Erm, that is exactly what I'm saying I don't want to do. I do not want to play tank wars. I am more than happy not to play if this is what it devolves into. |

Coordinated teams ? 4 man squad with 14 other no mic'd randoms, you mean that team. lol.
your corps ? In eve I take it ?
4 man squads, squads can't group = NO TEAM. Maybe this is to come ? It would be nice to know. Don't get me started about comms. |

I haven't seen a sniper get 10 kills this build Icey. 50 was simply a standard which people currently do not meet.
That funny because Ive been in a few games with you and Ive never seen you with "amazon" K/D ratios. Maybe it was just bad games for you, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
IMHO sniping in Dust isn't about getting kills, its about area denial. Snipers aren't meant to randomly kill everyone if you do you increase the chance of getting lynched. A sniper victory isn't a high kill death ratio. A sniper victory is one sniper holding down an objective an entire game. because he kills anyone that gets close. Or killing the crew of a tank who keeps bailing in order to capture an objective. Or killing three guys that got the drop on one of your guys because they are too distracted to notice that they are taking massive chunks out of their health, sure the sniper might only get assist kills but he's still helping out.
Heres a question for you;
Who is more valuable in an ambush team:
a) 5 assault guys with 3/6, 3/4, 1/8 and 4/9.
Or
b) one sniper who gets 15/0. (K/D) |

Nope, Seraphim initiative is a Dust corp and we were pulling these tactics off before this build and 4 man groups and 3rd party comms simplifies things for us in this build. This game sucks for lone wolfs I'm sure but working in teams is real rewarding |

so you dont like the idea of squads being able to group up so you can have a whole team of your mates/clan/corp on the same game /map at the same time this is what I want how about you You cannot work in teams...... (YET) SOONtm. Maybe. |

I'm lost............. Grouping as it is, is you and 3 friends...... that is a pathetic number for a squad a far far from any kind of team. |

We love the idea and are gutted it wasn't fully enabled for this build but we work with what we've got and get as many squads as we can in one side as often as poss. We know better grouping will come in full game so not gonna hold it against Beta for not having it yet........it's frustrating yes, but it's Beta |

This^^
And l just got out of a game where l got 10 kills, granted l believe l went 10/7...but l took out Assault, Snipers, guys manning a Jeep Turret, many many assists...all the while holding down A...and placing Spawn points where needed.
As for 50+ kills......l think lve seen that maybe twice in 3 months of testing[usually someone in a Tank]. Sniper wise, a guy by the name of Night Eyes[or something like that], lve seen get 20+ kills several times.
Mode wise, l think Sniping is way better aid for a Skirmish team then Ambush[hate Biomass, Plateus not as bad]. |

The real question Icey, is who is more valuable. 15-0 assault or 15-0 sniper. If the assault guy has a hive/injector, clearly he wins because he'll support his team. If the sniper drops an uplink, I'd kill him myself. No uplinks pls in ambush...
I agree having a sniper watching a hack point works. But it's mind numbingly dull. In an important game it's worthy. Until you don't one hit them... and they come kill you.
And yes I am sucking badly this build. I can't earn any SP. I can't seem to find a fit which I like because of that. Which means I get less SP again, until I get the shotty out. Then things go fine. Oh and the first bloody game I joined people already had HMG's so it's been an uphill struggle. I'm still getting top spot in about half my games.
Oh and that's probably night-times. Most prolific sniper on MAG. Only rivals were the illnitsky's and coppatop. Nighttimes used to average around 100-1 from what I remember. That's a worthwhile sniper. |

@ Tony...
You obviously play alone too much as DU's are almost a neccesity in ambush, unless of course you like being spawned in the middle of nowhere or worse in the middle of six red dots. |

You know what I do when I find an enemy uplink? Unlike the fools who blow them up, I camp them. Spawn campin lie that is a fully legit mechanic. The problem is you can't spawn elsewhere. And yeah I am pretty much playing solo. Makes you better :D
I just hate the idea of being force to spawn 10-20 times knowing I have a fatsuit HMG watching. Feels too much like spawning back in Replication :-s
I like playing alone, the game is harder an more frustrating :D I like playing in a group too, but currently with the game not saying who's on, in game, w8ing or whatever, I just cba to group. |
