DUST Search - Why Hate The Sniper? ~We're Useful Too!

I seriously don't get it. I mean look at all of the helpful things we do for you:

Intel

We snipers are best at doing this. No Active Scanner nor Scout has the radius of 500+ meters, while also being able to fire back at the same time. Wondering what objective the enemy is pushing? Done. See an RDV flying around but don't know what's being called in? Easy.

You want an extra bonus? CCP's awesome rendering ~~glitch~~ feature allows me to see through walls sometimes! Yes, that's right, I can tell you how many enemies are camped by the entrance too!

Flanking

We can also help flank an objective with you as well. I can take down targets during your push, cutting down the amount of enemies you have to face. If your push fails and you are forced to fall-back or retreat, I can also start popping heads too; which prevents your enemy from pushing forward.

Point Defense

Provided we have a good spot, we can guarantee the locking of an objective. You have to be in one spot to hack, and strafing won't help much when we know you have to remain in one static area in-order to hack the objective.

That crowd of enemies who were just trying to flank you? I can turn it into a mere pair of people.

Demoralization

Yes, I can demoralize the enemy too.

You ever get that nervous feeling when you see a prototype Sniper Rifle on the Killfeed? The very thought that at any second, your expensive suit can be turned into DUST?

When the enemy sees a sniper rifle on the killfeed too many times, they get very nervous. They'll begin to panic and will even try to send people away from the battle to counter-snipe me. But unless they are also "gud" they won't be able too because they don't know all of the true hotspots. But I will enjoy the free kills.

I know that Snipers are one of the few things that still prevent BoundlessVizamImperialDuvolleKalikiotia Rifle 514 to go un-opposed, but please don't hate us for it.

Stop calling us useless because the AFKer in a starter fit decided to grab a sniper rifle. At least give thanks and credit where it's due.

You should also be humble and say thanks to the tankers who combat enemy armor, for the shock troops who get really down and gritty around the objective, for the logis makeing the WP and helping the team to get orbitals, and for the scouts lighting up the map so you can see where to shoot. Sniping by nature is done from as far away as possible, and the majority of snipers do it from the redline. And when there are more than two snipers on the field that's when the team starts to get into trouble. As my main man Crazy Kula loves to say "snipers don't win matches" Especially when so many do it when they give up on a match. To be fair, i don't mind sniper support. And thanks to the snipers who covered my ass. But its the lowest on the set of priorities of choosing squad mates and how i approach a match. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.
