Thanks for the heads up but your stance is that good map design = no red line sniping? Don't you mean, good sniper = finds LOS regardless of map design?

You saying, "Who makes a military complex that doesn't obscure LOS against sniping?"

I've have given this some thought and I realized that we can try to block LOS with objects but then the routes around those objects become target points for the sniper. Does that make sense? Leme rephrase. By playing with the map design to make it hard for snipers, we will actually make it easier for snipers. A good sniper will always find LOS to a high traffic target point. You are a veteran sniper so you understand this right?

I don't know about that... it got you to cry on the forums then subsequently quit Dust (again?).

Maybe I shall rephrase. By trying to block objectives LOS with map design we in turn create new points of high traffic for the snipers to target. So you understand that the objective is never really blocked.

Who doesn't "Love" the combat rifle
We all "love" it because you can spam a trigger and get 3x the bullets per trigger spam. Nothing kills quicker nowadays. It's not balanced in my opinion. Close, but not.

Didn't get your app yet !!!

So you ran into their red line just to tea bag them? Why...? That just makes you look like a 9 year old (no offense)

I am just impressed that you managed to Tea-Bag two players that died way behind their Red Line. You are either very fast, or very committed to Tea-Bagging.

So you based your conclusions about the players of this game on two matches?

lol

Couldn't agree more, and no I wasn't the numnutz that tried to smush you in a viper.

You went out of your way, wasting valuable time you could be spending earning a victory for your team to kill a specific player (marginally useful) and then puesdo-humiliating that player (tea-bagging, useless).

Sounds like that sniper did a real number on you.

Oh and I wasn't QQ'ing, you were pumpkin.

Teabagging seems like a good way to discourage new players. That poor boy/girl probably quit the game after that, cried a little, and then went to play their 2DS.

While I don't approve of tea bagging, I have to say kudos for doing it past the redline. That's some hardcore dedication.

I think counter-sniping is a legitimate way of spending a match. Winning is fun, but winning isn't everything. Player experience is where it counts. Nothing beats an awesome aerial dog fight in ADS against another ADS. Or the tense-heart pounding battle between two snipers shooting at each other from different mountains. What about the heavy who is desperately trying to cover open ground while Murder Taxis are trying to run him over, and he succeeds!!!

These are the kind of stories that will bring new players. Dust hasn't reached the point yet where winning actually matters to a merc. So in the mean time we should play how we want, with what we want if it means we are having fun doing so.

Exactly, Sentient. You spinusthisglorioustaleof being so rusty after not playing Dust in4 months (liar)and then proceed to explain how you owned these players behind the redline and went on to a 4 KD in game.

Then you tell us about how terrible for the game the redline is. What?

Either you epeen is stuck between you teeth or I have somehow misunderstood your compelling argument of why the redline is an obstacle to your superior gameplay.

Gtfo

yeah, I see what you mean. I've never been in a battle for Planet Control, my corp has never been rich enough to try to hold one down. I imagine those are the battles where everyone runs 70,000+ isk proto suits and proto modules and gives it their best.

That's a little out of league for me, my suit costs 2250 isk.

In Dust you shoot the bag (of bones) you dont tea..... ? Unless you're English then you certainly do TEA, 2 sugars?

how can it be the best and balanced? stopped reading after that
