Ah yes...Snipers Dream...sometimes nightmare. I tend to go as a Sniper rather than assault. If you don't have overkill, practice your pistol shooting and knife wielding. If you tend to feel like your being stalked and preyed upon hopefully you can surprise them with your pistoleer and slashing skills. Snipers when they first spawn at the beginning of the game tend to run toward the bridge areas especially the Ruined House
 and stone bridge fence and lay and wait for unsuspecting players running along the bridges or river bed areas or other snipers. Be aware of this when running along those areas. I tend to have a planned route depending on the spawn point when the game first begins. Claymores are a snipers best friend BTW. You'll usually hear the click before it explodes if your focused on the game so even if the claymore doesn't kill them it should alert you enough to turn around and be prepared to defend yourself.

Chiro usually goes Assault and most times clears out the Action House (when we first played we always said the action always happens in this house and it stuck) and Main house. Snipers tend to be in the grass by stone bridge, Farm houses 2 small windows or by the rock next the farm house as well as the other areas I mentioned before in the previous paragraph. If your proficient with the G3 or M14 which are single shot assault rifles, you can go that route instead of the sniper rifles. I tend to skip that and go sniper since it gives you the ghillie suit.

Chiroasso’s Take:

The snipers paradise, at least that is what everybody wants you to believe. I don't find snipers to be a threat on this map at all, but then again gdogg is always on my team, so I use the RDS M4 almost exclusively on this map. Because it has the range that is perfect for most of the battles that take place on this map. I don't use the AK too much on this map because the recoil is a bit much at times. You could use an LMG because they do have some range and there are plenty of structures to shoot through as well. I wouldn't use an SMG or shotgun though. Sure there is always fighting going on in the burning barrel house, the action house and Ruined House
. But most of the fighting takes place outside these houses and renders those weapons kind of useless.

Marine Spawn:
When I get this spawn I always turn around and go the back way to the barn. I'm usually the only one that does this. You can always make it into the bottom of the barn before you are seen. This allows you to pick anybody off that might be moving towards the wooden bridge. just be careful though because sometimes there are guys in the hay field to the right. Once I make sure this area is clear I move into the action house straight ahead.

Spetsnaz Spawn:
I immediately run across the concrete bridge and take the stairs up into the burning barrel Main house. Once on top in this house be on the lookout for someone coming up the other set of steps. Be sure to crouch as you move that way you can hear them if they are running up the steps. After moving to the bottom I go out the back check the Ruined House then move to the action house.

Sorry no real grenade throws on this map. I used to do one but I quit going that way and it was only about a 30% chance of getting someone. Just be sure to try and flash bang the upstairs in the buildings before you attempt to advance
