Do you find more respect for grunts when you see them do well equal to my new respect for snipers when I see one do well?

4) PS4 or XBONE?

5) If someone is in plain sight, what is the best thing we grunts can do to get the heck away from that final kill shot?

That is all.

Most snipers in this game are horrible, they are just lazy players looking to pad their KDR and look for a low risk playstyle, they no nothing of cover and concealment, they stay in the same spot the whole game, usually in the redline next to hives and spawn beacons that give away there position, or silhoueted on a hill, after they are killed they go right back to that same spot to get killed again, instead of using scout suits for mobility and low scan profile they opt for tankier suits with high profile and high hp, these are the redline snipers, they are horrible players and I have no respect for them, on the other hand I have great respect for the mobil sniper that is out on the battlefield staying hidden and helping his team.

I never understand the concept that a sniper on the move down on the ground is more useful than the sniper in the hill overseeing the entire battlefield. If you are running next to your squad mates with a sniper rifle.... you sir, are and idiot.

Everything Dies Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 381	Posted - 2013.12.27 21:04:00 - [2] - Quote 1. The only time I feel bad is when I kill a person more than once and then, after the battle, see that they went something like 0-10 for the match. It sucks that my Kaalakiota with three complex damage mods can one-hit kill new players, but it's the only way I can hope of bringing down the heavies and logitanks. 2. Don't think I've ever been scanned as a sniper; if someone can get that close without me seeing them, I deserve to be killed. I have been killed by scouts, though, and others that snuck up on me while I was too focused on the scope and not the mini-map. 3. Honestly don't think I've ever sent out a GG message (or received one) when playing as a sniper. I will, however, send a post-game message to a fellow sniper if he/she was sitting in the middle of a nanohive as they snipe, oblivious to the fact that you're painting a great big bullseye on your clone. 4. PS4, after the first price drop. 5. Be erratic. Don't just run in a straight line. If you can, find cover; if not, accept your death but make a mental note of where the shot was coming from. Respawn in a sniper build and take them out or---if you're feeling adventurous--throw on a scout suit and hunt them down. Snipers HATE being shotgunned in the back of the head from point-blank range. Life is killing me.

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 2276	Posted - 2013.12.27 21:16:00 - [4] - Quote I have proficiency 3 in sniper rifles but I don't consider myself a sniper. It's more of a hobby to mix things up. 1. I only feel bad when rookies are being red lined and I will let them break out. It makes for a more interesting fight anyway. All others are valid enemy targets. I tend to be more of a defensive sniper too or focus on eliminating other snipers and those that have the high ground. 2. If I'm scanned I stop and look around. I hunt snipers more than I snipe so that probably has something to do with it. I also listen for footsteps and gunshots. I'm amazed at how often I've killed two or more snipers sitting next to each other. 3. Half the GG messages I've sent have had negative responses so I rarely send them now. 4. Mac ;-) 5. Avoid open areas after you die to the first sniper. Use a cheap LAV. Be erratic. If I'm sniping at you then barely moving is enough to avoid my kill shots. // Spike Lieutenant // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana

That is all. I'm not much of a sniper and always think it makes sense to mix it up rather than find an elite hiding hole and pop people from safety. But for the times I have sniped, I would say: 1) TAP TAP ... then I curse my trembling hands & poor aim .. re-load .. Oh, looks like they hacked it, 2) I never ignore it .. I usually break cover and get turned in to dog food. 3) I still consider myself a n00b. Everyone gets my respect at the moment - and if I get found out and popped, I know the game is working as intended. 4) PS4. 5) Kangaroo the hell out of there.

Heavies who know how to hide/find cover before my 2nd shot, yes... 4) PS4 5) if you can't find cover, just stand still and let us finish.... thanks for your questions.... 250,000,000 isk....what's in your wallet...??

That is all. 1. No. as a sniper, it is my job to do what is expected for me to do for my team at that time. 2. For the most part, I just ignore. I am found by fellow scouts or dis-grunted mercs that have been sniped by me, and I have not re located to to being a hot spot at that time. 3. Messages, rarely. But, once in a while I will wind a GG to whom deserves. 4. PS4, have one, and ready. 5. In the words of Riddick, "KEEP MOVING". If you are still for more than 2 seconds, and I have you in my sights, night night. Pure Gallente

Heals Vaginas lcritMYpantS 76	Posted - 2013.12.27 22:14:00 - [9] - Quote 1) Do you ever feel bad taking someone out that solo'd one heck of a fight to get a NULL? Have you ever just said "well, let him get the hack points and THEN I'll fire" or is it just TAP TAP? Tap tap tap, reload tap tap tap, reload tap tap tap. (I accounted for the blue flare **** hit dtection and null cannons weird sheild that blocks random shots, but then lets another pass through the exact same place, and also the absurd HP compared to sniper damage) 2) I personally notice that I scan snipers and scan them and scan them and scan them and they never move. Do some of you just ignore it because you think a grunt will ignore trying to find you? I have to ask this b/c I had a match today that was probably the funnest match ever. I just kept finding snipers before they perched but it was as though they didn't think the scan applied to them or something. Most snipers are staring at the dot in th center of the screen, not many have awareness of self and surroundings. 3) I've read some posts that has given me a new respect for a good sniper. In addition, I receive two messages today telling me I did a good job. This was from the opposing team while he/she was trying to snipe me away from a NULL, mostly unsuccessful.

No scrubs a scrub, good game don't change ** 4) PS4 or XBONE? Once price is reduced, PS4. Xbox is a huge mass of crap that strives to be a PS4, runs almost as powerful until you remove cores dedicated to things that are kinda spooky, like the cam that doesn't turn off and the hideous windows 8 5) If someone is in plain sight, what is the best thing we grunts can do to get the heck away from that final kill shot?

Snipers HATE being shotgunned in the back of the head from point-blank range. 1.Agree 2.Agree and If i am scanned and i notice it, i move, if i'm in my scope, i dont notice it. 3. I've sent them and received them. 4.Agree, probably used or online after price drops 5. In addition, remember that snipers lead this means we set our reticle where your going to be sometimes. So strafing back and forth in the same pattern after the first hit is not advisable. We also trail which means we watch you get chased by the reticle monster until he catches you and you die, So your first reaction to sniping shouldn't always be jumping, as a matter of fact jumping is one of the worst things you can do its slow and predictable. I will set my reticle to where your going to land and wait for you to fall into my bullet. finding cover and being completely unpredictable is your best option. Move left right forward backwards (try to run forward in any direction moving backwards slows you down). I'm right behind you...
