They are useless. They do not hack, they do not push on the enemy. About the only thing they are good for was overwatch and marking enemies, but they can't even do that anymore. If any team has more than 3 of them that team will almost always lose, and everyone but the snipers gets slaughtered.
They are a completely selfish role, they often wait to shoot so they can steal a kill, even if it cost their ally a fitting. The only reason they play Skirmish and Domination is because there is a redline that they can hide in.
For any sniper that says "killing X enemies isn't useless". Yes it is. In a game where the enemy can just keep respawning, kills are worthless. Kill all the enemies you want, unless we clone them you were useless. Most matches are won with MCC destruction, not kills.
The only snipers I have much respect for are the Tac Snipers that get up near the battles(obviously not in them, but not 250m away on a mountain), and ones that provide overwatch with a mic, or (even better) a flux scanner.

You do realise that the Tac Snipers have an increased zoom, right?
I get what you're saying, but Snipers are useful, particularly when they keep the enemy out of open area.
Too much of anything is bad, and that goes double for them, up to about 3 or 4 and no more should be decent, provided they're positioned away from eachother across the map. |

At the moment snipers dont have many roles to fill other than killing!! This is not there fault they need new equipment modules and abilities to help the squad, besides snipers can make great assests, when deployed and used effectively, snipers work best in 3's 2 for the team down below and 1 countersniper!!
I regularly run with a sniper, grease spillet, from my alliance, he has more tactical advantages without firing a shot!! Besides if I have a guardian angel I feel much better knowing he has a sniper rifle!! |

Unless the blue snipers are getting like 20 kills, they're wasting space in skirmish matches. Green snipers, if they're good, are another story, of course. The overwatch they can provide is invaluable, although a Flux scanner is arguably more useful. |

I agree, I wish snipers had more use for the team, so that I wouldn't almost always lose when I get paired up with more than 2-3 of them on my team. I wish their scopes would light up enemies, or they used flux scanners more often instead of nanohives. |

Once again people just lump everone with a sniper rifle in as a sniper. There are 2 types of sniper rifle users, useless snipoors or snipers that all they do is take pot shots, and try to rack up KD/R and Recons. Recons are the good snipers, they work with their squad trying to keep open areas clear, give the SL good information on troop movements (recons make the best SL because they are never in the heat of the battle so they can keep an eye on the larger picture), and picking off important targets. Had a situation where we needed to push on A but they had 2 heavies with triage hives with a logi supporting them. Heavies may be gimped but in CQC if they know you are coming they can still wreck you, our sniper took out the hives first then managed to nail the Logi in the head, after that easy mopup. |

Green snipers are good, especially with a mic, overwatch is great. Its the blue ones up in the hills that are doing nothing for the team that I particularly don't like, because they aren't playing Skirm and Dom because its an objective and team based gametype, but because they don't die there. |

mary's right. whenever I go tank hunting, I look at the position of the tank and then go pass the tank in search of the spotter. (sniper in this case) 85% I find them. I then message the tanker "Don't worry bro. I don't see any OTHER AV" Then I fire my proto SL. |

True, but all that takes is one good sniper, in the end. I'd rather have four competent tankers on the field than four equally competent snipers; tanks, while they can't cap points, they at least have a ground presence. |

A tank's spotter should be on the opposite side of the map from his partner at all times. Giving the tank a viewpoint that he normally does not get allows them to make the right decision all the time. Just have to make sure you are using simple to understand terms (clock positions are best based on the orientation of the tank in my opinion) |

I will help a lot more as a sniper if it wasn't for how long it takes to position yourself, by the time you move to next position, find where the enemy is, find the right spot with the right angle, crouch, wait for the rifle to stop moving up and down like a yo-yo, find the enemy again ....The full battle have already move somewhere else. |

That isn't a sniper you're describing. It's an idiot with a sniper rifle. There's a difference.

Quote:The only snipers I have much respect for are the Tac Snipers that get up near the battles(obviously not in them, but not 250m away on a mountain), and ones that provide overwatch with a mic, or (even better) a flux scanner.
Obviously never had a good sniper save your life. They're rare, but valuable, teammates.
And as mentioned, Tac Snipers have more of a focus on long range, not less. They're usually the ones found further back, with a longer zoom range. They also have lower damage per shot and only 3 shots per clip, making them the most likely to hold fire until the target is weakened before finishing the job.
A good sniper can often cover 2 or 3 objectives in a Skirmish match and while they won't lock those points down solo, they can stall any hack attempts for long enough to see reinforcements clear the position. A good sniper in Ambush will take the shots they can get, kill or assist, and will preferentially target enemies that threaten their teammates (or the sniper themselves). A good sniper in Domination will control key routes leading to the objective and funnel the enemy into killzones for the rest of the team to exploit.
That's not to say everyone who claims to be a sniper is good though. There are a lot of idiots who think that having a sniper rifle on their fitting makes them a sniper, but they don't play the role. They watch their teammates die, then "avenge" their teammate so they get the kill, or "save" a teammate who's about to win the fight without their help. They collect kills, and don't provide any meaningful support, and as mentioned, while that may help in Ambush (if you can stay ouf of the way), it's a waste of effort in Skirmish and Domination. |

k... i aint much of a snipe but....YOU ARE SO WRONG DUDE.... heres the reasons why snipers are good and you are whining....
1. a sniper with communication to a team is the eyes of the battle field.
2. snipers do massive one hit damage so they can weaken enemys very easily .
3. in ambush snipers usually get a positive k/d, which is ALWAYS good.
4. post a sniper with eyes on a hack screen.... tell me how useless he is.
5. the first shot from a sniper can scare the **** outta some1 totally disrupting their objective.
6. take out squad leader disrupting whole squads objective.
7. can see farther than anyone, i know thats useless on a team right
8. creates confusion and fear when flanking groups. which inturn...
9.makes enemy moral suffer.
10.increase lines of fire.
.... and im sure more that i have missed, but theres ten reasons why your post sucks and is wasting space. so in return for the enlightening info and a bump please admit snipes are at least alright and take down your post. 
thank you and good day sir.
...i do see your point though.

I'm sowwy yeah I pretty much do this when I'm not in a squad, but it is public matches after all. What I do differently from some in solo is I try to start logi towards an objective, then peel back, to a supply depot to go heavy forge on a target of interest, or else I go commando with a sniper and some other light weapon. I try to stick around a supply depot behind the objective. I don't camp one spot, still takes some luck for me to rack up extended kills, but heck, I'm still working on gun skills after dumping all my original sp into heavies, so don't hold it against me when I really don't want to use that without good squad support, especially w 1.4
all that said, lets hug this out and move on. |

You'll be surprised at how many snipers don't venture too close to our red line. (be it 9 o clock, or 3 o clock position) I usually catch them at 11 or 1. just near their red line. (unless they are on top of buildings)
anyway, I like to haunt at the enemy red line, cause most of the time if I don't get the hav that I wanted, I sure as hell will get the one getting called down.

I think what you're meaning to say is that bad Snipers are useless, aka the blueberries sitting in the redline with a Militia Sniper Rifle trying to get that one kill the whole match.
A good sniper that positions himself well, is in a squad, and communicates enemy positions well is a pretty valuable asset to have. Granted, if your team is getting stomped it's not like putting that sniper on the ground is gonna change anything. Snipers who cover squad mates and effectively counter-snipe are pretty awesome. When you are in a game and not getting sniped constantly, chances are you have someone keeping the enemy snipers busy and off your back. The best snipers are the ones you have no idea about: "Oh wow, this objective is totally clear and has no uplinks surrounding it" Yeah cause I killed everyone and sniped all the uplinks..."
It's when half the team takes up sniping that gives bad rep to the snipers who are actually being useful. Killing forge gunners/AV, sniping uplinks, killing enemy snipers, keeping high ground clear, watching objectives, these are the sort of roles a good sniper should employ. The ones sitting on the redline because it's "safe" are who you can call "useless". |

meh my opinion hasn't changed, I still hate other bad snipers on my team, and I really hate when the teams get over saturated with ****** snipers, especially since they all seem to snipe from the exact same hill and I just want to hit them with an lav or something like it was bowling.
anyway on the rare occasions I've been teamed up with good snipers it's been fun, and we've been a great asset to the team, I just tend to shy away from squadding with snipers because even me being useful this build is hard enough, let alone using two slots for snipers.

Regarding equipment choices, I think the ground level sniper is well served to place backup uplinks for points for which he is running defense/overwatch. I'll normally run in and drop an uplink in a spot with good cover that is ~50-75m away from the point so that if a point is getting over run, there is a logical uplink to spawn at to rapidly retake the point before it flips. Most of the "bad snipers" people complain about are those that are trying to maximize their personal reward and minimize their personal risk, often at the expense of the team. In this case, I would argue that their play style and risk aversion is dictating the weapon they must use. Thus, they're not really a sniper, but rather someone who wants to get a handful of kills without risking anything and therefore must use a weapon with a long range. |

or get killed in the process. I find it cool to snipe unaware enemies in spots where they least expect it.
What is the most hardcore is when I take cover and then BAM I'm dead lol. |

Correction. Players who suck at their role are usless.
I was about to post a rant thread about vanilla assault guys; but, posting here is good enough for now.
You assault guys suck at your job usually. This forces me to have to give up on being part of the assault team and fall back to sniper to try and push back/eliminate as many targets as possible without getting mowed down repeatedly at CQ.
You know what? It works. Being able to stay up and keep firing into the area to at least push targets back if not outright kill them has done more than being another idiot who keeps pushing repeatedly into an area and getting downed by concentrated fire. You don't cap **** if you can'teven get passed the mass of targets camping the objective.
There is a situation for everything and the vanilla assault role is not the end all be all swiss army knife gametards think it is. |

The overwatch they can provide is invaluable, although a Flux scanner is arguably more useful. Green snipers are good, especially with a mic, overwatch is great. Its the blue ones up in the hills that are doing nothing for the team that I particularly don't like, because they aren't playing Skirm and Dom because its an objective and team based gametype, but because they don't die there.
Criticize me all you want...but do you ever stop and wonder why the node that I'm closest to is never hacked by the enemy? Because I'm sniping any of the poor souls that happen to come by. It's when you'd have an LAV pull up with three heavies that all hack at the same time that I'd fail in my mission...but now I have Remote Explosives for just such an occasion!
As a sniper, my job isn't to rush out ahead of our advancing forces to try and clear a path; my job is to hang back and ensure that we don't lose anything you've worked so hard to gain. |
