Was just in a game where I was sniping(Not in the redline, don't know the name of the maps, but it was in the outer middle of the map about 400m from the objective had a good shot of where people would hack the objective) So I was just sniping with a charged sniper and proto cal scout, 240 armor, in the highs were all damage mods, picking up stragglers and uplinks when suddenly I get shot from a heavy sniper 200 m away.
I got a bit mad, but I was like oh well it happens when you're not redline sniping. Respawn with a mlt sniper fit, go to another sniping point, get about 1 or 2 kills when the same heavy shoots a team mate who was in my view. Saddened by this I vowed revenge, looking around for the heavy, I notice a little twinkle off the corner of my eye..
What was this twinkle? It was the twinkle of about 5 nanos and 4 enemy snipers on the roof of a building in their redline, luckily for me, my sniper post was close enough and high enough that I could spot them. On the roof was 1 heavy, 1 scout, 1 logi gko and one adv logi.
Took em all out, headshots. 1 by one the only ones that took more than 2 head shots were the heavies and the adv logi. Best part they either kept all spawning back or they kept getting revived. Think I killed them aleast 2 times each.
Ofcourse luckily this was one of the good sniper maps... Most of the other maps don't have good sniper posts unless you are in the redline. Maybe thats why redline sniping is so popular? Remember Beta when there were tons of sniper posts outside the redline? My favorite was that huge mountain. Was it unbalanced? Idk, but if someone sniped you there atleast you knew it wasn't anyone in the redline(The redline was so far back and had no real advantages outside of being a safe base) and the sniper fights back then were quite exciting. |

Vehicles took advantage of most of the sniper spots making them excessively difficult to assail.

They still take advantage of those sniper spots. Namely the one with the 6 towers on the map and the one with the 3 objectives on it. They still tank snipe from those hills on those maps. We need real sniper holes not their hill sides in the redline. And certainly not sniper nests right in front of a building so you cant shooting anything. Honestly alot of the placement of buildings and installations in this game are just strewn about like CCP just juggled it up and then tossed it together willy nilly. I mean who in their right mind is gonna have a blaster turret or a missile turret behind a damn hill?
I let my sniper rifle bullet to your face do all the talking :P

Lol horrible? not likely i remember when AV grenades where a threat to vehicles unllike now where they arent even a deterent. I used to sneak up behind those tank snipers on those hills and just lob av grenades at them til they were destroyed. Ah those were the good old days.

That 6 tower map was the map where this happened... Guess we will just call it 6 tower map? What are the actual names of these maps? |

Got into Av grenades a little late( around 1.3/1.4) so back in beta when those mountains were still there I had nothing, but fear. |

I only know Manus Peak ( the one that use to have the lovely sniper mountain and now its just a crater) But yeah that 6 tower map is awesome for redline sniping those fools off the buildings and towers. And they just keep spawning and trying to counter snipe from them. I truely do enjoy watching the loads of bodies fall to the earth from those towers :P

Sadly, it's the same group of people that think having turrets face away from the battlefield is a good idea.

I'd be more than fine if they were using a damn commando. The only heavy suit that should have light weapons. They should have just locked heavies/sentinals out of it the moment commandos joined the stage. |
