General Sideboob Ground Pounders Inc. 113	Posted - 2013.10.16 15:28:00 - [1] - Quote I love seeing these noobs sitting on the tops of buildings or loitering in unused corners of the map, couldn't care less about their team. They sit there getting a few kills while their mcc goes down in flames because too many people are sniping and not supporting their team. I used to snipe them back but then I realized it's better to just let them think they're winning and move on to another objective. Thanks snipers.
Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 3935	Posted - 2013.10.16 15:34:00 - [2] - Quote Too many blueberry snipers is probably the #1 cause of defeat in Skirmish.

iceyburnz Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 1150	Posted - 2013.10.17 17:40:00 - [4] - Quote Snipers seem to be coming back. Would be interesting to plot battlefield class trends since beta.
low genius The Sound Of Freedom Renegade Alliance 721	Posted - 2013.10.17 17:41:00 - [5] - Quote honestly, snipers on your team is like having empty spots, except worse.
taxi bastard S.A.C. Strategic 7	Posted - 2013.10.17 18:01:00 - [6] - Quote fecking hate battles where half your team is on the hillside and your facing a 2/1 situation on the ground. when your in that situation all you can think is that your in a team of cowards or K/D ratio whores. good snipers on the other hand are worth their weight in ISK, problem is most snipers are not good or just sniping because they don't want to die.

Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 613	Posted - 2013.10.17 18:07:00 - [8] - Quote Oh boy, here we go again. I can say the EXACT same things about assaults. I've been in one too many assault situations with useless, "cowardly"? assaults.
Skihids Bullet Cluster 2277	Posted - 2013.10.17 18:11:00 - [9] - Quote I've had some matches where I've laid out ten uplinks around the enemy, but all the blue dots spawn in the back and loiter. It's frustrating when it happens , but then I break out my sniper fitting as well and get a change of pace o it's not all bad.

DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 7021	Posted - 2013.10.17 18:14:00 - [11] - Quote I sent hate mail to someone in my Alliance today for redline head glitching with his sniper. I don't think it was even his fault, their team was getting curb stomped. It just aggravates me when I sit there shooting a sniper over and over in his head to no effect, only for him to counter snipe me. **** is infuriating.

CLONE117 Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 414	Posted - 2013.10.17 18:21:00 - [13] - Quote now how is the guy running around in the thick of the fire fight a coward? at least hes brave enough to enter.. the times ive gotten a crazy high kdr while out numbered by the enemy team. this is because it is one of those matches. where majority of my team is sniping or scattered about in random locations unknown to me and all i see is 2-4 guys running around on the ground.. while im un able to hack any objectives i manage to destroy the enemy team because they rnt even that good. yet they manage to capture the objectives simply because they have more players running about on the ground. snipers r a recon class.. they r supposed to point out enemy locations (which they dont) and use long range combat. and what i see most of the time is ppl taking pot shots at random players and objects on the battle. its ok having 1-2 snipers. but a whole team of snipers. well thats just one of the reasons they a have a sort of bad reputation in game.

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 1827	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:32:00 - [15] - Quote It's better when you have them on your own team and you can push them into the fight with an LAV.
Broonfondle Majikthies Bannana Boat Corp 332	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:38:00 - [16] - Quote Remove Sniper and Anti-Armour fit. One ruins the game by letting the fools retreat the moment they hit a setback in their master plan and makes the game unbelievably boring. The other is grossly unfair to any vehicle player out there (especially DS, they have no cover - Seriously? Everyone has a impossible to miss AV weapon?!?)
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 1006	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:44:00 - [17] - Quote Remember when snipers were complaining about lack of places to snipe from when the new maps came out? I said it then, I'll say it again - ******* Idiots.
calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 1110	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:45:00 - [18] - Quote I would laugh too if I used an AR...oh wait I do laughs his way to the bank

Quill Killian Better Hide R Die 267	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:58:00 - [20] - Quote If I see that a good portion of my "team" is composed of snipers, I shake my head, make a few runs at the objectives GÇö usually getting my buttocks handed to me in the process because I'm outnumbered and outmatched GÇö and then switch to militia gear and fume the rest of the match whilst wandering the map, looking for red dots separated from their team.

There's blueberry sniping. And then there is good sniping. I agree that the latter is worth it's weight in gold......mostly because I am one of the latter.....and I camp at the redberries redline just mess with them
Joel II X AHPA 42	Posted - 2013.10.17 20:57:00 - [24] - Quote A sniper once saved my life. One out of countless other times. I only snipe when I see that I'm doing horribly with my AR or SCR... ... OR see that I'm up against a team full of protos.
Dust Junky 4Life Intara Direct Action Caldari State 65	Posted - 2013.10.17 21:19:00 - [25] - Quote I say we need a match with ALL snipers on both sides. That would be fun.

Of course only the stupid snipers would get that close when there are plenty of weapons that can do that alot better besides not all snipers are that bad while it does suck having a team full of snipers the games that you get with only a few good snipers really ain't that bad

Blake Kingston Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 128	Posted - 2013.10.18 00:12:00 - [31] - Quote One time I'm no where near the action - start running toward it, quite a distance away. Get sniped. Oh hae, thanks, now I'm only ten seconds away, thanks sniper! Rarely do I see snipers make a tactical difference. One time there was a CRU we'd taken, but the sniper was covering the space between it and the objective. In that case that sniper was doing effective guard duty. And for myself, I've made an elevated platform full of reds be evacuated by my largely badly aimed controller shots. Didn't have to hit. Some snipers make a tactical difference. But it's hard to tell them from the ones who are just selfish and pointless.

Admonishment The Enclave Syndicate Dark Taboo 17	Posted - 2013.10.18 05:13:00 - [36] - Quote I love snipers to, especially the ones that head shot the brainless lemmings that continue to run to hack objectives after watching their team member next to them get head shot. I especially love the snipers that pick off people running in an open field before they reach the objective or kill a team member.

It doesnt take iron balls, it takes mental disability to seek out kills at 30- mts with the Sniper rifle when there are clearly better weapons for the purpose. For you and me, that's certainly the case. But I've seen at least one guy that could consistently get close range kills. For someone who can cope with the sway (not me!), the higher power scope on the SR versus the TAR probably helps with pulling off headshots even at short range. If he's more effective with a SR why shouldn't he use it? PS This was pre-1.4, it may no longer be a viable play style with autoaim and improved hit detection for automatic weapons.

Then each starter fit can have their own races AV ect. Also the sniper fit on my race (I don't know about others) isn't suited to the 'sniper' role. How many dedicated snipers use a fit that even vaguely resembling that?. Change the name to 'Marksmen' and give them the equivalent of a Mlt Tac AR and it would suit it better.

"There is no brave sniper"...I guess i'm not a "Sniper" from your vantage point. There are some snipers that don't just lollygag in the back of maps acting like a total yutz, not caring about their team. But, there are some that are in the back surveying the layout and sniping the lollygagging snipers..and actually help their teammates...there are "blue/redberries" then there are good snipers.
