You've got the ability to distinguish when someone's in the redline - you demonstrate that every time an enemy crosses the redline. But you can't figure out how to point it towards friendly units? Outrageous this is still an issue.
This game has been around how long? By not fixing this, CCP, you're basically condoning it as a valid and perfectly normal tactic. So there's that. And you know, the ever-increasing number of snipers I see going 30+ / 0. I guess that's cool too, huh? But hey, let's fix vehicles first. There are way more of them than redline snipers, right? (Protip: That was sarcasm)
Protip: Working as intended  What you thought it was an accident that people have a fallback position out of reach from a grenade or AR?
If you ever want the redline gone I suggest you put your 2 cents in on one of the many OPEN WORLD threads out there, no redline means no redline sniping. |

A sniper.
See, everybody can play that game. You think snipers should also ***** about snipers?
Even snipers have to deal with snipers.
And the next time I hear somebody say being a sniper in a video game is being a coward you are welcome to go back in time and tell my younger self that while sitting in a position I could have my head blown off at any minute.
Go join the military for real. Otherwise, you're a coward for only fighting in a video game *****!
I'll sit and shoot any way, any where and any thing I damn well please when it's nothing but pixels. I already put my life and assets on the line. I think I'll relax now thank you very much.
Dear dumbass,
People are entitled to their opinnion as well as you are, one does not have to join the military to be brave, they simply have to be able to be brave in their own heart and confront people when they see an injustice or something going wrong, circumstances permitting. What people are complaining about is that the redline creates an artifical barrier in which more then half the suits/vehicles in the game have no way to counter unless they change up what they are doing entirely. Let me give some examples.
To fight a LAV, you can shoot at it with a reg gun of any sort, not to effective usually. You can use AV gernades, more effective, or you can use actual AV weaponry in which to destroy the LAV. Tanks are a similar solution, where in you do not have to change your higher slot weapon of choice. Against a dropship, any gun in the game will in fact damage them if they are in range and for a dropship to commence with combat it has to be in range of nearly every gun in the game.
That being said, a sniper can camp currently 100-150m away from the front lines behind the redline as long as they are using a advanced(not so much) through proto type or rare drop gun. This makes it so that they have an artifical advantage that should not exsist at all, when combined with a terrain glitch, that many high ranking snipers know how to use, this even makes counter sniping against them nearly impossible. This is like the trick where people hide within boxes on the map, aka they can shoot you, but you can't shoot them.
Now another advantage the redline gives is that anyone looking into it seems more of a haze a fog, this was designed to help the loosing team if they are being slaughtered, however, seeing out of it is perfectly clear, thus giving the sniper another artifical advantage. This is not a fair situation, this is called exploiting faults within the game. If the redline did not create so many artifical advantages it would be fine, however, it does the developers are even looking into ways to fix this problem as it is, because snipers were never meant to abuse it as much as they are.
I hope this has been enlightening and not to offensive towards you, but when you make such comments against people trying to vocalize what they feel is wrong you are hurting the debate rather then adding to it constructively. Also, btw to people commenting about BPO stuff, I could make a proto type sniper with BPO stuff with the elite pack and have it cost less then 10k to field each time if I had 100 bucks to spend. |

people only ***** about snipers cause those people are only CQC or AR people who mindlessly just shoot and kill and don't like to think. that is what i hear from those people who hate tactics or don't use or think of some complex or adv tactics. i don't condone redline sniping or do it myself, but everyone needs a fall back point when people camp them, otherwise there is no point to playing. also for real world military, those people only have 1 life and no respawn, it's only a game here. so quit complaining and stop being lazy and learn to counter what you hate |
