Playing sniper yesterday and was using my Thale(hugs it) and using the red line. Here comes the boo's. I do not care if you hate me, I like being the villain. Also if maps were designed better I would not be using the red line. There is no decent place to snipe from on most maps. Most views are blocked or most areas are wide open and you are to easy to be seen. Back to my story. So I was head hunting and doing a very good job at it. So it was near the end of the match and I should have called it a day. That is when an orbital goes off in front me, missing me by a few feet. Followed by a suicidal Cal Assault that is able to get in some really good shots before they died from red line exposure. As I am trying to recover and find cover a sniper takes me out. I am not mad, I was actually happy. It took them an orbital, a suicidal assault player, and a sniper to kill me. I felt special to have that much resources dedicated towards me. I have been solo orbitaled before and for me its not upsetting, its a way of them telling you. You are such a pain in our A** we will use any means as necessary to kill you. So i foolishly and had a few to many beers make my way back out to get in a few more kills. That same sniper that got me the first time, well they got me again. Eh, live and learn. I lost a few Thales but I know I have more and this only made me a better player and sniper. Not a QQ or rage thread.


So I have shared my story, now tell us in what way did another team make your death special?

Using Officer weapons I pubs just makes you a target and since orbitals are free... here have one .

Even if he got 1 kill the whole game... if I saw it was a thales and I knew his position. I would waste an orbital to make him lose it.

Respect, bro.

I don't specifically redline, in fact I try to avoid it if possible.

But I love those games where you start to rack up kills and the reds get really, really irked. For me it usually starts at 10 or 12 kills.

Suddenly a clown car loaded with clowns in assault gear comes screaming out of someplace and drives, hell bent for leather, right toward me.

They unload after trying to run me over a few times and immediately start tossing grenades and firing every weapon known to DUST as I run like a frightened bunny.

They usually kill me because I'm laughing so hard I can't see cover.

But man, nothing else tells me I've done my job well.

From what I gather is if you use a Thale you are more hated than a tanker that goes 50-0 in a pub match. This gives me so much more incentive to use Thales. TY. I have also seen more people using them lately, and I think the trend is growing. The reason is the Thale is the best sniper weapon. The Thale is the way a sniper rifle should be in game IMO. If you think Thales are bad wait for the uprising of the Rail rifle, let the tears flow. Sweet salty tears.

Not really hated just I'd rather cost you a million dollar weapon than killing noobs.

Also people use it because they can hide farther back in the redline than with a Charge to further protect themselves/ hide.

One proto Logi and I, in a basic med. Gallente with an SMG and MD respectively, defended point B on the Impact Ridge Skirmish map for an entire match by ourselves. We were the only ones defending, even when the opposing team held every other objective; blueberries would spawn in and run to capture a point (and fail). The entire match, raspberries kept pouring out of all 4 stairways and across the bridge. I died epically so many times I lost count, but it pleased me to no end to see them start throwing proto assaults and 2 heavies at once at us, they even blew an orbital on the bridge just hoping to get us. We lost the battle but the 2 of us owned that point period! The Logi actually got hate-mail afterward.

I have hard time putting cost on an officer weapon for it was salvage. I do believe they are worth a lot, but if I play a lot and I know I can earn even more.

Next time you redline snipe against me watch out for dropships...

I love blowing up these flying coffins. +75 WP for swatting a fly.

Usually when I see that happen the guy with the Thale's is a stupid b;tch with nothing better to do.
