I stopped reading right there.

I snipe, often. I run the Charge, and when I get pissy, I run the Thale's. I have many spots on most maps. I have my favorites, yes, but I can move and adapt to a changing situation. Plenty of times, my squadmates have indicated a hostile sniper to me and I've said "I don't have him from my current vantage point; relocating." I make sure my squad has an idea where I am so they will know where I have them covered and where the target will be obstructed from me.

I have saved my teammates. I've also watched them die because I missed.

Know what else I've done?

I've run down to hack a point or clear an uplink or hack a CRU that I saw to be causing inordinate pressure in the enemy's favor. Because I snipe in a scout suit with damps and damage mods, not a heavily tanked sentinel suit like a risk averse little sissy - even when I'm running my Thale's. So I can run down quickly, do what needs doing, and move to my next perch.

How do I survive while doing this? Adv SMG and Locus Grenades. Like a scout.

I played with some snipers who were on the Mic feeding us info, protecting us with some great fire, and taking objectives. It would be a little harder to hate on snipers in any fps if they all played this way.

SmokinRoses420 Bra's and Boxer's 1	Posted - 2014.07.17 23:58:00 - [1] - Quote Hi guys, I'm pretty sure this is where I would go to rant about something I'm frankly tired of seeing. Okay so I'm a sniper and so are most of my friends on Dust. We play battles to have fun and get some kills. Lately we've been receiving so many rude messages from Assault guys about us camping on the side lines and not helping our team by hacking letters. Do Assaults not understand what the definition of a Sniper is, and what their duties are on the battle field? Well for one Snipers do not go down and hack letters and run around doing an Assault job because we are not fully equipped to do that. We do in fact sit on the side lines and help our team. We are not there just to "camp". If you guys think that all we do is camp and sit there on the hill and laugh when our team gets shot, then you're entirely wrong. We actually help you assaults when a red is trying to attack you from your blind side and we do protect our letters. We can't watch all letters at once that's almost entirely impossible on certain Maps. For some battles that us Snipers play, we try and kill most of the red infantries so you blue Assaults can either hack the letters or recharge your suits. We do not just sit there and watch you guys get shot if we can help it. But lately our maps have been glitching and being weird so half the time we don't see them or we get shot ourselves. We help our matches just as much as the assaults. We get so much grief from assaults it's not even funny I'm tired of immature people. OR the ones who are actually on the blue team and just stand in front of us Snipers when we're trying to help our team win the battle and they won't move try shooting us an/or distract us and then after the battles over, they send us a nasty letters saying we didn't do anything to help our team. If that's not hypocritical I don't know what is. I normally don't rant about this kind of stuff, but it's really getting out of hand and people need to grow up and realize it's only a game. We are here to have fun and try to help our team win. I know Dust can't do anything about it, but still just want to put that out there. Good luck out there Mercs! o7 =) SmokinRoses420

Well maybe if you weren't such a snot people would save you. But we've saved so many assaults form the Red's that it's too many to count. So considering us useless try a few battles without us, then you'd probably be dead for most the battle. And we've saved countless letters from turning to red. =) But thanks for the input..
Will Driver Horizons' Edge Proficiency V. 180	Posted - 2014.07.23 19:40:00 - [6] - Quote No sniper love here. I'd like to see the snipers removed from the game altogether. It may be fun for some to play (boring as heck to me the few times I tried it), but really infuriating to targets who can't see or fight back against their attacker. When I join a battle and see my team has multiple snipers, changes are high we will lose that match. Just too disadvantaged with ground troops to push or hold an objective. So giving you the benefit that you aren't simply trolling (as most players seem to rejoice in the misery of others by actually wanted to get hate mail), I'd say stop sniping if it bothers you or simply ignore the mail.

You can't tell us, after over a year and a half or more that the majority of snipers that we have observed doing bugger was just an illusion.

Bayeth Mal OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 905	Posted - 2014.07.24 11:56:00 - [9] - Quote Ultimately. Its when you're in a hard match againt a stacked team and you suddenly realise your squad is alone on the map because the other 10 players have given up and are sniping from the redline to preserve their precious KDR. That's when you lose a lot of respect for sniping. When I have to counter snipe a thales by getting hard up against the redline. Getting 4 consecutive head shots to do so because he's in a heavy suit and the end of match screen shows he was at 500m. That's when you loose a lot of respect for sniping. When I've been able to move into a position and effectivly wipe their team of snipers because they always sit in the same places in the redline, many bunching up next to each other without the situational awareness to realise the two guys next to them just died. That's when you lose a lot of respect for sniping. I've never sniped from the redline, and I know many good snipers don't either. But you have to understand that its one of the most commonly used exploits in the game and has been abused since the game began. Until these exploits get fixed, any potential for buffs to the Sniper role will be dead in the water. Heading over to Destiny Beta and a few others Hit me up for Skype and PSN

You like to snipe in pubs? go ahead. doesn't bother me... actually I love feeling like I am alone and must take on a squad of 6 at an objective all alone. The greatest feeling in the world when I pull it off. I am just a crazy guy who has fun doing crazy things. You have fun by doing what you like to do? Useless blue berry? who cares. It is a public match! You are free to do whatever you want and I support you. It is not like these "elitists" are forced to play with you in pc matches. (There is literally no demand for snipers in pc but meh) Their opinions are not your problem. What is their problem is that they suck and can't carry their team like I can. :p So they need an army of meatshields to use as cover fire as they try and run and pad their poor kdr's. I never seen you play, so I can't say for sure how much you help your team but honestly I don't care. I am going to have just as much fun either way. My team is losing? awesome. A CHALLENGE! a game where I can put my crazyness and skill to the test! I love tough matches. My team is winning? awesome. Good blueberries and team mates should be commended. No matter what I am always having a good time and you will never see me complaining or telling other people how to play their game. It is just rude. Forum Avatar GJR has spoken.

There are times where me and my friends hack letters when no reads are around. But it's not easy when you don't have a scrambler pistol or assault riffle on hand. But I'm saying is...I'm just sick of Assaults messaging us saying we don't do crap for the team. When we do. And Right-wing, yes, us snipers give the people in our squad heads up and try and help as much as possible. But when your sniping having a real fun time helping the team, they come over and just hit you and distract you run in front of you then later message you saying you don't do crap for the team, then tell us we're worthless pieces of Sh*t. I don't have that fair nor necessary. I'm on Dust to have fun and that's it. But people like that just irritate me and need to grow up and realize it's a GAME!...
