Couple of tricks...when playing the dark map, change all of your video options to full...meening, change gamma, contrast and such to the far right...you can then see clearly in the dark and don't need your nightvision...
From 0-10, you need 1000 honor points, from 20-30, 2000, from 30-40, 3000...and so on. Friendlies have a backpack and are wearing camouflage...enemies have a standard dark green (only) uniform...and are usually shooting at you! hehe...I'm Furious_L on the servers...I'm up to 21 (almost 22) honor!

Everyone should be like the Dutch. They're perfect.

You can always cheat. Memory scanners work with the game. Personally, I just cheat whenever I create a new profile for someone, but when I first got the game I went through all the steps and earned my sniper badge 😉

Cool, maybe I'll check it out now since it's $10 bucks at my local Walmart.

Disregard my previous post.

Stick_e_Mouse · May 18, 2003

Of course you can play.
What username do you play under?

Disregard my previous post.

And ya know this...man!

Stick_e_Mouse · May 18, 2003

I love the bridge map too, I play it almost exclusively. Maybe I'll see you online.

I think you need like a 36 or 37 out of 40 to qualify for sniper. It's been getting really hard with each newer version releasd. If you can get a copy of a 1.0 or 1.1 version, it should be real easy.
Pointers:
-time your shots to your breathing
-shoot either at end of exhale, or end of inhale
-i find the the M16 tends to coil upward and to the right...so just aim slightly down to left (target's right armpit)
-if you can't get it, forget it....203 is the only way to go anyways =)

Disregard my previous post.

Stick_e_Mouse · May 18, 2003

What version are you guys playing lately? 1.7?

I'm still using 1.6 because I hear 1.7 has lots of bugs, even more than 1.6. Like you cannot pick up your team's wepon. What do you think of it?

Disregard my previous post.

Rubberbband · May 18, 2003

Upgrade to version 1.7 man. Especially if you like the Bridge map. There's a new bridge map in 1.7. It's true you can't pick up friendly weapons in 1.7 because of a bug but...it does make it more realistic somewhat.

How do i use the sniper rifles in the game, I've Compleated the 2 Advanced Marksmanship Training Courses, but can't figure out how to use them in an actual game, like the Insurgent Camp map. It Says unavilable in the Class or weapon select Screen.

Steven21 · May 21, 2003

So nobodys going to tell me how to use sniper rifles in the game? Either no one knows or they dont want to tell me.

dhlucke · May 21, 2003

I suck and still haven't qualified 🙁

Sticke mouse is a moron, ive got 8 cd keys for counter strike

roflmao, and i got them all at internet cafe's in toronto.
and they all work lmao

cant aford cs [-peep-].

Stick_e_Mouse · May 24, 2003

Yes, just because I don't use/steal/download illegal software/keys, I am a moron.
What a concept! You must be a genius with an IQ of 180!

Fact of the matter is this, I'm a college student studying to be a software developer/programmer. So I know how it feels to have my own products get used illegally after I've working on it for so hard and for so long. Thus, I appreciate and respect other companies' products and will not use them illegally.
You obviously don't know anything about anything. Then again, that's typical of 8-year olds.

Disregard my previous post.

And ya know this...man!

Stick_e_Mouse · May 24, 2003

Some maps don't allow you to use the sniper rifle. I'm not sure whether or not the Insurgent Camp does. Also, if the map is not filled by players, like if there is only 5 vs 5, the sniper rifle and m203 won't be available. Only the basic weapons are usable when there isn't a lot of people playing.

Disregard my previous post.

And ya know this...man!

Stick_e_Mouse · May 24, 2003

Sweet! You must be a fast learner. I've haven't been playing for a while so I've been stuck on 24 for like the past month.
Have you gotten the sniper yet?
Which bridge map do you usually play on? The original Bridge map or the Bridge SE map?

Disregard my previous post.

And ya know this...man!

dhlucke · May 25, 2003

I keep getting 35 so I still don't have the sniper badge. I'm too ticked off to try again for a while

I'm pretty much always on the original bridge map. I just pick squad leader, call out e's and play a mean d from the north hill. Very fun game to just chill with. When I'm not caring too much about points I'll go A. It's tough to get a good team together for a though.

Stick_e_Mouse · May 27, 2003

LOL! Yeah, I remember running version 1.5 and trying to qualify for sniper. I must've tried 50 times, at least! I got so ticked off I downloaded an older version 1.1 or 1.2 from <A HREF="http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=army_download" target="_new">Nvidia</A>. One try on the older version and I got a perfect 40/40 =). I just uploaded my profile and reinstalled the latest version - voila, sniper rifle!!! =)

You're right about assult in the bridge map. But even though it's hard to find a good team, I like being in assult.

Disregard my previous post.

And ya know this...man!

dhlucke · May 28, 2003

Any chance of you still haven't that old version? I can't find one online...

I got version 1.2.1. Damn kazaa was trying to pawn it off as BF1942, but I got it. Is the only difference that the targets are brighter?

Stick_e_Mouse · May 28, 2003

No, I didn't notice anything about brighter targets. It just seemed way easier to hit the targets. My guess is that people in the earlier versions were qualifying for sniper so easily that the DEVs tweaked the game with each new release.

Oh,some more tips:
-In the game control settings, set the mouse movement/sensitivity to 1.
-Only use ONE bullet per target - always. If you miss a target, just let it go, don't waste ammo.
