ASK a way what do you want to know to help you get better at it ?

I want to stop super fast scouts from doing suicide runs with RE towards me.

LOL sniping in an MMO, you have no gun skills

why are snipers useless

only the ones that dont move untill they get removed by onuther sniper and then cry on the forums that CCP need to buff snipers more .

no sniping is not usless if you have some one who can snipe tell them were the other team walking a bout in the open or tell him to look over A B or C and wach his Kills rack up and the others teams MCC come crashing down or yours dock with out going into hull.

I've always wondered why people can openly pronounse themselves to be "Furry" but people who call themselves "Gay" or "Lesbian" cannot... I mean all three are sexual affiliations.

The only sniper that isn't useless is the one next to me on the field. As for the ones in the spawn and camping places meh they are useless

i have never met one of these mythical snipers you speak of. they probably exist only rarely.

well I guess another question would be how do you have fun? Sniping to me just sounds so boring

If it involves playing loud music over the mics even when asked to stopp, I think I'll stay bad at sniping

they can im BI my 2 last gf,s were BI and happy with it ... but most of it has to do with the old ways and the old way of thinking
so like most some ones not going to come out and say im gay or bi or lez if they could loss there job. or friends they known for yrs

you can thank this like the guy who hatting on furrys i bet he fells the same a bout gays and most likely one of them nuts who say thank god for IED,s to i bet . FURRY 4 LIFE !

Bad furry you mind not blasting music over your mic. I like your taste in music but the team can't communicate with your music so loud.

meh may be i cant just say ok and then that be a lie so ill try no to so much. i want PUSH to talk tho from CCP !!

So you are blasting music over the mics to ruin everyones day because you can't get what you want?

what you mean what do i want ???

Your earlier post made it sound like it was because you wanted push to talk to exist.


Seriously though. Blasting music over the mic and making it impossible for everyone even you to use it is rude and accomplishes nothing good. If you have no intention of using the mic, why do you even have it plugged into the ps3? you can unplug it easily when you start dust.

See, I honestly really have fun playing matches against you, because I get to try and figure our where you're shooting from and how to get you down from wherever you are. I like the fact that I'm starting to see more snipers lately, because they really are a valuable asset if they're good at what they do, and I think a fix to improve the thumbstick deadzone will likely make them even more useful. I've actually had my ass bailed out multiple times by that heavy gunning for me with a CreoDron Breach taking a round to the side of the head from a distant structure. I'm all about snipers, even if I'm terrible at it myself.

o that lol its more like i think is needed for you guys i dont mined i can sit there hop on ts and play the music and still help the team.

Well we all know it is impossible to help you out because your to busy jamming out to kid rock or back street boys. :P

Sorry had to troll you. :)

Back Street Boys am what is being grandpas' musics.

what is back street boys

Isn't it harder to snipe while wearing one of those "tails"?

i would like to say I'm a decent sniper but im no miracal worker. I either sit too long or move too much X| and if i actually get my rhythm down people tend to skip across the map as if they had teleporters so i totally gave up on sniping for now untill things become a little smoother.

(and yay furries ^_^)

Ow to any snipers if you suck abit at hitting infantry but insist on being a sniper thats cool but can you please take out the drop ships. Size of a barn so its not all that hard hell its almost as good as a swarm 4 that job.

if any thing ask i got 2 hrs befor i jump back on dust.
time 7/21/2012 10:35 am E us

pony, pegasus or unicorn which would u be ?

pony, pegasus or unicorn which would u be ?

wearing it? no its a part of me and it helps with balance.

it's hard to be nice with Fury when he put is music on is mic and play is dump music all the game and don't talking...

After swarm luncher, sniper....really

ASK a way what do you want to know to help you get better at it ?

That would make you a Therian. Furries are different. I know people in both communities.

Your OK I actually killed you in a game about 15min ago and luckily for you the timer ran out before i fired to kill you again. But I give you props your good and your suit blends in niceily with the towers aswell.

Hey,
I Just started playing and want to focus on the sniper. I created another toon originally but i think I messed the skills up, then I found this thread. I've got a few questions:
Where should I focus my Skill Points to start?
What rifle should i start out with? (provided i spend SP and not use the starter rifle)
Any additional items I should start off using?
Thanks for any help.

your furry music is bad, and you should feel bad!

nice game sniping a little bit ago. I think you and I were top kills.

23/0 and 23/3 ?

Bad Furry bro man I be da best sniper next to you, just keep moving and use the sway to help you aim in certain situations man ME AND YOU SHOULD TAKE A WHOLE CORP OUT TO DINNER WITH OUR SNIPERS!

^Ok, did I just try to be a gangster on the internet?^

Anyway, I'm pretty good at sniping, and I have memorized the way my rifle sway while scoped.

ya for the ones that dont know to be fair the scope all ways when you zoom in jumps up and on the rise as it go,s up add one pis above your dot and thats were the rounds going to land ( only when you 1st zoom in and when the scope do,s its 1st rise up)

IS THAT A YES FOR DINNER?????

well i need to know how you look 1st and if your not fat then yes i dont mind taking you out to dinner and a nice drive around town and back up to them towers that we were sniping at and we can go and clean ech other rifles.

Therian? how do.s that make me not a furry when i dont change forms ? 2nd you can be a Therian and still be a furry Rockoons 3

1. Yes, you can be both Therian and Furry, but the statement that your tail is part of you defines that you're Therian specifically, and not that you're necessarily Furry with it.

2. You obviously don't know enough about Therians.

I LOL'ed so hard...Anyway hope to see ya in-game. Would be cool if I could duel you with only sniper rifles.

whats with the hate?

a goos sniper is hard to find because i's one of the hardest roles to play. You need to hit EVERY SHOT. or at least 80% of them, or you're useless. It's too hard without K&M for me : (

im not humen if thats what your asking

1st off get a millt scout suit and put your sp into the sniper rifle OP this will let you get the sniper pro then drop sp into Drop suit command till lv 5
next get sniper rifle Pro skill to lv 2
next work on Electronics to lv 5 and engineering to lv 5
next work on Electronics upgrades to lv 5 (the skills give you a bost to cpu and power grid with lets you add more junk like nanohives and Smg.s and Armo rep and dmg )
next get weaponry to lv 5
next mechanics to lv 5
next gal scout drop suit skill to 4lv or lv5 if you want to use pro( im happy with 4 for the cost)
this is mostly the skills you need to help you sniping and do your job well and stay alive longer.

you then may want to then branch off and do trian for CQB
like using the Smg.s and for when the drop ships are on your but put sp into the SL
hope this helps

ASK a way what do you want to know to help you get better at it ?

Thank you.
Is there particular rifle I should start out with?
and thank you for the help

sorry but the last ting i wanna do is ask about any kind of tactics or team play when the person in question is notorious for blaring loud annoying music on comms so his team cant talk

thats just like asking Pdiggy on what should be nerfed

When will we be able to really snipe? I mean with a mouse and keyboard.... this controller crap bugs me limitless.
My L1 button seems to fail at times and the other controller has a buggy right stick which means I'm ****** with a sniper rifle.... a civilian assoult rifle could out-snipe me... and those controllers cost lots... so no replacement.

So Furry what do you think is best sniper rifle to use? And what do you think are most improtent skills to first lvl up for a sniper?

I like to think im descent at sniping...not the best but im trying lol. Plus it does feel good when you bring someone down with that single fatel shot.

1st off get a millt scout suit and put your sp into the sniper rifle OP lv 5 this will let you get the sniper pro then drop sp into Drop suit command till lv 5
next get sniper rifle Pro skill to lv 2

this is mostly the skills you need to help you sniping and do your job well and stay alive longer.

I understand the sniper rifle, drop suit, electronics skills (Well now i do sense i have had time to play with the skills, thank god for Beta lol) but im curious why you would go engineering to lv 5 before weaponry??

The only sniper that isn't useless is the one next to me on the field. As for the ones in the spawn and camping places meh they are useless

Ok silly question, how do you get to the top of the large pipes or the roof of a building in Ambush? Do you catch a ride in a ship and eject/jump when you are over it? Also, once up there, is it worth dropping a mobile spawn point or are those better served being dropped on the side of the maps or behind enemy starting spawn locations?

How do you get people from taking you'r kills. I would dmg a heavy with a sniper and then an AR guy will finish him off while i aim again or the enemy runs away.

Hey Bad, I think I killed you more that one round than you did me from across the map with my forge gun.

The one thing ALL good snipers are?

Quiet.

That is all.

its hard to talk a bout bugs in game and rant and snipe at the same time . so ya i know who you are cant w8 for the range nerff on them foreg guns .

Let me get my scrambler pistol then.

I've always wondered why people can openly pronounse themselves to be "Furry" but people who call themselves "Gay" or "Lesbian" cannot... I mean all three are sexual affiliations.

You sir, are badly informed about furry's.

You sir, are badly informed about furry's.

As a semi-furry I can attest he is very mis-informed its more of a escapism than a sexual deviance. Some are just higher affinity with thier animalistic natures, other rather denounce human characteristics becuase honestly humans are not the best sort of creatures either.

There are some devainces though seem to have a stronger following in furrydom than outside of it though but none the less furs and non furs have them both and those that are typically stronger in furrydom would be sorta weird or creepy not workable outside of it.

As back to the topic, how not to get sniped. Don't stay still is the first step
second step finding out where the sniper is
and third step waiting for the right time for the sniper to stop paying attention to you and shoot back at him.

Naw just Bad Furry to much in tune with his sniping music and mistakes the breeze generated by a sagaris railgun as musicaly motivated inspriation. :P

your talking to one then i gest and thanks
its why im doing this .

We well placed sniper can keep bravo and charlie on the current skirmish map from being taken.

Unless the other team either hunts that sniper down or has at least 4 (maybe 6, depending on the sniper) players coordinate to group-hack both uplinks simultaneously.

Make that 2...l consider myself average at best, but l move from loc to loc...give cover fire...swat at those overgrown flies...grab objectives....mine/nade tanks....swing out the SMG for some run and gun.

As for a question....hmmmm.....do you ever drop an RE next to you...and when a Dropship comes to sit on you...back up and go click

True a good group can overrun any light amount of defenses, snipers are what I like to call anti-heros. They stop people from becomming heros.

its as if you never seen me drop 5 guys in under 8 secs at a point

Now drop 4 - 6 guys split between two points, and you'll prove me wrong.

Because I wasn't talking about all of them attacking one of the two points being covered, I was talking about them attacking TWO points while they're being covered by only ONE sniper.

And even if they get the point, that still means it took at least 4 players to beat one.

The "hunt down sniper" option is definitely the better one to be going for.

one sniper cant cover all the points in the map theres no F#$%ing way even if you sat on the thing in the mid of the map theres no way you or any one or i could pull that off you woulf have to run from one side to the other and then hope there not in dead space.

We well placed sniper can keep bravo and charlie on the current skirmish map from being taken.

Nobody said ALL the points.



That's what I'd been talking about. There are a couple of places where you can cover 2 of them as a sniper. NOT all the points. Only 2 of them..

Point being that you can't cover both alone against a coordinated simultaneous attack

LIVE DAM IT !

I smushed you twice today

What?...
Lol anyway dude, good game.

What's the most effective weapon for zoom distance? I noticed Fidelity mentioned in Tac sniper but not sure if that means it sees clearer (longer draw distance) or zooms in more than the others... Could make the difference when i'm trying to counter snipe...

Hi guys, I play a scout+sniping+scrambler game. I generally come near the top of the table when the match is over (never, ever top though... still waiting!), so I guess that's not "useless".

It's a lot of fun, particularly if you are dominating as the attackers and pin the other team down in the far north of the map, sniper heaven as they die and spawn over and over and if you are lucky there is a supply depot nearby.

My question after reading this thread is how can I be more effective at taking down dropships, LAVs and HAVs, this past server up time I tried AV Grenades for the HAVs but it wasn't very effective. I remember reading something in a sniper description about a "well placed shot" being able to do more damage to vehicles, so is there a weaker armor spot I should be aiming for?

I realise that trying to be Anti-Vehicle is not really a scout-y thing to be doing but it would be nice not to have to ignore them completely.
