There's literally never a time where you are doing less for your team than when you decide to snipe.
The high uplink guys are even above snipers in my book. Nothing would be better for Dust than completely removing the sniper rifle (aside from a PS4 port).
If snipers ruin my match, I'll spend the remainder of that match putting equipment in front of them to screw up their view and standing in front of them. It's also funny scraping them off of towers with a dropship.

Leave the snipers be and go fight, messing them up will do nothing except make them more helpful than you.
By the time I'm doing this the match is long lost. They are usually sitting at 1 or 2 kills and a couple deaths with less than 200 WP.
Honestly I'd rather TK these people. Aren't snipers basically AFK anyway?

It's also funny scraping them off of towers with a dropship. Funny you would post, I dropped you a couple of times in one match unless there is more than on person with the "thor##" name. You had to come hunt me down and empty the magazine on me, talk about a butthurt revenge kill. In the last 11 matches, Dom and Skirm, I have 105K, 21A and 8D so I have not helped out one bit as a sniper. I snipe from spots that are between the redline boundaries or to the sides of the map. I have sat at the point with light suit,sniper/pistol defending and dropping spawn and ammo on maps that I am no help from 400m. The people that do nothing for the team stand in front of snipers, knock them off buildings or stand in front of them. They do nothing to win, just cause people to quit playing. You know they guy in high school that kept getting their a55 kicked by the middle school girls for their lunch money and do crap like you do to feel like they have a set of usable balls.
You've done nothing for your team, ever as a sniper. Even if you dropped me 10 times in a match.
If it ever seemed like you thought you did something for your team it was because the enemy team was horribly bad.

I mean seriously. Their aim is horrendous even at point-blank range.
People who use snipers tend too be far more accurate when they switch out to other infantry modes, that the "trolls" suddenly are just backyard junk. I mean seriously, the "trollers" aim is so awful, they'd need to practice with a sniper rifle to fix it, but of course they won't do that, because they're just idiots to begin with. So eh. I guess that's why they troll in the first place. They know they are useless, and they have nothing else to do.
It's kind of sad, when the only kill they can get in a game, is on an ally that isn't moving.
My hatred for snipers comes from realizing that it's useless to snipe in Dust. There's no situation where the sniper couldn't be doing the same job from a better position with a different weapon (tower FG for example).
Despite it being a useless role in Dust there are droves of players running for the hills to snipe match after match.
You guys can all gun for me, I don't care. I'll just hang out behind cover at one of the many objectives that are being left alone.

If you're on an objective the mobile snipers can more than easily take you out. The only ones who couldn't are in the redline still.

By the time you are doing this, you are assuming the game is long lost. I have hate matches won due to snipers keeping reds off the objective. (I am a Scout, and a Assault. I have a sniper fit, although I rarely ever use it.) No, as they are active, just like you. TKing is by far one of the lowest things someone can do, and you feel justified for doing it to people you deem worthless? Get your ass back out there and attempt to win, instead of being less useful than the snipers you attack. Newb snipers may being unable to successfully push and thus move to Sniping to enjoy the game. Not only are you ruining the game for yourself, but for others too. Simply do what I do, drop them a hive or two and leave. It lights them up for other snipers that you can kill (due to them being red) and gives you WP.
Why not just accept that it's a useless role?
This new player you speak of would be better off as a gunner in a tank.

- Standing in front of you - Shooting in front of you with a high-flash weapon (ASCR) - Pushing you around with an LAV - Blowing said LAV up because he realizes it can hurt you despite there not being friendly fire - Calling in an LAV on top of you - Constantly throwing grenades next to you to cause camera shake - Realizing they can waste all your nanohives by constantly throwing grenades
For real, the precedent you guys have set for Snipers - even snipers that are actually trying to turn things around by supporting their team as they move up in an already red-lined match - is just disgusting. This community has put such a negative light on redline snipers that even when you're 5-capped, out-numbered, and out-classed you will STILL be the lowest of the low instead of a valuable asset to the team.
Literally all you have to do is tell a half-decent sniper where you're wanting to breach and they can force just about anyone guarding the area into cover, which means -you- can move up and stomp them. But, feel free to waste time by doing any of the listed things because clearly said sniper isn't doing anything useful.
I was trolling mostly before.
There are people that can break out the sniper rifle in various situations to do some good, but can we agree that beginning to end of match dedicated sniping the vast majority of the time a drain on the team?
