The sniper is easily the most important class of the game, but not without it's squad-mates. Being able to spot enemies for your Assaults to point their silly little guns at should be #1 priority. The only reason people hate them is because they can't snipe themselves, and they get their money stolen by them.
Snipers are also some of the most skilled people in the game. It takes loads of skill and patience to wait for someone to wander into your scope. Aim is also key, as well as area awareness. So much <3 goes out to snipers from Arty (Myself). |

I went into a match with the squad-mates and said I was going. Of course, I get the bull about not being a real valuable asset to the team, and so I tell them basically what I said in this thread.
After being laughed at a little bit more, we head into the match. Here's how it went basically.
1) Spawned in.
2) Ran to hill near MCC
3) Killed 3 people hacking Alpha
4) Moved to hill above Charlie
5) Started calling out enemy positions and threats.
I was able to see more of the field, and able to pay more attention to the situation. I didn't get the most kills, but I stole a couple from one guy in particular who thought snipers were uselss (You know who you are. ;D), and managed to get only 1 death from a glitch where I didn't get the message while on the edge of the redline.
The first minute or so of the game was like this:
Me: Alright, I have one on Alpha, taking him out *Kills first guy*
Squadmate 1: How have you already killed one person? I haven't even gotten to the turrets outside Bravo yet!
Me: Because Snipers are useful, no matter what anyone else says. I'm keeping Alpha clear, and you kill the remainder. *Kills 2 and 3*
Squadmate 1: Alrighty, well could you keep it clear forever?
Me: No, because I have to reload at some point. *Misses and Alpha gets hacked* Alright, onto the more useful point.
By the end of the match, he got pissed a couple times because I stole 3 of his kills. It was also me that spotted out the first 2-3 tanks, before they got blowed up, and then me who spotted the LAV trying to sneak around the back of Charlie.
So to anyone who thinks Snipers are useless, you're talking about the ones that are just in it to boost K/D. I managed to keep Alpha clear for about a full minute, and then kept on spotting out enemies for my squad-mates to prepare for and then destroy. Not to mention keeping the map clear of enemy snipers. |

When I started up my Dropship character, I spent the entirety of Academy (Pretty much one battle, given my skill and the fact that they're new to the game) outside my ship and on the ground, doing my free-fit thing.
The entire team, and I mean literally the ENTIRE team, was sniping. I couldn't make this up. I maybe saw 2-3 people outside of their redline, trying to get the objective, but they didn't that far past me. Basically, 13 snipers basically dooms the match for you. |
