Dear snipers that like to sit in the way back in the redzone, eff all of you. it is one of the worst ill honored B I T C H move tactic I've ever come across in any FPS, especially when an entire squad decides to do it, and counter sniping you brings me a joyful but shamelful sense of satisfaction, I shouldnt stop what I'm doing in a game to go and equip me rifle and shoot snipers that think they are smart and "exploiting game mechanics" and snipers that dont know how to properly watch their own asses in the active zone and its sorta like reverse spawn camping....or a more literal meaning of it.

And ccp needs to either not give them sp for doing this (sorta like in Killzone 3 when you cant hide and get points outside the active area)....or after a certain amount of meters not allow this to happen. Snipe like a real sniper, you'll grow better that way >: D

Lol, "snipe like a real sniper". Somebody needs to read up on real sniping. Yeah, snipers are a *****. That's the idea. WP? What's that? Can I shoot it?

There are a sh*tton of places a sniper can't hit esp. If shooting from the redline. You have found the solution too in countersniping.

I don't see the problem other than the same "everything ought to be basic, vanilla assault" arguement.

It is apparently effective and valid game play.

You obviously dunno what sniping is or should be like in terms of fairness (which is an aspect that usually either makes or not make people want to play a game) so that statement was quite invalid...just becuase something is possible to do..does not mean it should be done, but i digress...you should read a how to make a game book : D and yes a sniper in the redzone may not be able to hit on the other side of the map or opposite sides of buildings, but sometimes there may be a target area on their side, or a serious battle going on in their field of view

And yes they can be counter sniped..but thats it..thats all one can do, im fortunate enough to have spec'd into decent sniper rifles and I just happen to be ok at sniping, but for people that dont, its a real pain and not fair that redline snipers are in an area that is literally unreachable by land or air, stuff like that breaks what would otherwise be a good game.

and being a sniper isnt just about shooting ****, its also about securing and scoping out a good area, using their head, and a vantage point, though you may think hiding in the redzone is all of that, it really messes with the integrity of a game, in no situation irl (or other games) is there an area that people cant walk into where others can walk, thats just called bull.

Also...it's literally a B I T C H thing to do...usually why other games try to negate that problem

Your just aggravated because you want everyone to be in range of your Assault Rifle? Or are you just incredibly lazy? If you actually had a sniper rifle to switch to this wouldn't bother you at all. Snipers call the redline the "free kill zone" because we shoot INTO it if we want a few more WP.
