You whining about tanks not being able to kill certain foot soldiers is like me whining about bot being able to kill tanks with a scrambler pistol scout

Forge guns are a COUNTER to tanks...just like tanks are a COUNTER to non-AV foot soldiers.

You expect to simply stomp EVERYONE in a tank unopposed...which is beyond clownish.

You aren't giving a way to avoid forge snipers, you're simply here to whine and demand an unjustified nerf. If a forge sniper can hit you, other players in your team can hit him too.

here are some steps to counter them.

for Vehicles:

Step 1- locate the forge sniper.
Step 2- get to some point of the map where he cant get you. (impossible i know)
Step 3- make sure your the only one in that area.
Step 4- recall your vehicle.
Step 5- leave the game and go to a game that's actually playable.


for Infantry:

Step 1- locate the forge sniper
Step 2- have the squad leader place a defend order on one of the people in your squad.
Step 3- get an orbital.
Step 4- use the orbital on the cowards at the top of the buildings. (this will also destroy all equipment on the buildings.)

OR

Step 1- leave the game

that should help you guys.

OR

Accept that snipers are a valuable part of the game.

OR

Befriend the forge gunner. Get him to tell you his home address. Go find him in RL and kick his butt.

THEN

Leave the game... But satisfied.

Your previous post is utter nonsense.

If they can see me, I can see them, and my Ishukone hits them from the ground floor up in the penthouse just fine.

I forgot they removed sniper rifles from the game

^ This.

As an occasional forge gunner, snipers (and AR users within range) are the bane of my existence. We are big slow moving targets, and if a sniper decides to camp us, there isn't much that can be done except attempt to re-locate (fat chance of doing this on an open map without a vehicle or a lot of cover).


Add insult to injury that the snipers might as well be invisible shooting from an unknown location (HUD hit marker direction is garbage when it comes to getting shot by snipers).

i guess that since everything has gotten nerfed to hell, all that's left that's actually doing its job is the forge, yet i have to say that the proto assault version needs a fire rate nerf, it fires too fast for that much damage.

Step 2- get to some point of the map where he cant get you. (impossible i know)

on that, i can vouch for tank drivers.

that is the result of being nerfed every single build this game has ever had, we aren't going to charge directly into battle and let you kill us in seconds, we are going to stay where we can actually survive and do our job. that's you infantry's fault for nerfing tanks so much that our worth is nearly 0.


you told us to adapt or die when we were getting killed in the middle of the battle field, and when we adapted and went to the redline, you complain that we are cowards and need to go down to the battle field and let you kill us in 5 seconds, there is no pleasing you.

You just seem to be talking about ground forge users but the real problem is the ones perched up high on unreachable towers.

The forge gun hits you bad. If there was a clone heaven, you will be denied with that weapon. I use to get forged so bad, my screen will glitch. One time I was getting repped and thought I was safe, and then BLAM__FG. I'm scared of that weapon of mass destruction. Also it is scary when ppl get forged right before you!

Yep, i know right?

I'll compile some of the data I've read about Forge Guns.

-Their payload travel an unlimited range. They can hit anyone, from anywhere on the map so long as they are on a tower.

-They don't even render in the distance at all, even for someone using a sniper rifle.

-They OHK all dropships regardless of fitting, and can kill a 7k ehp tank with 50% resistances in a single Forge Gun clip.

-Sniper Rifles aren't a counter to tower Forge Sniping, because they can't 1 shot the Heavy.

-Dropships aren't a counter to tower Forge Sniping, because the Forge gunner has 360 degree vision, as well as foresight into future to determine the DS's location.

-It takes less then 6 seconds to pop a tank with the Breach Forge Gun.

-As long as there's a nanohive present, the gun is unstoppable.

I can totally see why people think the Forge Gun is OP ....

(i paraphrased on point 5 of course)

The Forge Gun is fine just the way it is! Don't believe me just ask CCP.

Better yet go try it for yourself!

If you really think sniping with the FG is easy go do it! I'm gonna tell you right now you are in for a big surprise.

it was a surprise of easy it was... counter sniper snipers because of abusing rendering and all the infantry get mad at me w/ hate mail.

Hey dipshit, you know that rendering issue works both way's for infantry ya know. If your sniper scope can't see me then I cant see you with my hip fire reticule.

You can't snipe a heavy on a tower because as soon as they take one hit, they back up to where they can't be seen to rep. You can't get them with a forge because getting a direct hit is very very difficult - the reason forge snipers on towers are so deadly is because they can still kill people if they miss them by a meter or two. The only counter to forge snipers is to avoid them and that's not really a counter; a counter would be a reasonable way to kill them, which does not exist.
