Tactical ar. Team mates

Read Marine Sniper, a book about Carlos Hathcock who was more or less the father or modern snipers/recon. He held the longest shot for around 40 years as well as the record for verified kills.

So like i bet a few others posts like this but snipers are down right annoying. So far from what i guess they just train to get then end sniper then call it a day.

i wouldn't mind too much but you cannot really sneak up behind them. most are perched up in these high mountains you will end up dying a few times trying to find the right path to mountain goat. So what just say eff everything else and start training in sniping?

-.-

With sp and isk the way they are now, you have to specilize and I chose to train for a sniper. Yes, some of the maps are good for snipers but it is not all good. Those ambush maps where you spawn inside a complex make a sniper almost useless. Even then I won't field a militia assault fit because I can contribute more if I can get outside and only die twice before making it and end up getting 1 or 2 kills. I suck with a militia assault and while I might get 2 or 3 kills I would die 6 or 8 times. In assault it is more important to not die than to get a kill.

Snipers role on the larger maps is to use their speed to get to and hack control points and supply depots. After hacking you then look for the perches that will allow you to help protect the control points. This is work and not easy as I'm sure you know. The terrain is very difficult and you often get stuck on grades that you really should be able to move over easily, lots of dead ends and lots of times when you have to jump over the cliff because you are now trapped by hostiles

One of a snipers main roles is counter-sniper. If you are getting killed by snipers, then you need a couple good ones on your side to even the match. When snipers get hit by other snipers, they tend to spend their time looking for them rather than looking at the rest of the battlefield. I know I don't rest and don't forget till I can return the favor by picking him off from a new hide or running up behind him with my smg.

Yea, maps that are littered with snipers is really annoying. I have one word for that though: Dropships. bye-bye snipers.

dont stand still.
dont stand still at spawn point.
do head for cover
do use the landscape to your advantage
do become a mountain goat, i like being a mountain goat its cool and yes i die.
do snipe them back. it is a game of whits, who is the more clever sniper.
sniper is that dude who kills the guy shooting you and saves your bacon.
sniper is that guy who becomes you second set of eyes, they see things you cannot

little tip on becoming the mountain goat, click run and jump at the right time and you become super mountain goat.

Simo H+ñyh+ñ: 505 sniper kills verified before Hathcock was even born.

I wouldn't mind if sniper rifles got removed.

Most of the time snipers are not contributing anything towards the objectives.

A good sniper providing overwatch across a couple of objectives that are controlled by your team can force the enemy to go hunting for the sniper before they're able to go for the objectives.

I'm pretty sure keeping enemies away from an objective is a useful function.

My self and a buddy do this in BF3, you would not believe the amount of people you can pull away from a battle when you annoy them with the sniper rifle. you don't even have to kill anyone just take a few pot shots and they'll come looking, this great fun!

And I don't care for their kittening KDR. I'd rather have someone with 0.5 KDR and an assault rifle next to me while completing objectives than a sniper somewhere on a mountain top miles away.
