ok so you are arguing about red line snipers being bad, cheap and a poor sport of a player when they just sit there and snipe people. but to me, sniping out in the active areas isn't fair for snipers when most or all of their spots are rendered useless or in the range of AR player. I don't red line snipe, but trying to find a spot out in the active area is very hard to do, and most times not worth it when the battle isn't happening around there. active snipers have to actually walk around and look for the battle that may not be there when they arrive to help out, only to be in the range of the AR or laser user, and not being about to do anything with whatever sidearm they have in time to fight back. want to talk about fairness? make it fair for snipers somehow to use their sniper rifles better by opening more map spots, or tweaking the rifle itself. snipers can't do much of anything within the range of AR, ScM and lasers. |

The first half of your argument is almost like saying OMG im a shotgunner..its unfair that I dont have range! you pick a class not just for its perks, but to also accept the consequences of picking the class and taking to those risks...also there are plenty PLENTY of places on the active map that are well hidden and hard to get to also a good sniper knows that after several shots or if their position is compromised MOVE to a different spot its call strategy and watching your butt, like the nasa rocket ship looking- building or the phallic-shaped sky scrapers, even big arse heavies can snipe with forge guns successfully if they're good enough...I'd hate to see how redline snipers fair at sniping in any other shooter that has no redline...and for the record i didnt say they were bad till someone just pointed it out...and it isnt fair that a person can sit on a mass of land with breathable air and atmosphere and for some odd reason other people can't walk around in it without dropping dead all of a sudden, shot gunners dont get that if someone is outside their firing range. Though I will say, in defense to your argument that snipers should be able to go either prone or cloak themselves (which I hear is gonna be coming soon.) I am a sniper/ Shot gun main, and when I'm sniping I occassionally look around, I scope out the immediate area, zoom in on places other snipers are likely to be, and the places that are in my field of view, and If im not carrying nova knives (which i use to hunt other snipers) im carrying a pistol or sub machine gun, maybe they arent rifles, but they get the job done when needed (though not everyone has proto sidearms) **** everyone is so worried about their K/D they'll stoop to anything in this game instead of getting good (not aimed at you, i was still talking about the redliners)
I only red line snipe when i get to that point where i am forced there. other then that, i constantly try to snipe, move around, do what i can do, and if i can't, stay and snipe within my squad. i carry a pistol or nova knife with me as well, and i f i can fit it, a SMG. sniper's to me need to be able to have more stable aim when running and ADS when they skill fully into it, since they are specialized in it, but instead it's used more for when we are stationary and get a smaller sway within a few seconds (when standing) or none at all (when crouching), but when moving, no aim at all. most times i have to find unusual spots to snipe from, just because all other spots just aren't that good (by that i mean always watched and not worth it). my only complaint isn't about red line sniping though, but how to tweak the sniper rifle itself to better its limited uses |
