What you do is protect them by standing directly in front of their sniper rifle. They always like that.  |

No no no... they need more cover than that. Call in your LAV and they can "hide" under it. |

Dropships and tanks are slightly bigger and would be easier to 'hide' under I would think. Try calling in one of those directly over them, perhaps? |

I say it also depends on if you pissed them off in other games??
I.e. I run militia minmatar scout and in a few games some folks sent me mail telling me to stick to the forums.....lol.
You see I went 10 and 2 in my militia fits and they went 17 and 2 running proto.
Its ok since my fits cost from free to 5k average when running militia.
So I was running solo and I see these same folks on my team again.
You see they had four tanks in one game with 12 of our team just riding around in tanks.
That leaves four infantry.
That was three snipers and me.
I was the lone scout assault and I got mail telling me it was my fault that they did not win since the letters were not being hacked in a timely manner??
Excuse me??
1 versus 16 assault infantry is not going to end well....lol.
So I see them again on my team and I say kitten this lone ranger assault so I went with militia sniper fit and refused to do any objective hacks.
You see sometimes its not the bluberry being an idiotberry.
Sometimes its the bluberry saying yeah its those guys again so this time kitten trying to help them out.

They really appreciate it when you call an LAV on top of them.

A couple guys I know were sniping and apparently someone who was pissed off just pushed them around with a LAV ad-nauseam. It was his only mission which he stuck to for the entire match. Don't know if he lost one too many suits to them, hated blue-berry snipers, or was helping a red-berry on the other side. |

Team deploy would have to be factional warefare only otherwise it's gonna destroy pub matches so bad that even more people will leave other than that team deploy is still slow to come |

That moment when you have 3 of the 4 objectives and then a sniper puts an uplink on the roof of a building and everyone spawns up there, meaning no one is defending on the ground.
...so you end up getting redlined, and then find out 10 people are still up on that tower sniping. |

Blame CCP the game did not have this problem in the older beta builds they created it for some reason and won't reverse the change.
just don't reward wp for kills made while in your own redzone. Color it in yellow I don't care just make sure the same thing that kills us for going into the red zone keeps snipers in check as well. Get in there and fight!
It's not like you cant kill people while over the line. You'll still get a kill.
Of crouse the game also needs to make the rewards you get from playing greater than the passive gain... the game also wasn't always like that either... we used to get most of our sp from how well we did in battle. Some times we wouldn't do so well and we'd get less. That kinda sucked I guess but did someone complain?
Please cpp do something about it, the tips on the loading screens tell us how earning sp in battle works. "you earn more sp through your performance in battle" But it's lying, you get 90% of your sp reward from sitting around doing nothing. Thus the AFK farming. But also the red zone sniping.
Think about it, back before the beta ended it wasn't a good way to get sp to snipe from the redzone. Once they changed it they took away the only thing that stopped people from sitting around in the redzone. The game used to reward you for getting into fights. Now it just rewards you. Fix AFK farming and redzone sniping by simply tweaking it so passive in battle sp gives 50% of what it does now and warpoints are multiplied by 4 and rewarded as skill points. I suppose with a cap of 1000war points per battle if they must. |

Wait, wait.
Before you call in the LAV or stand in front of them make sure they aren't actively defending the closest objective (since the team is getting owned on the field).
People pull this crap for ***** and giggles even when I'm by the enemy redline for crying out loud! |

So if I jump on a turret that's in my redzone *which isn't fully clear at times on the map, and use that turret to take out enemy turret's/dropships or use it to defend, I shouldn't get wp's or kill points ?
Biggest problem is the maps..
Sometimes the only place to be as an sniper, high enough to defend an objective is being in the redzone.
And this was pointed out a few times in closed and load of times in open beta. Which we were promised new and bigger maps.
Which I have to admit the newer maps are great, and is cutting down the amount of redline snipers, some of the old maps are still in play hence we will always have this problem until they are removed and rewrote.
There are ways to kill a redline/tower sniper.. and that's by counter sniping, try it its fun :).
As they are fixing the rendering problem, I can see the old problem of tower tanks being use'd more and more, you know those tanks high up on a tower with a lip so AV swarms dont hit them.
