Stupid question: wouldn't MD users be completely defenseless against one or two decent snipers?  |

More of a waste than constantly and ineffectively throwing bodies at the enemy to be repeatedly slaughtered? |

Maybe that's the problem?
If the entire enemy team is running MDs, then obviously nobody is left to counter-snipe, and they'd be like fish in a barrell for one or two decent snipers on your team which should, in turn, force them to alter thier tactics, shouldn't it?
(I'm not trying to be facetious or anything, I really am curious about this and why it wouldn't be a reasonable counter tactic in this situation) |

(I'm not trying to be facetious or anything, I really am curious about this and why it wouldn't be a reasonable counter tactic in this situation) I'm pretty sure most teams in PC already run at least 1 sniper most of the time. I'm not sure how you would want him to clear out the compound completely. If you didn't notice there's a lot of cover in the compound.
Did I say they had to clear out the compound completely? No, I didn't.
Only that they do enough damage to force your opponents to change their tactics, then they might not ALL be running MDs, and then your infantry guys might have a chance. |

(I'm not trying to be facetious or anything, I really am curious about this and why it wouldn't be a reasonable counter tactic in this situation) Snipers have a limited view point. They cannot easily traverse the compound in order to get an angle on MD users who are constantly moving, assaulting objectives. The enemy team DID have (a) snipers and forge gunners. So it's not like any of our snipers would have been invulnerable. You are oversimplifying.
Maybe I am oversimplifying since, in your OP, you made no mention of anyone on the other team using either sniper rifles or forge guns, so it would appear that you may have been exaggerating the situation, just a bit, as well.
(or, at least, omitting certain important bits of information that might lead someone like me to oversimplify)
It was just a simple question, after all. |

I fail to see how 1 sniper would make a team switch to something else instead of Mass Drivers. Last I checked any other weapon besides the Sniper are just as defenceless against the sniper. If you did manage to get a sniper into a position where he could dominate key areas of the compound, I'm sure the other team would have their own sniper countersniping him, or if that's impossible send someone else out to take care of the sniper, while the rest of the team keep doing what they're doing inside the compound.
"Fail to see..." or "refuse to see..."? |

Wow, sorry I asked (I did say it was a stupid question, after all) 
I just thought you PC guys were heavy into tactics and teamwork and all that, and assumed that, if you were as "elite" as some of you seem to think you are, some of you might have come up with a way to use those tactics and teamwork to overcome the tactics and teamwork of your opponents, that's all.
I guess it's just easier to cry to CCP that those tactics being used against you are unfair and should be taken away, though. Kind of disappointing, really.
Makes me kind of glad I'm NOT involved in PC. |
