Here is the thing. If you know me I normally don't complain about much other than people's request for change in the game. Or people who think things are not "balanced" when I believe they are more than balanced.
That being said, this pathetic sniping tactic needs to stop. I'm not kidding. This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to get in an incubus every time I need to go get one of these losers. How bad at the game do you have to be to HAVE TO snipe from top of the MCC in order to be successful at the game? I am really curious. I've died a total of twice from someone doing this since the time I knew it could be done. Other than that it is the most annoying thing. Not to mention that I have NEVER seen someone give up on it. They ALWAYS go back. But if you don't get rid of them they end up doing well so you HAVE TO jack them up so they know they are scrubs.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Anyone snipe from the MCC and thinks that they are good players because they know how to do this? This is absurd.
My personal fix is that the red becomes a 3 min time limit zone. The time limit resets everytime you die. Once you reach the time limit you only get an effective 15 seconds as normal right now. When you spawn in the ground spawn or the MCC you should be spawning in your own red and the time limit begins immidiately. You should be able to call vehicles in from the red as well.
Thoughts?

Thoughts? TL;DR redlining isn't fun if we can't stomp the ever living crap out of our enemies,force them to run into our bullets.
MCCs should never be close enough to be a viable sniping spot,especially on smaller maps.
Players on top of the MCC should die instantly.

I only have a adv tactical. This one in particular was a scout but sometimes they are super brick tanked sentinals and it just isn't happening.
Thought about going into proto Min Assault to get that 4th shot out of the tactical. Most heavies take 2 or 3 out of my tactical like it is nothing. Wonder about the surprise 4th...hmm.

haha That Doesn't Matter i Use the C-15 alot and i kill Proto Heavys up there with 3-5 shots. they run even slower than others on mcc's before shooting at them make sure your first meets their T-Zone (head), and you'll kill them.

from my point of view...
it's a battle during a time of war...MCC Sniping, Jihad Jeeps, Heavy+LAV+Scanner, Cloak Shotgunners, 3xRep Maddies, 5x Complex Damage Mods on a Med mk.0 suit...
all valid tactics during battle...it only bothers you if you let it, forget about it-die-respawn-rinse & repeat....
Good Teamwork will beat them all...

I agree. Like the people that get on top of towers. Easy free kills. Practice with the charge and three complex damage mods. A first shot bean shot and the second shot usually kills most inept heavies and all suits under 400 EHP with one shot.

Lmao! GUILTY AS CHARGED! BUT, I snipe from the ENEMY MCC roof and shoot you clowns in the back. I laugh me azz off when I see 3 ships flying bellow looking for me thale....... Muahahahahahah You can't have me precious! The MCC shields also protect me from shrapnel...
At ONE POINT, they had it fixed... no nanos would stick. NOW, you can stack 10 and live FOREVA! We still have to dodge missles from MCC. Only been killed ONCE since beta by missle. Three times by orbitals(just for me/what a waste). |

You can counter them by flying an Assault DS up there, and gunning them down; therefore it has a counter that is not part of itself (such as counter sniping). - That's called balance.
This idea is bad, and you should feel bad for making it. All it would do is force those who are being redlined to either quit the match, or throw themselves into a meat grinder.

come to think of it..
on 2 maps I have a Sniper spot that is as high as the MCC but nowhere near it..it's not a tower and it gives me clear views of 50% of the map and about 75% with a Thale's..
I've only ever seen 1 other person up there (and I killed him for it)
am I a scrub or a genius ?
what ?!?!....Genius Scrub..?...ok, that's fine.....

Im actually super surprised its taken this long to be a 'whine-able' problem again.
Beta it was a huge issue, although when you could snipe down on them from on top of old manus peak it was awesome.
then it got fixed in like 1.2.... and broken in like 1.4
good job on the slow up-take snipers.
Next youll notice that you can still use rendering to your advantage fairly well.

Was in a dom once where 5-6 people were on the MCC 'sniping'. Thing is, based on the kill count, I don't think they were hitting much.

You get a gold star!
MCC is just a really tall structure in the red line. There are lots of those.
If you want a revenge kill on a sniper protecting their red line, you have to earn it.
If you want to avoid being killed by him and passively just make it so he can't touch you. There are many tactics you could implement as to be ignored by snipers. You just refuse to use them and seek the revenge kill.

Eko, I have a little trouble understanding how you can argue that we shouldn't worry about being able to kill tanks unless they stop us from taking an objective but then complain about MCC snipers. They have almost no impact on the game.
I don't think your ideas about the redline ate sensible either, allowing people 2 minutes in the enemy redline negates the purpose of it. If they can change it they should simply make it so that no one can sit in their own redline, you die just like in the enemy redline only they should extend the timer to 1 or 2 minutes.
Because, that's why.

I don't think any tactic is invalid as long as it isn't exploiting a broken mechanic. This is why I often argue about balance issues. Things that are "cheap", usually are just smart.
I am a little hypocritical here because I won't spawn camp, even while I argue that it is a legit tactic. I also encourage players to run weak loadouts when it is clear your team outmatches the other team. So one one hand I argue that players have some responsibility to the overall players experience and on the other I argue that people should play with what they think works, not someone else's expectations.
Oh well, life is full of contradictions.

It isn't fun when they don't even try. Out of the 10-15 domination matches I played yesterday, we got one good fight.
No it wasn't because they were good. It was because the enemy team never stopped pushing.
Give it up to a non American corporation to not give up, because it's not easy.

sniping dont make your team win, it generates kills for the sniper. A single sniper cannot be as helpful winning a match than a full squad taking objectives !
Thats why the game is balanced. If you care that a ******** is sniping on top of the MCC, rage all you want, I play lots of Dust, and it has been a minor anoyance. LEARN TO MOVE, always, dont stop to shoot, you'll be an easy target, once I learned this fact, I got snipped once a week at maximum, and it was almost an accident while I was busy stopping to shoot, forgetting the moving rule. The more you move, and the further away on the MCC the sniper is, the less hes efficient !

Pathetic? That is your attitude about forcing others to play the way you want them to. Dust, originally, was about being able to play exactly the way you want. Many other games limit your roles to their exact vision. The mage is mage only and cannot pick up a sword. The medic is a medic and cannot repair anything. The assault can only use the assault rifle and nothing else.
If you were to ask politely I would tell you exactly how I want you to fly your incubus so I could be guaranteed to blow that sucker out of the air before you crossed your own red line. You might not like it, nor want to play the game that way but I would be much happier and that is all I care about. Nothing else matters. To me.
See I can learn from your example. Thanks.

I play a lot of DOM. ALOT OF DOM. And you are so wrong. If you haven't experienced a 20 kill sniper from the top of the MCC then you haven't experienced it enough. I play a lot and it happens. And my redline suggestion is the exact same as your dumb ass. What the hell is wrong with you?
