What do you bring to the table? Other than one less person fighting, at least AFK players are honest about what their doing What do i bring? How about the ability to one man protect an objective leaving the rest of the team to take and defend everything else (a good sniper can hold and protect an objective). Or how about those nasty forge gunners on roof tops sniping at you and keeping you from getting your dropship up there to kill them who do you think gets rid of them? It sure as hell isnt you. Or what about that one nasty dropuplink the enemy is spawning on that NO ONE on your team seems to notice is there? Who do you think gets rid of that? The sniper of course. Like i said before they are more use in a match than you will ever be. Learn the facts before hating on a class that is clearly better than whatever it is you run I snipe in the redline because i know it pisses you off

Don't take objectives or installations, don't heal, res, supply ammo or spawn points (outside the redline), lowest wp. They do get good K/D's ( but usually from scavaging kills of there teammates that get within 300m of the objective ). So says the one who gets sniped on a daily basis. And thats only for the snipers who just snipe for the kills. I snipe for the enjoyment of it and i make sure i benefit my team. This hatred of snipers is getting to a point of harrassment and im frankly tired of it. If you hate snipers in this game this much then just go back to COD where you belong and run and gun cause thats all the lot of you are good for anyways.

These are of course, Snipers that do leave the red line we are talking about rather than the guy who redline camps with a Thale. Though that of course adds in counter sniping those guys when they are actually getting kills and driving them to quit the match after a couple of kills. Actually i can do all this from the redline i just have to pick the perfect spot (which are rare and few) you dont have to be in range of the objective you just have to be within a line of sight of it and have a clear view. Although there are some maps that sniping just isnt worth the trouble thats when i pull out a forge and snipe vehicles with that :P I snipe in the redline because i know it pisses you off

Completely delusional. 1 Sniper versus a FG sitting on a proper hive setup is doing nothing more than wasting ammo. The whole match. I lost count of the sheer number of scrubs who kept shooting me and watching my armor rep back to full. You are most likely one of those. Actually im the one that uses a tactical and head shots you 3 times in a row killing you in one flued motion. The more people hate on sniping the more sniping i will do and the more redline sniping i will do. So go on keep hating so i can make you rage later on like you always do :) I snipe in the redline because i know it pisses you off

Getting WP isnt the only thing that benefits a team and helps them win. You would realize this if you sniped even once in the game. But since you have no understanding of sniping what so ever you should probably stop being so butthurt about getting sniped. Btw if you didnt stand still so often i wouldnt kill you so often. I snipe in the redline because i know it pisses you off

Never seen you though so I can't really comment on that. Snipers have their place sure, but more often than not the 'sniper' on whatever team is a burden. And when there's like 4-x snipers on the team the result is clear. Honestly its tiring the amount of people that blame snipers for THEIR failures. "Oh someone was sniping on our team thats why we lost." Seriously its like someone pulling out an lav to combat 3 tanks and then asking why they got killed. Most times yes there are way too many snipers on the map than need be. You really only need two for Skirm. One if its a dom match and maybe two for ambush hitting the enemy from both sides. Too many snipers will hinder a team sure but if there is just one sniper on your team sniping away blaming them because YOU lost the match is just plain ignorant. Get better at the game and stop blaming everyone else for your failures thats all there is too it. I snipe in the redline because i know it pisses you off

Lately yes because of the bonuses it is the suit most beneficial for sniping. But before that i ran Caldari assault and did just as well regardless of the annoying flies buzzing around my head.
