Dear snipers. Understand what your role is. Stay back in the redline or anywhere else you are supposed to in a largely protected position. This is what makes you a sniper.

If you move closer to the combat you are a marksman, affectionately known as a sharpshooter. This is not a role you use in a military combat zone. It is used by law enforcement during a localized, controlled environment usually dealing with hostages

Remember, the objective of war isn't to run in machine gunning up the place only to be yet another statistic against a group of enemy combatants when you can easily shoot the whole damn group by yourself. It is not to simply try to hack, hack, hack a position when you should be providing other useful aspects that make for a truly winning team.

Remember your patron saint of sniping, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock who taught us to pray:

There is no hunting like the hunting of man
And for those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it
Never care for anything else thereafter


I'm pretty sure dropping the guy's shields would get me a big thank you from assaults that get an easy kill. See a true sniper helps his team with kills not just go for kills himself. If you can be back to where you can get a tight group of targets and drop all of them down to armor then it's easier for assaults to mop up the whole group. Done it, seen it work and one the position with it. I don't care where the shot is from.

Words of a redline sniper...your not helping the case

redline snipers are players abusing of a game exploit, overusing a limitation designed to protect players from mcc camping, anyone doing this kind of things should not deserve to be playing, a sniper should take advantage of terrain, like towers, that what snipers do, and althought i hate being sniped, it is a valuable and indispensable role, redline sniping is a disgrace, they are not even in the legal part of the battlefied, and dont come telling people that abusing game exploits is sniping or even saying its a role, it is not

last I checked most maps you can't defend objectives so while your mindless killing from redline I'm watching objectives and who said I had to be closer to the battle from the spots I snipe at it still close if not at max range depending on map and if you want to compare accuracy go right ahead but I can bet you I'm helping more than you

Dear snipers, pick up a repair tool and babysit my fat ass instead.

[God, this is giving me flashbacks to the mortar guys who bitched about the riflemen, who bitched about the machine gunners, who bitched about the TOW missile guys, who bitched about the admin pogues, who bitched about the Navy guys, who bitched about being in the Navy.

Excuse me, this is a video game forum.

Formalities are not necessary here.

Shut your frickin mouth. How have you any right to demean his military service simply because your stupid opinions differ? Truly the mark of a childish punk. I'm AD USMC. You insult me with your f***ing arrogance.
