You also gotta think for a moment.. Your Scout? Hows it fair to MY play style if you can cloak and come up behind my proto Am-Sentinel and kill him with two shots? Nothing is fair in this game. Everything has it's weakness. Drop a darn Orbital on the sniper or pull out the free sniping suit everyone gets and blow him away. Personally I'd love the Orbital myself because it makes me think, "Damn! I'm such a nuisance they dropped a orbital on little ole sniper me!" And it's happened before and will continue to happen. Just like the redline tankers will happen and the redline Rail Rifle's will happen. It's an aspect of the game and forces you to get better.  |

Which leaves me to sit far away from you and your team and blow your heads off from 400m's away. You can always get in a Sniper suit yourself and counter snipe. It's what I do when my team starts getting pegged by them. |

I got my logi upto 22 DB. very few things can sneak up behind my squad even when there cloaked. 22 DB? Lol I can get under that...
Gallente Scout much? lol |

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
I'm not afraid to say I was one of those assholes... lol But thats just the way it is. A Sniper's tactic is "Be where the enemy can't get me. If they can get me I'm not doing my job correctly." |

A Sniper's tactic is "Be where the enemy can't get me. If they can get me I'm not doing my job correctly." Well the spot should not be static the battlefield should be dynamic. Redline makes sniping jobs static. That maybe somewhat fun for snipers but does not make it fun for the rest of us.
Me sitting still is actually good for you. Do you really want me moving from sniping spot to sniping spot so you can never find me at all? Once a sniper hits you if he doesn't move you know where he is and is range of sight. It's easy to move out of it or have several people target him. If he moves after each kill your screwed cause then he can hit you from almost anywhere.
EDIT: Not to mention a Sniper is meant to stay still long periods of time. One Shot, One Kill. If I have to sit there for half the match to get the right kills to help my team it's my job to do so. Just like if someone else is doing it to us I have the job to blow him away. |

And I was one of the assholes that got real good at flying a militia dropship and BPO heavy with HMG and flaylock/flux nades to mow you guys down and make sure the clone gets terminated Nothing made me cackle more than killing off a Logi mk.0 with its stacked plates, complex damage mods, nice expensive assortment of triage hives/allotek hives, a cloak to try and hide from me, and the Thales rifle of course, terminating it with the flaylock, then seeing "(Thalesuser) has left the battle"
lmfao I use that tactic myself. Except I've gotten good at using the Dropship as a heat seeking missile. XD A HMG user was escaping into the redline from my squad leader and here I come in my basic dropship. I jump out it hits him and goes boom and I walk out of the redline like a boss. lol |
