Way out over there! did you know that you can run from one source of cover to another? why, if you did that, you could make your way to the buildings and structures that are littered all over the map! who woulda thunk it? hey here's another cool thing that you may not have known...you know those buildings and tall structures that are all over the place, near and around the objectives? they stop bullets! yeah I know, shocking huh?

All weapons need a significant range increase and there should bullet indicators that tell you from which direction you're being shot at from even if you're not getting hit. The fact that we're playing on barren deserts does not help either. the counter to a sniper is a Infiltrator/Assassin. which does not exist yet because there is no cloaking. wait till we get cloaking. Snipers will die. Nova Knife in the back. painfully. and no, weapons do not need a range increase. then we'd all be snipers. Snipers are fine as they are, and this is coming from someone who doesn't snipe.

Very few have the skill (that I've seen anyway) to require I post being made saying they will kill the game.... It's called be aware of your surroundings and adjust accordingly. If you sit still of course you are gonna catch a bullet. Stay on the move and stay aware of your surroundings. Most snipers I've encountered don't hit very well when you are on the move. So if you notice you are taking fire from somewhere let your team know and try to eliminate the threat, whether alone or with teammates. And honestly most of the time the snipers I've seen are just like annoying flies not really making much of a difference so no need to sweat them. Seriously if you are having that much of a problem may be time to rethink your choice of games or genre all together. the bolded stuff. if a Sniper headshots me while I am sprinting to an objective, I won't do anything but give him his props. and then go hunt him down.
Tyrius Madison 97	Posted - 2012.10.08 00:32:00 - [7] - Quote A good sniper is far from a nuisance. The problem is that there are not very many good snipers yet. Long range suppression is not to be underestimated, in the course of winning a match. A good team of snipers can keep an opposing squad running and ducking in disarray, while the Assault guys mop them up.

Would you rather keep that minor nuisance following you around like a fly that won't leave you alone...or would you rather have this nuisance removed completely? I'd rather keep it. If you remove snipers, then you may as well remove everything except Assault Suits and the AR and call it a day. of all the things wrong with Dust 514, you being personally mad at snipers is not even on the list.

I know many people who share my same feelings on almost every issue I present on these forums. The thing is most of them gave up on this game a long time ago. thats very nice. everyone has 937439057389563895738756395 personal friends who share the exact same viewpoint as whatever it is they say on the forums. they just so happened to not be here agreeing with them for insert reason. I'm sure that when they remove everything that can possibly kill you except the suit and weapon that you personally use, then all your hundreds and thousands of like-minded friends will come back. IF Sniping is even a problem at all, and it isn't, it'd be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list of things that need fixing.

Your magical ninjas will sure love to be spending their time running a kilometer across desert just to knife a lone camper in the hills in the back. They will definitely be the ultimate counter to snipers. You clearly don't understand the motivation behind many EVE players. A great number of people would love to spend effort moving up behind a sniper completely undetected and kill that player before they have any idea let alone have any potential to respond. Oh EVE players. I forgot. This game is designed for EVE players. This game is trash. Goodbye forever. See ya Mr. Throw-A-Temper-Tantrum-Cause-A-Sniper-hit-you! thumbs up

Most of them are staying scoped in and dont pay attention whats happening. Try to sneak up from behind and place a remote explosive under their butt. Boomers - preferred method of killing for any respectable Planetside Infiltrator.

I remember a few builds ago I was actually getting sniped at meduim range. Now almost every sniper sits in the red zone or off in the mountains. only issue I have with sniping at the moment. if they are camped out sniping somewhere, I should be able to get to them somehow to try and kill them.
