So I watched the video. Where is the exploit?
Regardless of what the narration stated what is being exploited here?
Superior positioning? Good angles on targets? Using the terrain to best advantage?
I'm not seeing it.
Also, his team lost. Bad too. At least by the looks of the MCC conditions at the end...
All those things you said with the "guess what..." probably would've lowered his kill count.
I don't see an exploit. I see great positioning. I also didn't see any countersniping or anyone
grab a dropship and go after him. Not sure what the problem is here...

Ya I decided to go full time sniper and I am OK at it. I like the hunt and the thrill of head shots. So far out of 20 matches I have died twice and killed over a hundred, not sure if that is good but I will keep trying. Also I cant stand the sound the charge rifle makes, it distracts you from listening for people sneaking up on you. So I decided to go with another rifle, can you guess which one? Bong, man I love that sound Also I have kept tower snipers and forge gunners off my teams back so before you start QQ about snipers just remember were helping more than you know.

What game in the world allow a player to get 30 kills and 0??? pretty damn rare in battlefield.... Pretty damn rare even in planetside 2... This Great Superior Positioning was unattainable unless your got a dropship of your own... In my case i would have rocked the Commando suit and had my secondary be a swarm launcher... My point is Snipers are untouchable in this game which is fine but than kills should be worlds harder to get in the game... Without bullet drop kills are simply to easy and run the sniper level 4 and i know you sniper level 5 guys get a huge advantage with that scope... dont play with me when it comes down to the facts.... Snipers dont need a nerf but they need countermeasures... bubble shield to stop snipers or a riot shield which takes up a primary slot..

I've got just the thing

A must have for all Dust players.

Dont like it?
Then go use an active scanner, find him and kill him, or even more amusing: countersnipe

Only OP for sniper right now is the inviglitch, aside of that -blah- thery're doin the job, quit the whinin.

If that's an exploit then I'm exploiting them exploiting when I get 20/0 killing them

OH Guess what run militia sniper... Guess what they can tank heavy suits with their sniper... OH run vehicles... OH guess what with the commando suit they can run swarm launchers now with their snipers... Oh run in a pack.... Guess what... If a member of your pack dies from a sniper your pack becomes that much weaker in advancing on enemy posts. Oh use your Vehicle to block shoots when your hacking... Guess what Commando suit dude... oh Sniping takes skill....

-1 your stupid dude. run infantry and see how snipers treat you for once...

We don't have any means of stopping snipers at all in this game... if they are redlining than its impossible to get them unless your a skilled into sniper as well. OH Guess what run militia sniper...

Guess what Commando suit dude... oh Sniping takes skill.... Yes but not as much skill as in battlefield 3 since you have to compensate for bullet drop and the prone position which this game does not have making sneaking past lines that much harder... Why do people think the K/D leaderboards are so messed up because of the effective killing strategies the sniper can be... Oh Yes the sniper doesn't help the opposing team since he is not boots on the ground.... Oh guess what yes he is because not only is he earning WP for the Orbital strike he is keep enemies off objectives, helping squadmates proceed when attack objectives, providing intel on enemy positions, and finally killing the enemy which is another way to win the damn game modes.

Ah, redline sniping - basically, there are two categories of those.

There's people with severe loss aversion who don't mind if they contribute little to their teams because they can't stand getting killed a few times. But, there are very few maps in which sniper can stay behind redline and contribute to his team regardless of how the battle is developing. Therefore, those snipers are not the ones to whine about.

The other kind of redline sniping is when a team gets dominated, all spawn points captured except those behind redline. In that case, sniper usually cannot position himself anywhere else but behind redline. However, I really fail to understand why people whine when they get killed in such instances. If you are already totally dominating the match, what the hell is forcing you to push ahead and risk getting killed by redline snipers? I suppose it's just plain greed for kills. Why not simply camp the objectives and wait for the opponent to make a move. Behind cover, of course.

As for counter sniping in general... yes, another sniper is usually the best tool for sniper removal. When sniping is concerned, it usually comes down to snipers duking it out between themselves to see which ones get to help their teams, and which ones get to spend the battle covering behind walls/hills.

As for some of your other ideas - bullet drop seems pretty ridiculous on a weapon that fires flechettes at hypersonic speeds, at ranges up to 600m. Also, prone position would certainly be more beneficial to snipers, then people trying to cross their lines of fire. A (good) sniper is already hard to detect. Allowing him to go prone... not a good idea.

Needs a TL;DR

can;t go get em when they are redline or ontop of a tower 700 meters in the air.. You quit whine you redneck fuc k oh and next time read the fu cking post to its entirety you clearly missed how Heavies can snipe making counter sniper pointless unless you skilled into sniper too. so STFU you dumb mother fu cker

You're not supposed to make sense on these forums.

Seriously? Ugh.. I didnt mean to insult you, but you crossed the line.

700 meters? where?
redline? then countersnipe

hehe and the dumb redneck its probably you, gonna give you an advice quit the game I bet youre really bad at it
go play pokemon or something..

You are wrong dude, you are clearly running solo or with an inadequate squad. All my squads have someone who can counter snipe. There are not too many places where a sniper can truly hide, even in their redline, and if they can they are doing their job correctly (killing and moving back to cover or changing location).

The prevalence of commando or heavy snipers has increased for sure, but I can pretty much guarantee that those players aren't as good as dedicated counter sniper who can pin them down and push them back to cover denying them any kills.

I have no problem with a sniper going 30/0, he's either doing a very good job at sniping or the people he killed are just plain crap at dust. Most snipers don't move from their "spot" so will always have a limited area of the battlefield to cover, if you are dying over and over again then you are clearly stupid for not learning or anticipating the snipers LoS.

Sure it takes a sniper to learn how other snipers play the game, but isn't that the whole point of Dust, you try different classes and play styles and learn how to defeat the "enemy" regardless of what they are using.

-1 your stupid dude. run infantry and see how snipers treat you for once...

I too would like a dislike button.... I want one soooo bad.

And I run, per situational priority, hmg heavy bpo or ADV suit, AV bpo suit, logi bpo,
aaaaaand scout bpo.
Now, ask me again how good snipers treat me. And I still don't see an exploit here.

Oh, I almost forgot, I have a bpo assault suit fitted with a ______ _____ for countering
something. +1 to the first one who guesses correctly.

Thank you for confirming that.

actually i will play with your mom's ti ts they seem fun :) secondly did you fuc king read the post to its entirety? Heavy snipers make counter sniping unless your rocking skilled into sniper skills pointless. standard and milita sniping is useless.

countering something but not sniping.

if thats the case than why dont more people play dust??? reality check the amount of snipers reaching 30 and 0 is pretty damn common now because not only are battlefields open but with the introduction to commando suits limits fast means of transportation to their position. It breaks the fuc king games K/D ratio why do you think every review in the world did not give this a score beyond average???

Doesnt matter either way it breaks KD ratio completely. if there is no bullet drop than kills are totally vague.

just to confirm KD/R is really that important in a game with support classes....

also:
heavy suits have the highest signature radius of all the suits so far, sniping-even redline sniping is gimped by being easily spotted. The best snipers... even if they aren't high on the kill boards, are the ones who inflict terror on the opposition simply because you know they are there, but you have no idea where. Such snipers are immune to counter sniping and a are freaking ANNOYING!!1

... but with an iota of intelligence you can determine their general direction and position by seeking cover and remembering where you got shot, if you know what directions you had covered it all adds up... crossing open spaces Obviously goes against this, but there are ways to go about this safer, and really did i have to say all that?

RIP common sense

Good snipers are mobile, nothing will save you!
