Nobody hates good snipers.

A good sniper is someone who does his job.

- Stop hacks

- Hears callouts for enemy snipers, then counter snipe them

- The better snipers MOVE from their tent and camp fire to find better spots to help their team from

- A good PLAYER knows when to put the sniper rifle down, and get his arse off the mountains to help in the trenches.

Simple. KD doesn't mean much when you're sniping. What matters is how much you help.

I'd say area denial, like keeping the pipes clear in domination.

Now, I think everyone can agree that some mouth-breathing blue dot hiding in the red line, getting 4 kills/match is about as useful as **** on a bull.... right?

So that begs the question.... at what point do people stop hating on snipers?

10 kills?
15 kills?

Good intel and area-denial, plus "x" kills?

Snipers, particularly good snipers, have a role on the battlefield. So is the hate being generated directed towards all snipers, or just the bad ones?

Thoughts?

You forgot "a good sniper thins out enemy crowds". Much easier for your team to fight enemies who only have half armor left

Haven't you learned yet? Any role that isn't a slayer is hated. Watch the forums for Logibro hating, AV hating, tanker hating, sniper hating...the list goes on. I love my slayer brothers, but I also love all the other roles in this game (can't get enough of the proto scout ninja nova knives master who chases my heavy down and knifes me right in the face).

We only hate the redline scrubs

I used my Thales on my Sniper ALT and was going 10-0 + every game with no effort at all by red line sniping

When I land a dropship on them.

I red line snipe with my thale and go on average 20+ kills. Today was a great day 37 blue dots confirmed KIA. Hate me all you want, then you love me when I help slay the other team. When a sniper goes 4 kills you have no idea what they have had to do to get those kills. I have been there before, reason playing tag with other snipers can take time and it at least keeps them focused on me and not my team. So hate me, I do not care for I will continue to be me as my Kills are soon to surpass 20K. Its ok for assault to go 1 for 1 and end the match with 1-11 with 300 WP, why because he is not in the red line. Why I can go 20+ kills and I am hated because I am using a tactic that is used in actual combat. Sorry I will use what ever I can to kill, win, and punish the other team.

When they get to be useful:
GÖª Calling enemy movements to the whole team - CHECK
GÖª Protecting a certain choke point and/or Objective (like ''A'' in the 3 obj map) - CHECK
GÖª When they COVER their team instead of stealing kills from them - CHECK
GÖª After 10 kills - CHECK

When I'm hacking a control point and I finish, turn around and find 3 enemy bodies on the ground behind me but I am still full shields

Just like a good tanker knows when to get the **** out of his tank and speedhack the objective because there is no one else there to do it

FYI

-In real combat snipers aren't covered from being attacked by enemies by an imaginary red line that means they have a 300m + safety net

-At proto level if the sniper has skilled correctly he can sit in a 1k hp suit in the red line and only be killed in 2 + hits by someone else using a proto sniper/officer sniper rifle therefore the whole counter sniping argument falls out of the window expecting everyone to spec into proto snipers to kill snipers

I love having 6 or More snipers on my team thinning out the ranks. It means I get shot at more while I'm on the ground trying to hack the point by myself.

Seriously im seeing matches with almost half a team sniping. By your logic we should win that match.

That gets you sniped. I've done that to far too many "tankers" to pull that stunt myself...
