Ha, you thought this was a QQ thread. No.


"I'm here to inform you"

"Try it, and carry a sidearm if leaving the redline scares you."


"I'm ready for the hate".

No good sir, you are trying to incite it.

"i'm here to inform you"
Arrogant and presumptuous-
I have been sniping on this game for over a year, since 1.1 in fact.
i always support my team and average out with around 20 kills per round but peak much higher,
up until the nerfs that came along in 1.8 i could regularly be found in p.c battles.
I have taken sniper rifles up against other corps in their best gear and seen exactly how ineffective they are now.
Have used my commando in maps with my sniper as a secondary weapon and know how well it performs both compared to other rifles at mid-long range and compared to it's long range performance.
I have shot down ads, blown up lavs and back when av grenades were good, blown up havs all using my sniper rifle.

Symbioticforks has been doing it for longer then i have, won the officer gear competition with 3375 kills in a single weekend with a charge rifle, releases regular videos on his sniping techniques and would have also done all of the above.

Nitrobeacon came in second with over 3000 kills, jacesilencer, leanna boghin,attim et al have all been sniping for some time.
ok so the new scope is better than the old one for using the sniper rifles as a marksman rifle you clearly think that is news.
so are the rail rifle the laser rifle and the scrambler rifle.

exactly what makes you think we need you to "inform" us?

"Try it, and carry a sidearm if leaving the redline scares you."
Again an uneducated, biased, resentful statement. you don't know me, obviously haven't watched symbiotics videos and clearly don't have that much interaction with good snipers if you are spouting bs like "all snipers are cowards"
this belief that All snipers are only ever in the red line is pathetic. as is the opinion that it takes some form of bravery to to run into close quarters combat IN A GAME!! it's not like you lose anything or that you are in physical danger is it?

you think that we are afraid to leave the red line lol,
ok then i fully expect that you then must be one of the rare folks that play on dust using a ds3 and have aim assist off?
(yeah sure you do.)

Relax Snake, my wording was meant to be humorous. Mock arrogance is something I do a lot. Inciting? Not really, but I was ready for angry responses. Which I got.

But if we're talking about presumptuous, that would be you. Generalizing snipers was not my intention. My post was directed towards the snipers that sit in the redline to kill with safety rather than actually help. So, not you. I've seen you wreck with that Charge. Either way, yes, I am here to inform. There are many who are lesser snipers.

Just saying, you don't have to go in every sniper thread and rant. It's not always directed at you.

Finally, question: I don't know the community's opinion on it, but yes, I use a DS3 without aim assist. Is that a bad thing? If so, I don't see a problem with it.
