While i agree red line snipers are just..pitiful..seriously besmirching us snipers, but real snipers can still find a way in tighter maps..also, snipers are meaningless? they don't contribute?....like are we suppose to hack stuff for you and put the logibros out of jobs? while you go around guns a blazin?...or are we suppose to stop the other team from breathing by shooting them through the skull or jugguler?....to quote one of my favorite snipers in this game: "real snipers don't gather intelligence, they make sure there is no intelligence left on the battlefield" - something along those lines..me personally, i go all over the map - whether it be my favorite perches or behind the corner waiting for you with my NK...snipers are LONG! DISTANCE!

Should they be allowed to snipe from behind the redline? The real question is, should brainless AR users be allowed to pointlessly run in circles around an abandoned objective? The ratio of AR users to snipers who do nothing in a battle is far higher. Meat shield dies 20 times... x3 meats = 60 of 100 clones down the drain. In case you forget clones can loose the battle as well. I'd rather have a useless sniper on a hill than a useless AR user careening us to clone defeat. What is it about you guys that you all assume everyone is an AR user? Or better yet, I get accused of being an AR Wh0re on this board all the time; like its an insult... Newflash: I DO NOT USE THE AR!! Not everyone is convinced that's the only way to play this game (although I'll probably convert sooner than later) I'll still take those meat shields on my team, because they can: -hack objectives -get more kills cause they aren't restricted to one side of a map -farm WP by being a Logi all sniper think about is their KD, because its the only stat they have that's impressive. Yet all the highest KDs in the game have the worst Win/loss percentages I have ever seen... when DUST has a game mode that rewards you team with winning by having the single best KD on the team, then I'll consider sniping more relevant. Sitting there and averaging 1 kill per minute isn't really doing anything...
restricted to one side of the map...only think about KD...and still on the objectives.
1.) have you ever met a good sniper so far?..i mean really good?...like one that goes all over the map not just to perches? or that goes from one perch to another?
2.) my KD is like..not good..91/138...do you think i care about my KD?...wanna know what i care about?...making sure the other team doesn't live and doesn't reach the objectives with their heads intact, wanna know how successive i have been? those 91 kills are all from those that tried to mess with my team, even if it is full of blueberries sometimes.
3.) i've already asked...do you want us to put the LogiBros out of a job?...if i remember correctly, real world snipers stay thousands of feet away and snipe the opposing teams grunts/frontline and make sure they don't live to hurt their comrades. Stealth brah..stealth...that is what a sniper is for, more stealth than scouts..

Your argument against snipers is like saying if Logis are doing there job healing, what good are they in cloning a team. There are many classes that are like snipers, poor scouts and also dropships. I don't hear Dropship pilots or Scouts talking about how they are the heroes of most matches in DUST 514. Do snipers need more to do in the match other than get good KDR games once and a while? Yes. But everything a Sniper can do, everyone else can do it better, and then some.
where the heck did you get people saying snipers are the heroes of matches?...

It takes skill, i did that just a minute ago, headshotted two people trying to defend their point and allowing my team to seize it. If it is a swarm of red dots i doubt i could do that, maybe take out a couple but that's it - but it is possible.

Truth be told, if they eliminated the redline ability, I am all for buffing Snipers. Maybe then, they'd be more of a threat and taken more seriously by the other team. Unless its a Thale's to the head, A sniper can't really OHK me if I'm running my typical fit. Snipers usually are on the receiving end of +25. They will have 2-3x as many assists as kills, and the kills they do get are just finishing off what their teammate had started... Nobody with any form of experience in this game fears snipers... Sure, I'll drop on Orbital on them, but that's just because its a big time saver than flanking for 2km to just Charge my SCR into the back of there head. 1.) Most people don't redline snipe, so I wouldn't care. 2.) Most of my kills are generated from 2HKs with a Kaalakioita, or an OHKO from my Charge sniper rifle. I don't rely on finishing what people started to generate kills. You aren't even a PRO sniper so I don't see why you think you can make a generalized statement about them. 3.) I'm glad they don't fear snipers. That way they won't be keeping their eyes peeled for me when I introduce a charge shot to their face. 4.) Drop an Orbital on me. I don't care. You just wasted 2500 WP and I could easily continue sniping as well as snipe the idiots watching the last spot. And the 70k it takes to restock my suit is nothing when I average 250-300k per match. blah, blah blah... nobody buys you fictionalization of recounts of what you wish would happen in games. Ever wonder why snipers make highlight reels instead of posting full games on YouTube for example? You say that you're squad clones other teams while sniping? Show me a game where a squad of 6 snipers got 25 kills each, or even a collective of 100... Just because you had a decent game once, doesn't mean it happens the majority of the time (or 1.10th of the time). So, tell me about a time where you WEREN'T playing starter fit noobs, or tell me about a time you were doing all this heroic stuff in P/C.... I'll wait for you right here. My squad can Orbys fer days, dropping one on you is more of a troll than anything. You having a fly buzzing around your head, you swat it; kill it for being annoying. we know we didn't accomplish anything by dropping it on you, we just wanted to laugh. Because our team is actually doing work and getting Orbys, while you think you're being some make believe Black-Ops Navy Commando and not earning your team any WP or decent amount of kills.
You are hard headed and stubborn and i can not take what you say seriously, anymore. I have stated truths and all you do is dismiss them with crazy backwards logic. If i see you on the battlefield...you better believe i will spend the whole match...stalking you and annoying you..all the while helping my team.

I would say a million ISK to anyone who can kill me twice in once match with an SR, but I actually remembered it already happen once. Some guy name docholiday1... I'll admit, after I died the second time, I took a 3 minute jog into the mountains just to put a SCR round into the back of his head. How dare he annoy me like that  .
I really like this part, it actually made me laugh. Those jogs are fun ain't they? work muscles into those legs. FEEL THE BURN!...of a scr to the back..sounds painful. but as they say. NO PAIN!~NO GAIN!
what really made me laugh was the "How dare he annoy me like that" part..the face didn't help either, hilarious..props to you, even if you are so stubborn - you made me laugh. I like you a little more..but i still snipe you. SNIPE SNIPE! pew pew.
