Izlare Lenix BATTLE SURVEY GROUP Dark Taboo 728	Posted - 2014.06.27 14:06:00 - [1] - Quote I have only played three matches today and have already been killed by snipers almost 10 times. And I would have died many more times by snipers if I wasn't close to cover. So now for the majority of this event I am stocking up on ADS and will be hunting sniper exclusively. You redline bitches have killed me from your safezone for the last time. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

If they didn't OHKO you then snipers are clearly underpowered and you should QQ more. If they did, regardless of how much your suit cost and regardless of how zero risk those snipers were, then that's perfect balance! Snipers should be OHKO I mean, it's a sniper!

Izlare Lenix BATTLE SURVEY GROUP Dark Taboo 729	Posted - 2014.06.27 14:23:00 - [6] - Quote A few OHK in my scout. And two shoots in my commando. But the second shot is hitting almost before you can react to the first shoot. The main issue I have with snipers is they are able to kill in safety. It is a BS mechanic and CCP needs to address this issue at some point. The only counter to these dbags is tons of SP sunk into sniper rifles or the willingness to suicide just to kill them. It is so fuking stupid and its been going on since beta. My faith in CCP fixing this broke ass game or making Legion better continues to sink. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Yes, that was my first match this morning. That thales killed my commando twice because I was defending the letter and in the open. After the second death I had to call in an incubis, fly up to the red mcc and kill that mofo. I almost died to redline timer because I was enjoying watching his corpse rag doll off the mcc. I'm pretty sure he was back on the mcc within a few minutes, but by then I switched to scout and didn't get snipped again. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.

You redline bitches have killed me from your safezone for the last time. Ifyou die that often to them, the fault may be with you. They really aren't that prevalent in the game these days. Go hunt them, as you say you will. It's what I do - I love the mad dashes into the redline. Of course not all snipers (like me when I chose to do it) hide in the redline. We move around in the engagement areas. Also, it's just a game. Why bother getting angry?

If you are getting OHK, then you are standing still and letting them get a nice solid headshot kill on you. or they have skills to hit a moving target. So you should be angry at yourself, or you should be admiring their skill and go up against them shot for shot and/or find and shoot them in the face close up. Either way, behave a bit more maturely and the world will be a better place.

Atiim NoGameNoLife 9908	Posted - 2014.06.27 18:45:00 - [28] - Quote @Lorhak Gannarsein A sniper taking potshots at an objective is in no way a problem (unless of course, they can view the hacking terminal). However, you also forgot to mention the 3rd option, which is hunting and killing the Sniper. If you do not take the initiative to do so, then the Sniper deserves to relentlessly kill an entire team in the same sense that an HAV can (will, and should) relentlessly murder an entire team if they refuse to use AV weapons. @Cat Merc That's not entirely true, as at any point in time a Sniper can be killed by those weapons as well (unless they're in the redline, which is an issue of Redline Mechanics, not the Sniper Rifle). @Arkena Wyrnspire If "not traveling in an open area" is a problem, then why not hunt down and kill the Sniper? As for having LOS on an Objective Terminal from the redline, that's a problem with Redline Mechanics, not the Sniper Rifle itself. Am I posting in a stealth "nerf Snipers for killing me within their niche" thread? If so, then please excuse me, as I need to replace the ass I just laughed off.

What does being a heavy have to do with anything? The SR is not at all made for close engagements. If a sniper leaves the redline, someone will hunt him down, usually from behind, and the only defense he has is a sidearm. He could get killed while sniping, he could get killed while positioning, he could get killed while moving to another spot. But if hes in his redline, he doesn't have to worry about some errant noob looking for an easy kill. All he has to worry about is counter snipers and vantage. Its not a difficult concept to understand at all.

I once got killed by a Thale's sniper from 596m. I was in a cheap suit (i.e. free) so it was an OHKO. I was in the centre of the map. Please tell me how I'm supposed to fight him? I can't find him on a vehicle scanner because he's dampened, I can't move fast enough with a wide enough scan radius to find him on foot, I haven't invested enough SP in SRs to beat a redline Thale's Sniper who's probably in a bricked GalScout or something. I can't even rail him thanks to the range nerf, even if I could find him. Makes killing the fatsuit ones a chore too.

So 1hking a 200k suit with 0 chance to react isn't op, riiiight. ohmygodyou'redense Oh come on now, give him a break. We all know Jeremy can't understand complex concepts; like sarcasm or tying shoes. Oh please, we all know you can't undertsand complex concepts but I can. Snipers have the lowest risk and should get the lowest reward Unless you want to make snipers get somewhat into combat... You can. K/D(r) WP/D(r) matchmaking fixes the whole game. Period.

I can't even rail him thanks to the range nerf, even if I could find him. Makes killing the fatsuit ones a chore too. This is a disturbingly similar argument to the one you railed against for so long from tankers. Actually, it's most likely a damage modded up calmando or brick cal sentinel what i think of when charging fg

This is a disturbingly similar argument to the one you railed against for so long from tankers. Proving that there is only one sniper weapon per game and so all other players are defenseless against the one guy that grabbed the sniper rifle. Seriously though. The way to locate and kill a sniper is to get a sniper rifle and a starter fit. Start from your redline and move around the outside of the map. Scope in as you are moving from time to time to identify the general location if possible. Moving back and forth helps. When in a position you think you can scope him but be far enough so as not to get hit easily (i.e. Max distance from him) take cover opposite the direction you suspect he is at. From cover move out little by little, exposing yourself to the direction you think the sniper is shooting from. If you get shot you found the direction. It is in line with the angle he shot you just as you exposed yourself. Next move to another location and try to quickly scope him. If he's good he will probably already be scoping you. If not you can get him. If you don't like losing a clone or taking another hit to your k/dr or you can't scope him before he scopes you then you should stop worrying so much about snipers and stay in cover next time. Run a scout suit with a cloak and drop a link in a place that you can easily spawn back to under cover. Also, yeah Atiim! The h*ll with defending sniping with the same arguments you use against tanks man? THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

And I would have died many more times by snipers if I wasn't close to cover. So now for the majority of this event I am stocking up on ADS and suicide gorgon/hmg fits and will be hunting sniper exclusively. You redline bitches have killed me from your safezone for the last time. Do you know how long I've been doing that? I forsake the win to kill those snipers. I couldn't care any less how many suits or dropships it costs me to get them either. Sometimes, I hunt them for the rest of the game, killing them multiple times. Used to do the same for tanks..but since the distance on the rail got nerfed, that isn't a problem anymore. Removed all hope with this post

Because not every vantage point is in the redline, and because most times sniping from the redline only works when your enemy team stays in one area. Not to mention that supporting your team by doing other actions, such as placing Drop Uplinks and hacking unguarded objectives aren't possible from the redline. Would it be safe to assume that you have not played with a dedicated Sniper, and/or have never been a Sniper who's done anything outside of the redline? Also, I'd appreciate it if you answered my question. Taking Care of The Pilot Infestation in North American Skirmish -HAND
