Dear snipers

Get your cowardly asses out of the red line and help cap an objective, dropping half a guys shields while he is on the ass end of the map away from anything important isnt helping

dear snipers don't be jelly cause mine's so big I need to mount it on a tank.

sincerely rails

Amen to that, that's why I usually try to fire a shot across their bow to get them to move. Comes in handy for that all too important defense of an objective that's being bandied about as the exclusive domain of assaults. If I can get them to move and duck and cover then that is more effective than a kill. See I'm not just about kills! Lol.

I give up a lot of kills to take several guys down to armor at once or make them move to the far side of an obstacle to help corral them for assaults.

I'm a sniper

You can't find me because I hide in the planet's period stain

May I join your super cool cha channel?

Yep, back to topic. I'll join you channel on my sniper character. But, it is going to be a problem if you get anti-snipers in there.

Sniper is never useful, recon is very useful. A sniper is just some dude with a sniper rifle a recon supports his team, covers lanes, and gives info so the team can work better as a whole.

I just want to say I think its hilarious the guys getting up in arms and taking it as a personal insult when I tell them that hiding behind the red line is a puss move and rarely contributes and them going "Well I dont do it those other guys just suck" is the cherry on top since Ive actually seen a couple of you in battle doing exactly that

Atiim I have seen you sit on top of a ridge in the redline of Manus Peak and your dot never moved, your name never showed up as killing anyone, and a big chunk of the fighting on that map took place around objective B when it was that big warehouse type installation IE completely indoors and out of any firing lane you had so you going on about how you made a channel for good snipers and how not everyone is like that rings hollow to me

And as for Operative rambling about positioning and what spots are optimal the red line is rarely the optimal spot especially with variations in the installations that can be on the map, hell the manus peak example proves that, and someone willing to go down to where things get rowdy usually make much more of a difference simply because he gets a better firing range
For instance I was in a match on spine crescent and locked down the bridge with just myself near A and an actual decent sniper providing over watching standing on top of the installation at D

I applaud you creating a place where snipers won't be criticized and can meet like minded players, so please understand this is only supposed to be constructive criticism. If by squading up only to snipe, you mean no one will be running straight infantry; that could be a problem. You would need to make sure other blueberries aren't also sniping otherwise the ratio of snipers to infantry could be too skewed to hack and keep objectives. I just hope you weren't being literal.

I probably could, yes. But first I ask that you use PUNCTUATION, such as a PERIOD at the end of your bloody sentences. If and when you can manage something so simple as that, I'll definitely stop insulting people... just as soon as you do. Now you're a 'tardy AND a hypocrite. Well done.

There should be no more than 2 Snipers in an effective squad. So I hope you arnGÇÖt making full squads of snipers, or you are going to generate a lot of Sniper hate from the Blues on your teams.

Edit: Sniper is a unique role in that if you do it wrong you generate more hate from your own team than doing it right would generate on the opposing team. Read my guides, and focus on helping your team win. DonGÇÖt make Snipers look bad. There are plenty of noobs doing that already.

I approve of this thread, my fellow sniper brothers and would love to join the channel sometime.

I'm online now yea

sniper here, prof 5 and comp damage.

I have operation lv 5 and prof.4 and I use Thale or Charge

Can I yoin?

At some point I'd like to try an experiment: let's queue sync 16 prototype prof III+ snipers into a public domination match, then see if we can clone them out from the redline. Whether it works or not, the tears will be delicious.
