Actually i think being a sniper is about finding A broken position you can camp in so long as it helps the team, when its no longer advantageous you move along. That being said if you don't need to move to continue helping your team AS A SNIPER then you don't need to move. If your no longer helping, you need to move and find the next whole in the enemies defense and set up there. The combat inside those compounds/sockets is to fast paced most of the time. I have fought inside of them as a sniper and i have been successful there. It's not impossible and i have done it, but, that is not what a sniper should do. We get this whole map to work with and then we're reduced to work within 1/10th of it.

ahh thats the problem.

snipers arnt supposed to be able to find a broken position in a game.

thats what balance is.

I think that is being a good sniper and snipers were "getting to many kills" so enough people like you complained about it and now it's been "fixed." I want more of the old maps. i want people like you to cry when a good sniper ruins your attempts to kill his team or hack his objectives.

new maps are very sniper friendly.

they just arnt built so that the only counter is another sniper.

before you could just sit up on an unreachable tower and be invulnerable to everything but other snipers.

now you actually have to think about where you are and move with the battle.



think of it as taking the training wheels off.

Dude if the majority of null cannons are in 1/10th of the map you will more than likely be expected to contribute to the battle in that 1/10th there are only 16 people a side, that enough fro 2 squads and 4 left over, there aren't gonna be hundreds of battles to choose from!

Sums it up.

Yep, and a whole lot of running room, or maybe i could just race my LAV around the outside since no ones there of AFK off in the middle of nowhere because everyones crammed together in a COD size area fighting for objective with the walls put up to cut off the snipers.

Do you know what I do to snipers who do that? Introduce them to my shotgun!! Multiple times, you see we can deal with being sniped, if the sniper is taking a risk to do it, he's taken a risk he got a reward, I took a risk jg didn't pay off, if you expect to sit on hill sniping people from where you can't be hit, well guess what that time is over, and my shorgun is waiting at your redline!

Or you join in, and make a difference instead of bumming around look for easy risk-less kills!!

-reference- everything i've already said in this post, did you even read it all?

LOL, this guy.... hes funny

i called it, he wants to sit on a tower invulnerable to everything and call it "tactics"

Pretty sure I never said that.

If you're going to cut quotes down, please do it right.

wth do you all think of when you think... sniper?

Good Sniper: Mobile long-range supporting fire.
Bad sniper: Camping kill-hog.

You all are funny, sniper are supposed to run around, snipers are supposed to be in the middle of it with the team, teamwork!
wth do you all think of when you think... sniper?

First it Monkey not Garrett!!
Secondly if you have no problem with me putting a shotgun in your face in feild, why have you got such a problem to me doing it in a compound where you have more chances to hide, more opportunities for traps, and more opportunities to kill more people!!

Yes I have been reading it all, the one I was responding to was complaing that because the majority of the match is going on in a small section you have nothing to do, so get of your behind go in there and change the battle!! If there is nothing to do move to somewhere where there is something todo!!

my bad, it think i did it again

If you put snipers into a game, make them snipers. If not.... take them out. No gamer in their right mind likes a sniper as a matter of fact you hate snipers. If they're in a game, sure reel them in make them less effective but don't take away the primary role.

This is what we think, notice how hes a little closer than 100m, in a flanking posistion, taking care of the enemy, to help his team advance!!

He was able to sit back and snipe into an open area. you cannot do that with some of the new sockets. that was the whole point of this thread.

They haven't taken away the primary role. It's actually made more viable in DUST than most shooters, which make snipers into killing machines isntead of a tactical resource. Adding the ability to see who the squad leaders are in 1.5 has made snipers even more effective, because you can preferentially target them and eliminate the guy about to drop an orbital.

you CAN

thats what were telling you.

everything you think is wrong... isnt actually a problem for anyone but you.

I'll tale your word for every sniper in dust
