When you are not shure if a sniper is just waiting for you to show yourself and then kill you well here is a little tip. Turn around face to the wall and strafe to show you body to the enemy but go far and come back fast to hide yourself, while you are doing that the enemy sniper will try to kill you and aim, and when he does that (while you strafe left or right) you will see his dot on the wall following you so then you know if there is someone there.

Let's say you are shooting your autorifle and u get conced... if you dont move your mouse to change your up/down/side-to-side view at all and keep shooting, guess what direction you shoot in? no, not a figure 8... that is what the game shows you. you are still shooting straight as though u had never been conced. do this with a friend sometime to see what i am talking about. Getting conced doesnt throw your aim off... it just distorts your view... if it doesn't make sense yet... figure it out yourself... lol

If you got your gun primed for a shot but there is no target, you want to move and are still hidden and don't want to reveal your position just use a crouching jump and fire tour shot mid-air that way your gun doesn't fire, you don't make a noise, you stay hidden and you save a bullet.

Another tip I just thought of. When you're conced get straight out of zoom mode because then you can see your dot and even though your view might be swaying badly the dot stays still so you can still accurately snipe even when conced just by keepin your eye on the dot and moving it just like if you're unconced.
