Fact of the matter is, not many snipers can guarentee 25+ kills every map they land upon, so whats the issue here?
Scout, 1st set of proto safe spotted uplinks, then get shot in the back while hacking with 4 blues watching me
Scout, 2nd and 3rd set of uplinks. Again get shot in the back with blues standing around trying to high five each other like in DAY-Z
If I don't see a decent heavy in the killfeed, or a squad that needs my support, yeah I'll snipe but I tell you what, I never go back to the merc quarters without 20+ dogtags and top of the board.

Sniprs are a part of war, its just about tactics, snipers are a tactic and a very good one. Explain to me why I should have a sniper in PC?
Heavys and Assaults in armor before you see them, forge gunners, no problems, you want tactical information about anything at anytime? Ask the pro sniper what the next move is. Incomming hardware and its location? Tankers know how valuable this is, some scout is flanku... dead.
Yep She's Dead & Danja Dom will tell you of a fragmented score of 30/1 in PC , that 1 took 2 Pythons and a Charybidis with 2 Heavys , everyone redline suicided including the Pythons. They NEEDED to stop me.

Kills are important but I am and always been a suport player in dust. I hardly pay attention to how many a sniper does or does not have. It's more about contributing to game play. I have had the chance to play with some very good snipers in dust. That will communicate intel, cover you hacking, cover an objective, actually be able to support the team as a sniper. Those are few and far between though. sniper is a crutch for the low skill or poor players a lot. As you pointed out if your team sucks you go snipe which is exactly what i do. Which I have found soon as a few players do that you bascially give up the match instead of fight for it. This is compounded greatly in fw when you lose isk. Every player that goes and camps as a sniper takes another player off the field.
I have posted this else where.. we have a DIRECT CORELATION BETWEEN TANKS 514 and REDLINE SNIPERS
It happened in 1.3-1.4 (I think) when we all used to jihad lav, and go ape about tanks being broken AND say snipers are useless...
Fixed Tank OP, everyone stopped hate on snipers, TANKS 514 everyone hates snipers...

Fixed Tank OP, everyone stopped hate on snipers, TANKS 514 everyone hates snipers... I have a higher success rate at killing tanks then snipers. I can use RE, proxies, forge, swarm, proto AV nades. I can routinely solo most stupid tankers. Even when my team as been red lined i can go and kill tanks on most maps. sniping in that situation is nothing but a give up ( and i admit doing it myself as some maps if you are redlined you are pretty much trapped)
Because you took the tine to figure out how to avoid TANKS514, how many maps have you played where your screaming at stupid blue dots to just LAV up and gurilla the reds home socket and work back... it is not all a proficient snipers fault.

I will say it again WHEN TANKS ARE OP EVERYONE HATES SNIPERS. LET ASSAULTS BE ASSAULTS AND THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO 'TRY' AND SNIPE
