57 kills.

but only 5 headshots......

Still dang impressive, but com'on......

Not impressed. If someone has to use an officer weapon just to be relevant/useful, where other classes dont have to use one, obviously there's something wrong there. Anyone can farm a bunch of blues in pubs with an officer weapon from the redline uncontested.

where is this saving your teammates with a sniper rifle happening? all i normally see is ppl sitting in the redline taking random pot shots at players running around in the open nowhere near the OBJECTIVE..

i seem to use more orbitals on redzone snipers than i do on the large cluster of enemy players.

ive never really come across a helpful sniper.

i dont see sitting on an extremely tall tower or hill within the redzone picking off the weakest suit on the map as helpful.

Snipers generally do well like when most are doing well, IE the team has locked down the objective and are just stomping the enemy. The snipers I have seen leave the red line get killed if they are actually helpful as I know if no one else will I will hunt them down.

That said, I have seen plenty of Thales or charged snipers, but never have I seen one leave the red line. On top of that, I've never seen a Thales sniper that wasn't head glitching either which I always point out and I always see ignored in every sniper thread. People QQ about "Pro" snipers, because the most damaging ones sit in red lines on maps where they can and thales snipe while exploting POV bugs since the camera will stick out above a red line hill while your head model doesn't. Even if you approach them from the side they will wear a 1000 ehp suit so that if you head shot them once from the side they will sprint down the crest of the hill and hide until they have full hp then readjust to POV bug towards where you hit them from.

Most maps place the red line cliffs above nearby cliffs that will actually render making counter sniping all the more of a nightmare.

Sniping is broken right now for everyone else, that's why so much hate is thrown at snipers. That's why people call orbitals on redline snipers. Because, the red line + head glitching removes all plausible counters beyond an orbital that the rest of us who are trying to actually play the game and not be an exploitative jerk would rather deal with like an orbital on the main enemy counter attacks.

You pro snipers that leave the red line no one is complaining about you. They are complaining about over saturation of snipers on a team or the redline glitchers.
