CRNWLLC Screwy Rabbit ULC 230	Posted - 2014.04.23 18:29:00 - [1] - Quote I love it. One of my favorite recurring complaints about snipers is along the lines of, "UR SO DUM Y U NOT B GUD N HELP UR TEEM UR COWWERD". Right--because when I'm on a team that's getting beat worse than Tina Turner, it's way more valuable for me to throw clones down the drain trying to run on the frontline (something I do adequately, at best) than it is for me to get at least a few kills and deny the enemy WP for harvesting my corpse (which, you know, adds to the odds of their calling an orbital, further obliterating out already sad forces). I encourage other snipers to contribute their observations of obfuscated anti-sniper propaganda, and ask our detractors to fling mad sh!t, for it is sunny outside, and I feel ALIVE! My other dropsuit is a Python.

I'm at work--if I was at home, I'd be playing Dust. Duh. As per my post, I was (am) already on a euphoric high. BTW, "it is sunny outside" was a euphemism for "banging Alex-P-Keaton Kramer's mom".

Fa sho--I've been playing assault/sentinel a lot lately, since I really want to improve my toe-to-toe gun game. But still, there's cost/benefits, ya know--after a certain point, it's most economical for me to switch to a scout or sniper. However, the more often I play on the frontline, the further out that point is in the match (and lately I've been running assault the entire match). I'm typing this and it occurs to me: on the one hand, you have the folks I'm making fun of, that will always oppose snipers for not getting into the thick of it when their team is getting stomped; on the other, you have the folks that b!tch about how cowardly snipers are for OHKing them and being "uncounterable"--I imagine most of these folks experience this rage when their team's getting stomped and their most valiant efforts to turn the tides on the frontline, in vain though they may be, go unrewarded. (I imagine these folks are getting stomped already because why else would dying once to a sniper be a big deal? Unless you go full t@rd and keep putting yourself in the position to get killed by the same sniper...) My other dropsuit is a Python.

I know this because I got him twice in the same spot. Who snipes from the spot where they last died? Idiot snipers do.....if you even get hit as a sniper you should RELOCATE IMMEDIATLY...plain, simple, intelligent decision...wait alot of dust mercs don't have that I think it depends on the situation. There are certain spots that offer very wide, clear views of the map, have good cover, are easy to spot, but otherwise a pain to get to. Also, if I'm running a cheap(er) sniper fit and already have 5+ kills from that spot, I'll usually just keep on rolling, since one death is a fair trade for an extra kill or two on top of the 5+. I think the better reason to move is because there aren't any targets--being willing to hold down a good spot that offers a wide range of targets to pick from and a good view of objectives is a sign of a baller sniper. I'm not afraid to brawl with anyone that tries to come at me; it's almost more satisfying to use my SMG to take out the sniper hunters that bring the fight to me. I've found that if I tank the first shot (which I usually do if it's not a Thales/Charge headshot), I can get to cover, rep up, and, thanks to not dying and therefore getting the red arrow indicating what o'clock the shot came from, an 8 time out of 10, pinpoint my counter and take them out. At this point, there's a 50/50 chance they'll either bug out or get desperate/go insane from rage--in either case, the ball is in my court. Just gotta keep scanning any openings where the counter might try to take you out from another angle. This, too, is a great way to get some extra kills if you're familiar with the maps, since plenty of countersnipers will try to take you out from another angle(s) that you may already be familiar with. In my experience, countersnipers (in whatever form) are not usually a huge threat. For this reason, I think it can be completely sensible to stick around after taking a hit. However, getting killed is a different story. You hit me once, shame on you. You kill me and I come back, shame on me. My other dropsuit is a Python.

I don't care how far back behind the redline you are. If I can figure out where you are I will kamikaze a protosuit stacked with KinCats if I have to to kill you and your Thales. That's the go-getter attitude I like to hear! Not this, "Boo hoo, sniperz iz invincibawlz!!!!" My other dropsuit is a Python.

What are you doing wandering around the redline looking for UP loserpipes when you could be capping and holding objectives? Yet another way snipers sap this game of its fun and function. Yet another facet of a sniper's tactical value, written off as making the game unenjoyable. So, you're saying snipers can act as effective decoys, diverting the opposition's attention, potentially drawing them away from objectives, and either way improving their team's strategic position? Sounds like a terribly boring, useless thing for a sniper to do. What sniper could have fun or function doing so?
