Well try sniping and see how little kills you get when you die constantly on counter sniping, sniping is fine what isn't fine is you whiny little bitches that who ran on the open begging to get shot.

I am telling you as someone who for whatever reason is more successful than most people with a sniper rifle that sniping is overpowered and needs to be nerfed. I expect any other snipers in the top 10 on the leaderboard would probably say the same. Sniping is nowhere near where it needs.

If your heading to take out a sniper this is what I would do, never run in a straight line, move, and sway left to right, and when your close enuff shoot him. They are most likely going to be croutching, either that or they run. Just a tip.

I havnt seen one good sniper yet tbh

Pitching a tent up in the hillside doing **** all except taking potshots now n again

its all about the PTFO not camping somewhere behind a building or on the biggest mountain, the only contribution would be in ambush K/D is nothing.

taking out swarmers that are shooting at your teams tanks or dropships..so yea dont bash snipers saying they are only good on skirmish..i think if i see you with a tank ,i will the swarmer kill you and your tank

Snipers do not need any appreciation. We do not put ourselves in any great risk. Why should we have any kind of significant rewards when you're just sitting around someplace partaking in a turkey shoot?

Oh yeah? Why are there so many red triangles on your screen? Whos dropping the uplinks behind enemy lines? Who's holding off 3+ guys in full proto with a rifle just so you can spawn safely? Who's sniping turret gunners and vehicle gunners so you can advance safely? That's me.

If you're camping in a mountain with a rifle, good for you. But I'm on the frontlines with my fellow logistics and Assaults fending off attackers or poppin' defenders in the face.

All about how you play the game, man.

[quote=Fiasco Llana][quote=Fivetimes Infinity]Snip helped MORE is if the same guy was down AT the objective with me, covering me with an AR and actually helping to cap objectives, complete squad orders, dropping hives/uplinks, repairing, tossing grenades, etc rather than being stuck up in the hills only helping with a single aspect.

when i snipe,i prefer solo

that's interesting, I didn't know there was a 1v1 mode on Dust.

That's why the suit is called scout. Really they're behind enemy lines. There is no sniper suit. A real sniper is someone who hunts snipes. People who camp in mountains are not snipers, and really they aren't scouts. They're just... Marksmen? And even then they're only marksmen if they can actually hit something.

Hunting birds on this game wouldn't be fun, nor do I think their would be snipes on an uninhabitable planet.

Cool. Anyway, this is a thread about snipers.

You know... If you want to get technical about it.

When we talk about snipers we're referring to people who are sitting somewhere shooting people with a sniper rifle. It's great that you took all that time to write that post up, but that's not relevant to this thread. If you're dropping uplinks all over the place and otherwise "on the frontlines with my fellow logistics and assaults" then that's not what this thread is about. Although if you think assault or logistics roles aren't being adequately rewarded you're certainly welcome to make your own thread about it.

It's super inconsistent, and it seems to be going up a bit. I played last night and was getting 20k+ every match.

The hard part of logi is that your warpoints are heavily dependent on how much teamwork you get out of your allies. If you have a team of snipers and lonewolves you'll never get to rep, revive, or resupply and everyone will pick the default random spawns over your uplinks.

By contrast, on maps where my team is showing some semblance of coherence my drop uplinks get used consistently, there's almost always someone in my nanohives, and since people are staying close by I can be there to revive them right away. I've pulled in 50k in a match and I only got, like, three kills.

agreed.. that's what I do in my Logi setups... lay down drop links.. follow a group of people.. when a firefight breaks out, drop a nanohive and work the repair tool keeping the heavies on their feet...
