Welcome to the madness. 

 

I'd avoid sniping as a newbie as to be effective it takes alot more than just putting the crosshairs on the target and squeezing the trigger. If I had a pound for everytime a new player started with a bolt action rifle, only to sell it a couple of moths later I could probably afford a couple of TM recoil gnus

Hi and welcome. Simply put I wouldn't worry about buying a sniper rifle yet, which is essentially playing the game on hard mode (especially when using most "out of the box" rifles). Enjoy the easier version for a while, see how you get on. Sniping is amazing....in theory but very difficult to get right and often frustrating in practice.

Welcome to fold, bud.

 

I echo the thoughts of the others here as well. I made the mistake of buying a TM VSR10 quite early on (I blame Novritsch with his kill montages) and found it to be really boring.. your experience might be different to mine, who knows.

 

I would suggest to start by running and gunning and see if that style of play works for you first.

You will find loads of stuff about sniper-mode in the “Single Action Guns”, there’s ooodles of stuff to read whilst on guard-duty

Hi and welcome

To add another echo to all the above...

 

Sniping is often disappointing and frustrating for new players because they've seen lots of videos showing the cool shots etc.

The reality is that a sniper rifle often needs a LOT of tweaking to get it to a decent level of accuracy and consistency.

 

If you want different play styles maybe get a short gun instead.

In airsoft the shorter SMGs (P90, MP5, etc) can perform well enough to play in woodland sites.
