A couple weeks ago I dumped a ton of SP into sniper rifles. I can't say what exactly made me do it, prolly coz I got headshot by a Thales one time too many and I wanted to give those feckers a taste of their own medicine. Everything would've prolly been fine, but the first time I went out with a Thales, I went 20/0. Things went downhill right away. I started sniping more and more. Now, I snipe more than I play any other role. I used to win matches for the team. I used to be the guy that kept our uplinks hot, kept the point clean, kept the crus blue. Now I just sit in the redline/ on a tower/ on the MCC, lining up head shots and laughing like a maniac every time I put a slug into some poor sod's cranium.
This role is so dirty, so completely useless to the team, and so so so much fun. I feel so bad.

If you can't tell by the name I started off as a pure sniper and while I do logi now I still pick up a sniper if the squad needs it. While you won't be any help with the drop uplinks try to call out the battlefield for your squad mates. I used to do that a lot as being a sniper you have the best advantage points. By calling it out your mates can quickly react to a new situation and diffuse a possible problem before he poses a threat. My favorite kills with a sniper? One that saves a teammate from a death. But this is of course just me. |

Snipers aren't useless, it just that there are many (bleep) out there that don't know the true role of a sniper.
You have to squad up. A snipers role is to provide intel( watch for any Otbitals, infantry, rdv) that will help squad survive to do mission, scare off/ kill enemies that want to take over objective/attack your squad, anti snipe, and pop cloaked scouts.
Most snipers in the game only want to kill, kill, kill, and run solo.
In the case of officer weapons, you are forced to to that above, but with std-pro snipers, you must do as said above x2

Welcome to the Dark Side
It's Very,Very,VERY addicting. You'll come back eventually buddy.
I spend the first 4 months of my dust carrier doing just that. Bought a respec just to make myself stop and spec'd out of snipers.

Yeah, snipers aren't completely useless, but they are definitely the least useful role. It's nice to have someone spotting for you, but I'd rather have someone on overwatch near the point doing that. There are some selective applications where a quick stint with a SR can knock out all of the opponents links, or keep reds off the hack, and that's good, but it doesn't add up to a win half as quick as boots on the ground at the letter.
I mostly snipe when my squads aren't on, coz when they are, I need to be in the **** to do my job. So a lot of dirty solo sniping. If you need statistical evidence of the usefulness of sniping, just look to the WP. 20 kills with a SR nets you 1000-1200 wp, If I get 20 kills in my assault fit, I'm bringing home 2000 - 3000 WP. All of the equipments, hacks, OD and Squad bonuses add up quick when you are playing for the team.
Maybe a really great sniper can accomplish that sort of stuff, but I cant. I can p1ss a whole bunch of people off though, and for some reason, that amuses me.

If you're really having that much fun with it, then no need to stop. I like to rush and take objectives, hack installations, set uplinks, scan enemies, generally be useful to my team, and that usually gets me in the top 3, but I wouldn't be doing any of that if it wasn't fun for me. At the end of the day, this is all just a game, and games are about fun, so do what you want as long as it isn't some exploit.

Amen! Way too many people act like their mortgage is riding on this game. The day this game becomes a stress center and not a recreation center, I will drop it like third period french.
