First off my military history proves that I know how to do my job and do my job very well. Yes, I know how to work with squads and be on my own. I also know you can't snipe from the same spot all game and I do have a SMG side arm to run with squad. Stop hating and read what I actually wrote! I do not red line snipe, but CCP is taking away all other areas to snipe from. Rule no one in the service...do not snipe unless from cover! Its factual. So I am not going to run out into the open plains and start firing so I can be a huge target! You non snipers realize that we have to put a very small bullet onto a moving target and we don't get splash damage! So it takes quite a bit of skill. On the grand scheme of things if you are going down in one shot then you must be a scout with no armor and my answer to you is learn how to run out of patterns and strafe. When I run my alt scout I never get sniped because I know how they think. Yes, you can get the occasional 1 shot kill by hitting a scout or noon, but it still shouldn't take 4 plus shots to kill a heavy and I don't care what you're reason is! If I shoot a .50 cal sniper gun at any person with any armor on then I am placing bets with my unit what body part I can take off and they are dead! I can also stop any vehicle in its tracks but a tank! By that notion alone, don't you think the future would have better or equivalent weapons. Not these nerf guns. Just saying. Taking my military history out of the equation, I still write our sniping guide for my corporation and handle all sniping questions so I do know what I am talking about. Ultimately, if you are not a sniper or haven't spec'd into sniping then this post does not even pertain to you so I don't understand why you would give your two cents when your opinion on the matter is useless and juvenile considering you have no knowledge on the subject aside from what you read or being on the receiving end of the sniper. I don't tell heavy forges what to do or assault mercs what to do and even though they kill me, I understand their role on the battle field. Why is there so much hatred for a sniper when anyone can spec into an assault and run n gun. I speak from experience because I throw on a free suit and go with my alt all the time. It is way easier to rack up war points through hacking and kills when in a squad. As a sniper, you put yourself out there with out back up because you are too far away from your squad for them to help in time. Not to mention you don't really want other snipers in your vicinity so they don't give you away. Not unless you only care about padding your stats and not winning the game. I don't pad. Sniping is screwed! |

It's called Dropships. Buy a MLT one and get on top of a building or up in the mountains. There are plenty of cracks and crevices that are relatively easy to access, you just have to be adventurous... and I spec'd into level 1 snipers to use with my commando, I do alright.
Also, if you're going for bodyshots all of the time you're not going to take a well fit and intelligent heavy out easily... I've had my dumb moments, but I learned how to make snipers a non issue by sticking to the enclosed objectives when I can... If not I'm in an LAV moving between objectives... or hunting snipers down.
When there's an overwhelming presence from vehicles I'll switch to my FG to tower "snipe". More often than not I'll be getting hit by charge, kaalikota or even sometimes thales... which screw everyone over. When the sniper is able to predict my movement they can take me out with little to no problem. But when I'm outmaneuvering their aim they tend to go for body shots and that gives me time to hide and rep.
And we're dealing with a different universe... it's New Eden, present day, everything has energy shields that actively dampen the impact of projectiles and only the heaviest of suits have enough armor to survive intermittent sniper fire...
A .50 cal explodes a huge chunk of metal at about 2,800 ft/s... Destroys most of what it touches IRL.
Dust 514's sniper rifle (a railgun), magnetically propels a sliver of metal at around 2,500 m/s... If this was a weapon IRL it would be mounted, hard. Probably just because it would be too heavy. |

Snipers already get to play at almost no risk...so no, they aren't broken, quite the opposite. |

Now, 100% factual!
A sniper shouldn't be able to just set up on a mountain and kill with impunity. So the new maps are great because it requires snipers to MOVE if they want to be effective. Damage is also totally fine. |

You know...I have to say that I feel like you're totally wrong. I really do.
I am not exactly a dedicated "sniper" but sometimes when me and the team I am on are getting our asses kicked every which way from Sunday...I will throw on a militia gear fitting with a sniper rifle and pick me off some enemies and up my kill ratio and war points and try to lessen how many times I get killed (my ratio .60...I get killed A LOT lol)
I constantly find amazing places to snipe from...plus I've been playing for about 3 months now and I can remember which spots work and which spots don't and what not.
I think the problem you are having is that you're not seeing the big picture of the environment. The new maps? OMG so many places to perch and snipe from. There is one new map in particular...I don't know what its called but when I see Domination mode come up...it feels like Christmas to me.
No one thinks to look there either because its so damn high off the ground, but accessible by foot if you're clever. All the old favorites are still there too but I feel like CCP tailored the new maps for snipers...which is cool and fair for them. Its a duality thing...we have indoor, close quarters combat which is ah-mazing for grenade wars and nova knives and we also have such great perches for sniping.
I think you just want sniping to have the same excitement as running and gunning with an Assault Rifle or Mass Driver will have. Snipers are patient, silent and steady....they sit and wait for Mr. Enemy to step the wrong way and BANG! Dead.
Every once in awhile you get lucky lol no joke yesterday this "sniper" kept respawning in the SAME DAMN SPOT 8 times...I was perched up in a hidden spot and took him out 8 times.
There are TONS of places to hide on the battlefield...even some that you almost cannot be seen in. You notice this when you see the other team dance around in plain sight and they have no idea you are there...its hilarious.
So yeah bro...get to looking. The spots you want might not be so obvious to find for you....but they are there. Time to put on your thinking cap and get clever!! :) |
