using a dropship and losing both the suit and drop ship for a chance to kill him does not seem right at all. same thing with running into the redline to lose your suit at a chance to shank him. The risk vrs reward will always favor the redline sniper.

i can put sensor upgrades on my suit so they can't get behind me. that is how it is fair. I got my logi upto 22 DB. very few things can sneak up behind my squad even when there cloaked.

Gallente Scout much? lol

OK but even still a scout is exposing him self when he decloaks to kill a guy. He is squishy. You can see the shimmer as he runs away and the rest of the squad can spray him down. can't do that with a red line sniper can you.

IDK someone brought up how scouts are not fair. Im pointing out that a scout can be countered easier then a sniper.

But would you not agree it takes skill as a scout to stay alive and do all those things? A sniper can stay alive by hiding behind a artificial line.

Am I the only one that still remembers when Thale's rifles had such an insane zoom and range that the only realistic counter to them was another thales (standing in the middle of the battle no less) or an orbital?

Guys could snipe from so deep in their redline you would die to the timer trying to get to them in anything less than an afterburner dropship and even then you'd have to know EXACTLY where they were, and that meant making several passes through their redline letting them know you were looking for them or intimate knowledge of the most popular sniping spots.

They were so far away, they simply would not render when you were in the actual battlefield, making it borderline impossible to countersnipe them even if you knew where they were.

That was bullshit. A good thales sniper could pretty much sit still and farm kills without fear for 90% of battles. By the time someone spent an entire match trying to kill him, he got more thales from EOM salvage.

Compared to that, complaining about being able to kill nearly any redline sniper with a regular, market purchasable tactical or charge sniper rifle, sica, or a militia forge gun is just lol

In your defense, there are still some maps with some pretty bullshit sniper spots, like Manus Peak domination with the facility where the point is on a raised walkway with no cover from redline snipers

So what your saying is everyone should just become good snipers? IMO that is not a viable option. Not all Blue berries are useless even when there not counter sniping. They may not have the skills to do so and they may be dropping up-links and ammo for you.
