there, thts how i got good. Killing other noobs=)

  • OMG OMG OMG!! IVE SEEN U AROUND DO U STILL PLAY?? MY NAMES KAKASHI KID

  • @TheRozington

    There are alot of imitations. I haven't played BF2 in over a year now. BFBC2 is what I play now, callsign "lots_of_pain"

  • @ryandpahl lol, how can you play bc2, thats so bad... bf2 (even if i dont even play anymore) is so much better than bc2 and will forever be

  • @TheRozington Your name sounds familiar.. I'm Gramness on there.

  • yknow, why is there war? i mean, seriously. its like fighting over the last piece of chicken. its stupid. well, i'd say it'd be fun to shoot targets a mile away but if it's human flesh... uh uh, no way man.

  • @WalkerSoilder wanna know why there is war, there is war because there is humans and as long as we exist we will fight each other and destroy this earth, because war. war never changes

  • could you record something that i dont know, cuz this reminds me much, of sniper ghost warrior, modern warfare and metro 2033, but good video btw all those who are bad at being sniper could really learn something here, but i would be thankful if you would make an new video were you come up with new ideas and new sniper stealth movement. but i think the part were u glithed was a good idea. :)

  • @duskedennis I don't play this game anymore, and have little interest in making more videos for it.

    However, I am going to play BF3 when it comes out. IF, and thats a big IF, it is an awesome game that takes control of my life, I will probably end up making a new sniper school series based on BF3. Heres hoping!

  • haha 0:57 WTF!!

  • hahha 0:57 bug or what? :D

  • how you download weapon's patch and where?

  • @Paradox453

    Weapons pack...uh...no...its called an expansion. EA website, you want special forces.

  • @ryandpahl tya

  • if you wan a real simulation game go for (arma2 OA Aand all the expension !

  • how do u get those camera angles without any writing on the screen?

  • @Nick01995

    battle recorder, its in the community tab of BF2 options.

  • @ryandpahl thx bro

  • @ryandpahl i went into te community and it says

    Click on the bookmarks listed below to download and view BattleRecorder files.

    On bookmarks below it says:

    You have no BattleRecorder Downloads.

    What do i do now?

  • This is still the best online game ever made!!!

    Bad Company 2 was a disgrace, you can't even prone.

  • @killerclown789

    Hopefully, BF3 will take the best parts of BF2 and BFBC2 and combine them to be the new ultimate FPS!!!

    Hopefully.

  • 0:58 How can I do that?

  • @ 3:54 he breathes much too loud ;)

  • @geckoran

    but...he moved away from the mic so he could breathe....

  • i arldy follow the most part to hes tips and the end to the round finish with 50+ kills and 2 - 3 death no more and i dont lie in ince time i finish with 120 kills and i just die 5 times xD

  • the is america's army noob not bf2

  • hey whats the best sniper in bf2? i dont know because they all looks the same

  • @AlyxVance14

    3rd level, L96A1 is by far the best. Its the one you see in most of my videos.

    M24 is a close second. M95 is only really good for killing pilots.

  • did you plan to do more guides like infantry, dragshots etc?

  • @fighterbruno

    LOL! safer? u can b robbed.

  • @gummibandet1 you get points by using the class

  • @geroge123456786543 Yup sure can

  • i dnt even have these maps

  • wheres the audo from?!

  • @ryandpahlI think he means the source which the audio comes from

  • @adam1611

    The answer is shown at 0:16.

  • @ryandpahl Noticed, sorry for bother you ^^

  • what is he using to go outside his body into like a third person view and how can i get it?

  • @sherwindsouza fraps

  • how do u change cam

  • Do you know why they dont have that sniper any more??

  • these tutorials helped me when i started playing bf2 for the first time. I recently purchased a new computer and now i can finnaly play on max settings, on my old computer i was lagging on normal settings. Because of maximum draw distance i can spot enemies from much further away now

  • im sure the fraps make u laggy

    but thx for tutorial

  • perfect narrator voice ^^

  • I think ur awsome! but i got a prob i cant unlock weapons cant go ranks up and cant save my reward an stuff :( plzz help me

  • how do u unlock things and save ur record i try to get the m95 and that one whit the diffiucult name for a long time XD

  • lol at 0:58

  • 0:58??? How can i get there?

  • where is the original audio from?

  • how do i zoom in on teh sniper gun ????

  • add me plz and subscribe

  • what game is this ?

  • After watching your videos i had ranked up in game, letting me unlock some kits, i chose the L95 first, then ranked up again, looking through the unlock-able weapons i was unable to find the L96A1 i then went to my Bf2 Stats page and the rifle was not in the unlock-able weapons area, any tips on how to get the rile would be helpful.(Love your vids)

  • @theonejigilo

    play the special forces expansion, to get the L96A1

  • @ryandpahl ok cool thanks

  • czemu na poczatku filmiku miales ta zjebana snajperke a potem juz ta fajna>?

  • What is the best sniper rifle in BF2???

  • do need to use the lines when in zoom? if so does the bullet drop the longer the range?

  • im pretty good i stay in the open and i get like 35 deaths and 250 kills

    in one game

  • what map is this?

  • @BENBOBBY2

    sure more kills so to but ryan plays the sniper like a sniper ist caming,hiding and hav a good k/d. I think he plays often on Server with NO Commander!

    I like his Sniper School and watch every Video!

  • xbox360 is not anything like the video.i got bf2 modern combat

  • whats the best sniper in the game ?

  • This series helped me when I first started playing BF2 so thanks, but in reality this 'classic' way of sniping by camping and hiding arguably isnt the most effective imo. With UAV, spot spamming and knowing the usual hiding places a camping sniper is often a sitting duck!

    If you can learn the art of dragshooting and quickscoping then pushing forward with the rest of the team and sniping in close quarters can be more beneficial to the team. As well as usually getting more kills! :D

    BENBOBBY.

  • Its not about kills. Its about K:D ratio.

    I am always attempting to have a big 0 in the death slot. Therefore making my ratio infinite. At the end of the round, most snipers have a 1:1 ratio, mabey 2:1.

    Near the end of my BF2 career (i don't play anymore) I was getting 10:1 on average (although my stats won't reflect this). Very few snipers on the front lines can even dream of that ratio.

    A snipers most prized posession, in life and in game, is stealth. Just my $0.02

  • @ryandpahl whyd you quit?

  • @Sixpabs

    Better things to do with my time. If I were still gaming, I would be playing BF:BC2

  • @ryandpahl do you still only play in the winter months or are you done forever? and BFBC2 is sick i love cross map sniping ticks some peeps off with it... makes me smile :) rambo knifing is some legit skill to have too.

  • @ryandpahl Where did you get the audio?

  • @ryandpahl i like bf:bc better than bf:bc2

  • @ryandpahl Concerning sniping, I'd prefer the Project Reality mod... but as I follow your "Road to Precision" video series... yes, absolutely better things to do than sitting in front of a computer... :D Keep it up, it's a pleasure to have subscribed to your channel. ;)

  • @vxl788

    If you like PR, then I recommend ArmA to you. PR has too many limiting factors created from the battlefield game itself.

    ArmA is EVERYTHING PR is trying to be and a whole lot more.

  • @ryandpahl Aww... well I actually have ArmA 2, but even though my notebook is one of the better ones it can't really keep up with what ArmA 2 demands (performance-wise). I used to play Operation Flashpoint (the first one) very extensively back in the old days... :)

  • @ryandpahl but its m and i cant play m games :'(

  • @BENBOBBY2

    sure more kills so to but ryan plays the sniper like a sniper ist caming,hiding and hav a good k/d. I think he plays often on Server with NO Commander!

    I like his Sniper School and watch every Video!
