sniping sux.. unless you are a battle/counter sniper which I know of about 2 good ones.. all noobs are going sniper.. it just makes you part of their "camp", pun intended.. go assault.. it's more manly, you won't regret it.
also the tactical rifle if you can use it well makes you look like a pro and will impress those around you.. i dont recommend 3 round burst until they fix the F'ing frame rate freezes.. which there are many of right now with all the roleplayers chasing their million sp carrot..
assault bro, it's the all around thing that can get you more SP than some lame sniping from the mountains will and you'll feel like a chump crouching there when someone flanks you or drops a bunch of lasers from space on your head. i always target snipers with those. |

Hit detection is a real pain and I don't think that the reticule lines up with the bullet very well, or theres a fraction of a degree of inaccuracy which really stinks when your target is a few pixels tall.
ARs are common but I don't like them. I haven't had much success with them but thats mainly because I need a mousepad the size of my living room to turn.
Now snipers have a bad name, mostly because they are killing a lot of AR infantry and they whine about it. Do you're team a favor and focus on killing other snipers first.
Edit:
Teabag up there is one of those sore people. But he does bring up a point. The SP you get from sniping is usually pretty poor unless you can break a 10-1. Sniping can get boring but you proved quite a bit of help despite what people say. I do wish that CCP would fix the hitbox for structures which makes protecting some null cannons at certain points impossible.
Double Edit:
Regarding what rugman said. Sniping isn't a garenteed one hit kill weapon. With an advanced sniper and Sniping/Weaponry to Lv5 w/ 2 weapons upgrades, It takes two body or more body shots for most non scouts.
LOL..
I been killed by a sniper maybe 5 times in the last 100 hours of playing..
They suck because most of them get score of 2/9, they don't take objectives there's like 12 snipers every fkn game and a squad of 4 actually fighting for objectives. Yea they are all a buncha k/bm nerds.. go ahead keep sniping after we flank you for an easy kill we spawn a dropship at the end of the match and laugh as you go tumbling down the mountainside.
I'm not saying every sniper sux.. Idk if you do, never played in game with you.. but most do and a team of 12 snipers is a massive fail.. and every game for the last 2 weeks has been 4 ppl at the top of scoreboard with positve scores and the rest the "snipers" are at the bottom with 2/9... with the pilot at the very bottom at 0/0 of course. |

It's all in the way you play, I have sniped you a few times (along with countless other poor souls as they race across a battlefield strafing and jumping for their lives) but I am not afraid to go and get into the gritty bloodbath with an AR either, I love to change it up when the battle requires.
you're actually one of the only snipers i respect because you were down there in the nit and grit with us defending some supply depot with us on the venuslike planet with lightning and jagged rocks.. the rest of these noobs running for the nearest mountain top can go2hell
iirc correct you were switching back and forth from the supply depot from counter sniper to AR at the appropriate moment which i highly applauded |
