[quote=Mayor Maynott]This is becoming ridiculous. There are too many redlline snipers in domination out there getting fat. They really don't help their team at all, just themselves and their kdr. I have seem a 60-2 in a domination before, and he lost. It really does suck the rock paper scissors aspect out it if they keep pounding on you and there isn't anything you can do to get him out of there. And on the opposite side, I hate having them on my team, great or not, because that leaves the team on the ground short. If you have too many guys on your team who fancy themselves snipers you lose. I don't care if they go 20-0 they still can't push on an objective, they still can't counter-hack. I understand you have to have a safe place to start/rally, but in Dom it is broken. How about you make the redline unable to be shot through? How could anyone complain about that? Only those who break the game and hide from being chased down and squashed could ***** at that. Maybe a 1 to 2 minute time limit in the red-zone? How about you kill it altogether and let me go chase that little bastard down without a suicide? Something has to be done cause Dom is a little pit surrounded by snipers. I don't want the sniping role taken out of Dust, it i helpful sometimes, but it has no place in Dom.

This argument is so... so...pointless that I don't know where to begin... Almost everything here said can be twisted around back on basic infantry of every type. If a sniper actually got 60 kills there is no way his team would have lost. Even a noob team can steamroll the opponents if one guy is killing that much... "Snipers cannot push on an objective" is an utter crap statement made by someone who knows nothing of actual combat tactics. If the enemy cannot approach an objective, what does it matter if the person shooting is 20 meters or 200 meters away? "Because they're not playing MY preferred role everyone else is useless!"--- The basic concept behind this ego-centric post. Having no grasp of the flow of battle will tend to do this. The only thing snipers cannot do is hack points from a distance. However many people also fail to realize there are plenty of infantry players who never stoop to touching a point, they just kind of hover around it looking for people to shoot. Of course those people are conveniently ignored because they're of the same combat role and they're not as easily singled out for finger pointing when it becomes "convenient". As for complaining about redline sniping, If you're not willing to learn how to use a sniper rifle to hit people back in the redline (INCREDIBLY EASY TARGETS BTW) then you REALLY DESERVE to get shot every time by those snipers simply because you were too lazy to try and actually get the gear required to deal with the situation. Again ego-blasters feel it to be somehow blasphemous of their particular weaponistic religion to switch to an alternate weapon scheme as a situation tactically demands. It's laziness at it's highest caliber. You complain on the forums instead of getting a rifle and shooting those sitting ducks right back.[/quote Sniping is not useless at all, and if you ARE tactical it is a huge help. But the majority of ppl sniping are doing it to get fat on kdr and isk. I have watched someone go 60-2 and lose, just as I'm sure you have gone 30-0 and lost. If that's your thing then fine, but don't act like it sways the battle one way or another. You may be able to pick off 1 or 2 from a squad that's hacking the objective, but you're not gonna stop the hack. And what could be your problem with taking away the red-zone or making it smaller? It's still a big map with plenty of places to hide, you just can't count on someone not being able to get to you, if in fact you do matter in the battle and need to be taken out. Maybe it doesn't have to be as dramatic as changing a core element in the game, give me a bullet trail to follow and I can deal.
