    how do you hold still when sniping ? i looked around i didn't see a feature for it...
    know on splinter cell u could hold your breath for a few seconds and take the shot.

    Put your suite in strength mode to be more steady.

    Also prone/crouch offer more stability. If your sniping strength mode is the way to go , but I found that the ammo was limited and so was the use of the sniper rifle. Just using the scope on one of the assault rifles was way better.

    Your character is breathing, breathing causes movement. To help steady your crosshairs and improve your shot group, I recommend going into the prone position, especially when fully zoomed in with the sniper scope. At the least take a knee.

    Yes, strength mode + prone does help alot. If you saw a youtube video where there was no movement at all with the sniper, they were probebly either playing online, which is perfectly steady with all guns and scopes, or using the no recoil mod for singleplayer.

    Yeah it´s only realistic that he can´t hold the rifle steady, due to breathing, to cheat with a no recoil mod what´s the fun in that?

    Try being a BF2142 sniper and then Crysis is nothing.
