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

Correction, a sniper that gets where they can get a kill and from max range even if in the redline is a real sniper. If you need to be closer to the action you are a poor shot.

Oh that must be why I always see snipers taking up strategic positions close to objectives taking advantage of the wide open space leading up to it to pick off enemy reds like a shooting gallery

Oh wait, 99.99% of people I see with sniper rifles are hiding behind the red line or camping on top of a tower

But you know what guys keep doing that, please, I cant tell you how much I like popping dumb enemy "snipers" with my thales

We aint jelly, we just only want sniper snipers.

Yeah yeah, everybody hates snipers.

I've got news for you.

We don't care.

Now, shut up and stand still for a moment.

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

Again, point missed. You get where you are effective. The redline is just another part of the map. If you can hold an objective near the redline and get to the targets it is a valid position.

Dear Haters,

Well for one, I'm sorry that your parents didn't love you enough to teach you common sense. You clearly have never ran into or squaded with good snipers. Because good snipers tell you where everything is, what is being called in, where the enemy is and has far better range than any active scanner. And they can help with fire support

Squad up with a good sniper and then try to have a way hate us for a good reason.

Hi a friend of mine created a chat channel call Snipers Incorporated just for snipers to hang out in. We only want snipers and you have to be a dedicated sniper. (At least an NT-511).

Also we would really like if we only had people who snipe, meaning if you squad up in this chat, then your doing it to snipe.

And before you ask, no we don't want Forge Gun snipers, and no we do not count Railguns as snipers.

PS I know I put this in the War Room, but I also wanted it in General Discussions as well

i dont get how your supposed to kill a sniper? most never die cause they hide so far out you cant get to them and you die from them everytime u walk by. cheap much? ill be fighting one dude then out of nowhere oooahh another charge sniper k0 from a dude i wouldnt find if i had a half hour to look-.-
they should make a change to snipers to where occasionally your sniper blows up in your coward face and kills u that way

I wasn't being literal. I'm just saying that you should at least expect to do some sniping.

Hi I use a Thale and red line snipe, let the hate mail begin

at least the dude knifing you in the back has to get that close.. much differant when a sniper who is HIDING shoots you from 10 miles away and claims to be good at the game

Right, right says the guy who only ran dropships back when they were unkillable.

Sniping?
Lol!

Run towards sleeping sniper and setup a meter behind them.
Snipe! piano sound!! headshot kill at 1M...lol!!

OH MY GOD. Your post is damn nigh unreadable. That may be the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen someone write. If you can't make an intelligent, readable argument, STFU. Holy wow.

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.

I guess you guys are going for the record of Matches Lost ?

Wow, a lot of butt-hurt whining sniper haters crawling out of the woodwork. All I hear from you whiny losers is blub blub blub through the tears flowing down your face.

I'm a sniper 99% of the time and guest what. I don't like it when I get sniped either. I don't like it when I'm run over by a LAV, hit by a tank shell, blasted by a grenade, fall into a vat of acid, eat some AR rounds, take a shotgun blast to the back of the head, or die by any other means.

However, you won't see me QQing about any of these (unless it's landing in acid after leaping from the MCC).

Also, I will suggest, there are some maps that I'll take out a Thales on. When I do I'm going to want to not lose it if possible... so if I'm in the redline killing people attempting to hack objectives you'll just have to live with it.

You sniper haters are just going to have to live with your butthurt. Well, that and continue to convince CCP to make maps less hospitable to snipers.

If you prefer a different weapon that's fine. However, compared to most of the sniper rifle stable the Thales kicks butt. And if you can counter snipe me then there is no need to whine about where I'm situated, is there?

However, you'll have to hope I don't see you first.

Excuse me, this is a video game forum.

Formalities are not necessary here.

Then you sir, have never faced me in battle when I use my AR or HMG(Beta). But I cant say that for true for you may be an ALT, could it be I owned you many times before and you are afraid to show your face.

You have my permission to invite me. Itsmellslikefish king sniper.

The only sniping I do is either behind an objective defending, or just behind the enemies headshotting them if possible. Funny story that happened today: I was sniping as usual, then suddenly a LAV full of protobears ran right into me. I survived, then the second they hit me, a proto heavy, Caldari assault, and gallente all jumped out and insta killed me. Scared the **** outta me. Moral of the story: never snipe on low ground.

Proxy mines and remote explosives are your friend

Woo! Let's crash this party with our railguns!

Or even better, literally crash into the party by using speed boosters to drive up the mountainside and ram everyone inside of the sniper nest!

Eh? Eh?

Okay, fine.

I agree, actually more than one might be too much.

The CQC guys are super important for taking objectives. Snipers can't easily do this in my opinion.

BUT a full squad of GOOD snipers (snipe, move around, hack, scout, cover objectives, counter snipe) might be fun to try, as long as the rest of the team are CQC guys. At least one dropship might be good, as well. Running sniper/logi rigs can be useful so we can support our team while not sniping. There is nothing like setting up an uplink right beside an objective in the enemy's rear.

There is a full scout squad I've seen out there that seems to do well, so maybe we could at least try a full sniper squad.
