Step 1: Get a good class.
Setup all the custom classes for different situations and different maps.
On large maps with tanks (such as Downfall or Roundhouse), use a class with tank-penetrating weapons like the NT grenade and Bazooka/Satchel Charge, just remember your sniper.
On small maps that have a lot of advantage sniping points, Castle for Example, will be an EXCELLENT place to make use of Bouncing Betties or a friend that will guard you while sniping. -
Step 2: Figure the layout of each map.
This will help you learn which maps are good for sniping.
Use your surroundings to figure out where you can snipe and where you can't.
