That guy got an Orbital dropped on him TWICE (he somehow survived the first one)... But you know what? His team still lost. Perhaps the rest of the team was to blame? If someone singlehandedly kills over 1/3rd of the enemies clones, deprives them of 2 orbitals and probably netted a lot of assisted kills, I'd say he's been quite the asset to the team. 8213 wrote: I can earn more WP with a Swarm Launcher than the best sniper ever could. Keep on dreaming. How many HAV's do you think you can kill in one game?

Shows you don't know much about tactical gameplay. It's not about how many enemies you kill, especially in Skirmish and Domination matches. Good snipers also provide intel, lock down areas, kill mercs who are about to hack objectives and countersnipe. Granted, there's a lot of bad snipers out there. But the same goes for shotties, AR users, etc. Every fit has it's use. In some maps and teams more than others.

But quite frankly its just a method to raise KD. So which weapon in your arsenal can pin down an entire team, every other match or so?

They day i've died 100x by snipers is the day I take it all back... Let me know when you get a 3000WP while sniping too. So, non-snipers do all this on a regular basis? Just by themselves? And you get 3000WP every match?

A Swarm kills more than just HAVs Jr... I know, but how many people will still bring out their vehicles when they start dropping like flies? If you say you can get more SP with you swarm launcher than the best sniper out there, I call bullshit. Because you won't find a match with that many vehicles and dropships about.

If you say you can get more SP with you swarm launcher than the best sniper out there, I call bullshit. Because you won't find a match with that many vehicles and dropships about. Its called letting the enemies hack the turrets and supply depots, and taking them out along with HAVs and LAVs... If you're that ignorant about a swarm launcher than I'm assuming you're that narrow minded into thinking Snipers matter in this game... Like that'll give you 3000WP. Do the math!

"Don't worry guys, I got the guy hacking A... There I shot him... pay no mind that it was a guy in a Scout Suit... I saved the entire match for us... wait... 5 people are now hacking A... hurry up ground guys, do something, because... oh never mind, they got A" Snipers don't pretend to be heroes, or are a major factor in winning every match. But who does? Some matches and games suit them better than others. Just like running a shotty, AR, or swarm launcher.

He needs 2 more shots, and by then, I'm healed and long gone from the situation. If a sniper does 200 damage, he's not a dedicated sniper. A skilled sniper with damage mods easily does over 500 HP damage. 8213 wrote: I snipe as well. Not religiously, but i do it a lot. Mostly as a way to occupy my time while I AFK. I know most of the SR hot spots, so I know when to be careful(er) So you complain about snipers being useless, while you go AFK a lot? There goes your last credibility, if you ever had it.

A Swarm kills more than just HAVs Jr... I'm sure that you could. But that scenario would still be highly unlikely, because no-one would bring out vehicles anymore if you keep popping them every 30 seconds. And without vehicles to shoot, what are you going to do with your swarm launcher. 8213 wrote: You can get all the kills you want in DUST, but if they aren't key players, or kills that result in clone loss... they don't mean anything. True. But with all the mayhem that this guy caused (kill 1/3rd of enemy clones, survive 2 orbitals...) you can't blame him for his team losing.

Hitting a target at 1000 meters away requires some serious compensation for wind and bullet-drop for real world snipers, so unless you're gonna be forced to deal with that, then getting even more range with the SR will end up in the realm of OP. On the other hand, snipers in the real world won't have to deal with targets that vanish in thin air or invisible buildings from a distance of 200m or more. Sniping needs a buff for rendering distance. Once that's in place, we can discuss range. Besides, even with a proto sniper rifle you need multiple hits to kill anything but a newby scout. I don't think sniper rifles would be OP. They even need a slight buff.
