 I was sniping with my Thale in Caldari FW today, and somebody decided to pull out the Balac N-17 Sniper Rifle (or whatever it's called lol).
 
 Then I saw an RDV coming, so I looked to see if it was friendly or not, and it was. But because I was bored, I decided to watch him for a bit. He was driving up the hill to where the sniper was, and I kept watching him.
 
 The guy popped out and started shooting the guy. So you know what I did? Popped 'em clean off the mountain. The sniper had almost no health left, and then he left the match.
 
 I wanted to send him so mail, but I didn't catch the guy's name.
  
 Why do people hate snipers so much?
 
 Considering how the Balac Sniper Rifle is one of the rarest Officer weapon this game has to offer, I would be appreciative if somebody was to bring this into battle. Not try to teamkill them.

 Simple. They are willing to run into the fray and die several times without hesitation. They don't care about strategy or even trying to stay alive; all they care about is taking out as many as possible before they are taken out.
 
 They don't like snipers because they have been killed by them to many times. So they would rather kill someone that is out there trying to help their teammates because that is the only time they feel that they can get revenge for the snipers that are on the other side killing them.
 
 They are ignorant SOB's that would rather loose the game than help (or work with) a teammate.

 I fail to see how 50 kills, relaying intel to my squad, and weakening the enemy front for the ground troops is considered useless.

 Because, while too many tanks is somewhat unfair... too many sniper rifles, is just dumb and will make your side lose.
 Sorry, you dont get any game-level help to protect you from stupid teammates.

 50 kills are a lie I usually get around 20 kills but I'm still useful cause before every shot I tell my team what's going on, tell them the locals of vehicles, and estimates of reds at objectives.
 All this while simultaneously sniping into an objective to prevent hackers, protecting as many team mates I can (I feel a little twinge of regret if I fail to save them in time even if just a blue), avenging the fallen, or putting the hurt on protos and heavies

 How'd did we get on an inaccessible tower?
 If we got on then it's an accessible tower

 You look at it the wrong way. Imagine the grief that could have been caused had that sniper rifle been lost (It also increases said value of anyone else's)! Personally I am indifferent to the EVE level of greif-age that goes on.

 Because when we get taken out by anything else in the game we can go to our fittings or change up our strategy to counter them. Redline snipers have no counter and so are immensely frustrating to players.
 
 The ideal situation would be to force snipers out of the redline so we can outmanoeuvre them (At great risk and expense of time crossing the ground to get to them) so we can turn the tables on them in a balanced game mechanic which doesn't allow players to essentially be untouchable while they kill the opposition with impunity.

 im afraid he still lost that sniper rifle... im pretty sure that quitting a match early causes you to lose whatever fit you were currently in. im not 100% sure, but i swear ive losts suits ive tried to save by quitting before.

 Because nothing ever gets done!
 
 For instance; I set up a squad finder and jumped us into a Domination and it turned out 4 of them were snipers.
 Ok so they relay GÇ£intellGÇ¥ and get a kills here and there but when you need to do that push on the objective and go for the hack; those snipers are too far away or are unwilling to get off their sniper perch and come and help. Ok so maybe these 4 snipers I had were just rubbish, but even if they were good snipers getting 50 kills your still useless in my opinion, leaving the hard work for everyone else willing to go into the thick of it.
 
 So the problem here is that nothing ever gets done; no pushing, no hacking, no nothing. Relying intel is all very well but its pretty useless when pretty much everyone runs active scanners and is getting better intell than any sniper could ever give.
 
 Snipers in my mind are useless, annoying and to put it blunt: a bunch of camping pus*yies. I don't mean to sound harsh but do you see where IGÇÖm coming from?

 Wrong.
 
 People hate snipers because while the team is winning or losing, the snipers will do nothing to aid their team. There will be a small percent of infantry and the rest are snipers, who are hiding in the hills. While the team is getting hammered, snipers continue to camp in their position.
 
 Meanwhile, there's no intel given over comms. Rarely does a blueberry get a "rescue kill" from snipers. Critical kills such as Null Cannon hacks doesn't happen.
 
 Now this should go without saying, but I'm not talking about ALL snipers. There are very FEW good snipers out there, not many though
 
 To an assault player that is living their own version of "All You Need Is Kill", the majority of em don't respect a sniper for he hasn't done much to help his team.

 NO, NO, NO, NO! This is even worse; you're taking more people off the ground, which is less people to try and get a push or hack and because you dont often play the pussyie sniper game you're mostly likely to be even worse than those devotded pussyie snipers and doing even more of a useless job than them!

 As far as sniping goes, I'm ok. I have the charged with prof 3 and 3 complex damage mods but I fall under nub sniper because I do it when I CBA but I do close support sniping by swapping the charged for a tac sometimes, tac ar or tac sniper. Like anything in this game though I'm only as good as I can be bothered to be at any given time.

 Useless sniper? Some of them ya.
 
 If I'm sniper I spent a lot of my time shooting uplinks my team can't see, killing scouts coming around back or dropping that heavy that's behind a crate recovering even the logi that's repping from cover.
 
 If a sniper's doing his job, and doing it well, you probably wont really notice.

Then I saw an RDV coming, so I looked to see if it was friendly or not, and it was. But because I was bored, I decided to watch him for a bit. He was driving up the hill to where the sniper was, and I kept watching him. The guy popped out and started shooting the guy. So you know what I did? Popped 'em clean off the mountain. The sniper had almost no health left, and then he left the match.  I wanted to send him so mail, but I didn't catch the guy's name.   Why do people hate snipers so much?  Considering how the Balac Sniper Rifle is one of the rarest Officer weapon this game has to offer, I would be appreciative if somebody was to bring this into battle. Not try to teamkill them. Well done bro!

 Two topics here:
 
 Snipers - They are a very part of the Team. But more than two on your side, and you might just be in trouble. But if they are good, Then it's undoubtedly important. I have been saved by snipers on my team in more than one occasion.
 
 Team Killing in FW - This game has it's issues with teamwork as it is. But i've been noticing a lot of people going into FW in groups with the sole purpose of team killing. It's sad, it's just sad....

 The ideal situation would be to force snipers out of the redline so we can outmanoeuvre them (At great risk and expense of time crossing the ground to get to them) so we can turn the tables on them in a balanced game mechanic which doesn't allow players to essentially be untouchable while they kill the opposition with impunity.
 
 That is why we hate snipers
 How many times are people going to b*tch and moan that you can't counter a redline sniper? If they can shoot you, you can shoot them. It's that simple.
 
 Now, if you want me to come out of the redline...all I ask in return is that you give some sort of aiming reticule to at least make hip firing possible (while having a rough idea of where my bullet will actually go.)
