Havent read posts except for OP. Reason why most hate snipers is that they GENERALLY are less useful than players "in the middle of the action". Reason being:
Good snipers can be VERY helpful, problem is that bad snipers are pretty useless. If they cant kill, they arent doing anything... and if not in a good location, cant even spot enemy positions. Atleast with assault/heavy in the action, even if theyre bad, they can arm objectives, throw down nanohives, revive, or even just be a target that'll distract opponents, until better players can kill and get stuff done.

Sarcasm is cool and also super constructive.

This post is in response to all the bad rap we snipers get for sitting in the mountains picking people off instead of 'getting objectives' or whatever their reasoning may be.

Please understand that I'm quoting without quoting due to the amount of text involved.

But hey,what do I know?

Yes CCP sniper is overpowered. There is no sway on the sniper rifle anymore. Half the damage and triple the sway. I mean imagine if all us snipers had to get and mouseboard and key.

I mean the list of people screaming snipers are op would jump to 5 of us. Listen to us please CCP. I hate these damn snipers.

Guys relax a little too,if you read around tony likes taking the ****. 2 of my clan mates are navy men from the south and I must just say their hate for the northeners and wicked sense of humor is awesome.

But seriously nerf all these damn snipers. Make the scout suits hit box twice the size. Make the damage half and add marshmellows. Please bring back last builds horrific sway. Nerf keyboards and mice. You have to listen to us! We don't want to ruin the infantry game. I'm also talking to you damn tanks and dropships. This is called infantry 514!!

have to say increasing the sway is the best solution as well as moving the charge to at least an advanced sniper taking up 93 cpu. Sniping was more difficult last build, i miss it.

read the other posts, people hate snipers because they are OP

Yes, you can kill someone across the map but only if you have put the sp into the right skill in order to have the range. My k/d is only 2.0 because I don't try to be a kill *****. In other words I tend to stay in one spot and try to clear off an objective instead of just taking one shot and ducking to hide.

I must be doing something right to **** off the other team because in three different matches over the last week or so I have had precision strikes called in on little ole me, twice while sniping and once after I switched out my rifle for a proto swarm and killed a drop ship and then the squad leaders sagaris.

If it doesn't take some skill, then why do I have 6 mill or so sp and only be able to field a pretty good sniper? Generally the rewards suck unless I have a tremendously good match and go 18/2. I also hack objectives when the match starts and when I see the other team not paying attention, I'll hack and run back to cover it and try to stop them from rehacking.

I don't carry nano hives so I also hack supply depots, clone vats, and I carry uplinks that I deploy on the assault maps so I don't have to do a random spawn and my team mates can use them to get into the map without much risk.

So you saying southeners aren't awesome? Don't pretend to know my motives. You have convinced me of one thing. Ccp need to look at the stats of people who played with the controller last build then look at those same people using the mouse this build. They then need to look at the numbers of everyone playing snipers and look at the real kd numbers.

I don't pretend to be the leader of anti snipers,I just hate being part of the new in. The number of snipers have gone out of control. I'm not complaining at all. My kd is skyrocketing with all these op snipers neg bombing.

Lol with tips like wear a assault suit and wear a heavy suit when sniping I'd swear you are just setting up easy targets.

But hey,what do I know?

This is why snipers are disliked. 'Getting objectives' is what wins games. But most snipers aren't even covering hack points.

Here's a tip. South east spawn on plateau (the one with big towers and pipes) has an open view of B hack point from your Redzone. From here you can prevent anyone ever taking B from your team. 25% of the game won by a single player.

Edit: Rank is right, I do like taking the ****. Only a little.

About thouse good ole boys from the south, the army and marines look for good ole boys from the south that grew up handling a .22 and a 12 ga. from the time they could keep the butt off the ground. Those are the guys who make the best snipers in real life. Of course, I'm one of those good ole boys myself, born in Texas and raised in La. and Miss., hunting squirrels with a .22 and deer with a 30.06.

Lol I laugh at snipers that try to kill me since I have 323 shield with a very quick shield regen. So even if I do get hit I can easily go into cover for a couple of seconds before going back out.

Also any sniper that kills me better be ready to be confronted by me at close range (Unless you have an awesome sniping spot, and I mean an awesome spot)

I'm still waiting to hear this part. You should make a post where you aren't ranting and being sarcastic and just say things logically and concisely.

What?

Why do southerners have to be awesome now? What are you even on about? I made a comment to Tony regarding his spewing hateful vitriol was akin to hate crimes seen in the south where persons wish a serious detriment against a particular class of people for being who they are and nothing else. Please don't tell me you think that kind of behavior is funny. That's the only analogy I've made with persons of the South, and I was attempting to use a specific subset of them... it isn't to say that all Southerners behave in that fashion either.

Dude, the mouse doesn't work! Have you even tried using one? The turn speed is so slow it'll get you killed in a heartbeat.

I'll give you that... the new crop of snipers are horrible and should just stop.

I've never used an assault or heavy suit while sniping. Neither does the dude you quoted. He just switches to swarm launchers occasionally for AV combat. Are you ok?

You know what,just cancel that invite. You are too complicated. I was talking to infinity. If you can't follow the conversation which isn't long just forget about it. I would rather play against you.

So damn serious too. The marshmellow should have been a clear indicator I was being sarcastic.

The last thing I will say ever about anything sniping related will be increase the sway to last build.

I'm on your side,except for the sway. I'm used to it that way already. No learning curve for me so I don't care.

I will not hate my clan mates due to the fact that they hate the northeners. That would be continuing the circle of hate. I love them, it warps their minds.

Sorry if I raised your blood pressure slightly. Any time you are keen to do some sniping with me you can send an invite. I'm really not in this to make enemies. Ask my fellow corp mates. When things are serious I'll do anything to help anyone on my team anywhere on the field. So you will have to lose the mountain only sniping if contrabanjoe gives you an order.

I'll retract what I said here, I didn't understand the sarcasm in the beginning.

Sarcasm on the internet is an art, and I is easily missed sometimes. My apologies.

I would like ccp to follow stats and decide nerfs,not us. Any game that the community has begged for nerf after nerf has turned into crap.
