Viktor Skirov Murderers Of Hearts 53	Posted - 2014.10.06 00:04:00 - [7] - Quote Do you understand, that he didn't do that damage in a single shot, right? According to what I've read in several posts, the damage is accumulative sometimes. That >1.500 damage is because of the two shots, and unless is a (as said previously) triple damage moded commando Ck. 0 with proficiency proficiency (which it obviously weren't, as shown on the video) that amount of damage comes from the two shoots he made.
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2512	Posted - 2014.10.06 00:09:00 - [8] - Quote Damage is the total damage inflicted upon death before a "recover" IE when an opponent would no longer get an assist on you, usually when your shields start regenerating again. It could be him shooting you twice, or two snipers tapping you at the same time. I've done more though with my Protobreach HSing an opponent "You see those red dots over there?

Count them. Your over-reliance on suit recovery kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. If you had put ANY thought into your path, you would have gone around to the left side of the rock, then tried to get onto the bridge. Instead you took the "golden shot" path and gave them a free kill.

I seen at least one every 3 matches used for dedicated hunting, usually stragglers but snipers get caught by the guy often his logibro is also setting up the link net. The guys normally doing this has an overwatch calling out positions too and actively using the scanners and map to pinpoint targets. As much as I would like to see big maps I have seen the effect of big maps and low players (cough planetside 2*) leads to either a bunch trying to thread a dropped needle in a darkened haystack scenario. Also the reality that we only have two becomes more apparent and that the zones between them are not so masterfully hand sculpted or crafted. This would make for poor gameplay.

Here is the problem with your statement, maps will never change in this game. We are stuck with the maps and how they function, we are not stuck with the weapon stats. Sure the snipers as they are now would be great on different maps, heck they are mostly fine on a few maps now, but unfortunately no one is going to change the maps ever again, this means you have to work within those parameters. You should know this IWS, and to blame the maps for design failings in weapons you helped rebalance is lazy. Fixing swarms

When he is in deep redline, you need to be in the middle of the firefight, where the sniper is aiming, in order to get to him... or you can suicide using a dropship (basically unintended mechanic the players came up with... not balance.)

You should know this IWS, and to blame the maps for design failings in weapons you helped rebalance is lazy. Well nerfing the rifles to the required 150 meters is unacceptable to work around the poorer map designs and that my friend is being lazy. Inversely I never took the 1.2km suggestions seriously either. Reverse engineering map stories is quite involving requires lots of dying too because of the required researching. The initial range I put forward was not some random number I pulled out of my posterior. I contrary to appia's sayings I had barely any emotion with the suggested numbers. It involved measuring, scoring map areas, and timetables. If you want to do that work go right on ahead I won't stop you. The stories at 600 meters were immensely low scoring, had highly unfavorable timetables, and the sheer coverage on many maps was excessive even on the newer ones.

So yea its about right, but i got headshotted after spawning by a calmando with a thale doing 1760 now that was no glitch thats just his skills.

And keep spawning in your forge suit bro, when you get one shotted by a charge for the 30th time, that is doing more damage than a forge gun to the chest, I'll be laughing. Charge and thales are doing instant death to any sentinel no matter the hp, personally i like the ability to kill any heavily tanked thales sniper without worrying about him retreating into cover, but the old maps(though they are better than the new) are too sniper friendly.

Only if you dont understand how more ohk weapons make the game suck. We asked for longer ttk, now we got instant death, knives, plasma cannon, forge, rail turret, bolt pistol, shotguns, and of course snipers. Do you see what I am saying here? More and more deaths are high alpha insta kills, leaving the player feeling cheated, with NO oppurtunity to respond. Makes you think, does my hp even matter? More people are using fewer rifles. This is an alt. It is here to be banned, so that I may be outrageous and speak the TRUTH.

If they're 300m away you can easily kill them with a Forge Gun, and if they're 400m away you can easily drive 100m into the redline, kill them with an Assault FG and still have enough time to make it out (assuming they're in the redline).

If my triple modded calmando with a bpo standard sniper can't do that I'm pretty sure the freebie sh*tfit can't either. Unless you're talking about scouts, In which case they should die if someone happens to have eaten too much mexican food and farts too hard as the scout is sneaking up.

Laser rifle actually works better for it. Once you've gotten inside 100m snipers are usually helpless against laser rifles.

Sounds like you aren't hitting the head. Won't drop a proto heavy in one hit, but other targets don't seem to have issues dying instantly.

Why don't you go try that in a pub... Attim is right below the 300 meter range a heavy forge sniper can generally nail most most other snipers due to the simple fact he can strafe and the sniper cannot. below the 150 meter range laser rifles and rail rifles start to become an issue in most redline scenarios this means no cover for either soldier (unless hunter was using an LAV this puts the sniper as serious disadvantage) and under 100 meters you're just plain screwed as most weapons will out perform your ability to line up the shots unless you're using a tactical sniper rifle even then the chances of you winning are highly dependent on how good the guy gunning you is with his strafe game verses your ability to aim. Under the 300 meter range though those who are typically scout sniper minded have the advantage as they're the ones generally orchestrating their engagements and hunters have much more difficult time operating so close to the arena of combat. Nor to most solo hunters know not to look inside the arena to begin with. It generally at least takes two people to call this type of sniper out and get him killed of the sniper played his cards rights. Most instances of snipers getting popped under 300 are more to happenstance of other types of perimeter sweepers (scouts typically setting up hacks and spawn nets or flankers) Though this doesn't excuse the idiots that are deep within the urban areas in the most obvious places which are what I am beginning to call headshot vending machines. Typically any high narrow perch that has little to no cover, not even the ledge itself. Get about 5-7 headshots before the team realizes the error of their ways and jump down with wreckless abandon. The cross beams, pipes, the top of the air traffic control tower are among the worst places to hang out now. True the spot may be safe from the equipment from being sniped but snipers are now less interested in sniping equipment and far more interested in killing as many people as possible turning a once highly strategic important spot into a military disaster.

I shouldn't be forced to enter a redline in order to get close enough to kill them. It gives them relative safety from almost every other weapon.

But if you're overall incompetent and move in a predictable pattern while not sticking near cover, then yes you should be insta-killed. Firstly, no. It is not easy. You still have to close that distance and get within a reasonable effective range for your weapon to do damage... which means you are not near an objective, which means you are failing as a team member. Secondly, the point of having a low cost/free suit is that it doesn't matter if you die. The amount of dying you have to do to actually go negative in isk, even with damage mods being the only thing of value you put on your suit, is outlandish and unrealistic for even a bad sniper. Snipers are already worthless, selfish individuals who contribute almost nothing to a team compared to their front line brothers. They don't care if the scoreboard says they are good or bad -- they are already outcasts nobody will ever respect. In that sense, yes. They are untouchable. You cannot hurt their wallet, you cannot hurt their ego, and you'll go severely out of your way to make them temporarily disappear off the battlefield for all of 12 seconds.
