The first problem, is that the hills and mountains on most maps are too low, making it impossible to counter high-ground campers until the peek their heads out. An easy example would be that one socket with the two buildings and really high tower.

Another problem I saw, is that there are too many fences and rails. This blocks what would otherwise be great places to Snipe, and doesn't make sense as any other weapon can be used perfectly in those areas since they don't require that you crouch.

Then there's the fact that you have to crouch to remove the sway. I understand there being an initial sway to prevent quick-scoping, but why require that you crouch if you're going to be stationary? All it does is stop you from sniping in places where it would actually make sense to snipe.

I also feel as if there aren't enough vantage points, especially in Skirmish where there are multipule objectives and places of interest. And of those few vantage points, most are very easy to find and visiting them will get you killed with ease.

But enough with my problems, what are yours with Sniping?

Delt, my gun game is horrible. I will grab another weapon if you would like. You better hope I'm not on your team because I'm terrible! So, I'll continue to leave maps that I am of no use unless you want me to run in your squad. Leaving seems to be the polite thing to do.

1. It is boring.
2. Takes no skill, first few times I did it I went 20/0 with a couple times 30/0.
3. People who think lifetime KDR is relevant will look up to you.
4. Your cult starts to copy you, increasing the # of snipers in the game by 15%

Learn to logi?

idk sniping honestly right now seems to be in a better place than it ever has been.... however I could use a little more incentive to use proto snipers maybe higher magnification, range, or clip/ammo capacity anything other than just straight up dmg.... I do enough of that

That they exist in the first place.

Semi-joking aside, I dont see why you cant steady the scope while standing up. I would use the tactical sniper more as a midrange / longrange marksman weapon if I didn't have to crouch to steady the bloody thing.

That's my problem with snipers. They just want to set up shop somewhere safe and camp / snipe away while honestly rarely ever contributing much to the battle at hand.

I want to be mobile, moving around the battlefield with my dampened scout picking off targets as I can. Not being anchored to one spot in a heavy suit like some sort of paper weight.

So you can sit further back in the redline?

I think we all know where I stand on sniping.

I use the TSR aka Tactical Sniper Rifle it may have the lower damage but the ROF is high enough.


most common places to find a sniper is between

1 redline

2 crouching some in the ground

3 locate navohive in the mountains or in the ground

4 lastly if your getting sniper get out of there soon as possible

I think we all know where I stand on sniping.

I honestly don't see your problem with the new mechanics...... I've been doing better than ever before, I'll admit the Charge is now the worst Sniper Rifle but its still in a better than it was before, what is ruins sniping for you ?

Yes. :P Love your snipers, btw. :P Thanks. :P
