THE U.S. SNIPER

The U.S./S.Vietnamese Snipers can be found by the picture of the crosshair. If you're going to play as a sniper in this game, it would help for you never to have played Medal of Honor: Allied Assault or CounterStrike, because all of that jump/strafe/lean shooting nonsense isn't going to get you anywhere in this game.

The sniper in this game is best played on from an elevated position (I love getting in the enemy airfield control towers or prone in the brush on a hill). It is important to take note that while scoped, the Sniper moves much slower.

The U.S. Sniper doesn't come with as many equipment options as a N.Vietnamese sniper, but I think the weaponry he gets is slightly more effective at close range than the N.Vietnamese sniper rifles.
