Just my opinion as a (counter-) sniper.
(TL:DR version at the end)
Yes sniping has become easier this build and there are way more (way to many...) snipers this build then last build.
I'm playing more as a (counter)sniper/droplinkdropper/supplier then a mere sniper, so I'm NOT the standard camper and therefore can't really identify myself in those you're all attacking but the idea is the same. I'm killing you from far, far away.
Yes CCP should remove the camping behind the red line it sucks ballz, CCP should add some, read SOME sway even when crouched and yes CCP should do something about body/head damage ratio.
On the other hand CCP should also do something about the Bunnyhopping or Biebering as I start to refer to it since it is freaking unnatural and to be honest even if you jump all the time a decent sniper just calculates where your a$$ will land or as I like to do it simply shoots you in midair (I love doing that).
But on a sidenote...has any of you even played as a sniper at all , and I mean the NON-camping fully specced 1shot your dead version. it isn't ALL camping and getting K/D ratios (at least not for me since I seriously couldn't care less about KDR, I just want to win the match tbh all whilst fulfilling multiple tasks). A decent/good sniper does exactly the opposite of what you're all complaining about, otherwise he should be quit easy to kill and you can only blame yourself. You just have to make sure to kill him or make sure someone takes up that task.
If you hate snipers then the answer is easy; hunt them the frack down or make sure your team has someone doing this for you.
I have met a few players already that are quite competent at it, and if they are in a game with me I know I am in serious trouble If i'm not 100% alert 100% of the time.
Ingame I have to make sure to always stay on the move otherwise "intelligent" players will have my head in a few secs.
I had to make a build so i can be 100% self-sufficient since dying means loosing momentum, as in having to start all over getting there where I was or wanted to go. This means I have 1 weapon (1 build has 2, but it has another purpose), almost NO armor/shield and I have to spec. shitloads of different skills to even remotely get on a level where I want to be. (the NON-camping-usefull-supplyiing-healing-reviving sniper that actually aids my team instead of worying about KDR). I have only once or twice NOT died in a game... and up until this day I still wonder how I managed that, must have been against some players lacking total tactic insight or something. And all that talk about the 15/0 kdr is kinda bullshit since that is exactly what happens when you pilot a dropship or a decently armored tank. My KDR average is not even 1/1 and I seriously couldn't care less, even if it dropped to 0,01/1 as long as i fulfilled my duties and played my own style.
You want to make a sniper go in rage-mode... kill him with a blade, trust me pisses them of more then anything else. (I don't know who it was but one of you made me rage quite a bit yesterday whilst snipping a dropship) Can't reach them, get your a$$ in the hills and track them down. Anti-sniper, a decent radar and dropships are also quite effective.
Or you could just do what I have to do against dropships, counter-snipers, sniperhunters/airsupport etc ... that is to anticipate the fact they are an integrated part of the game that isn't going away by TAKING FREAKING COVER. If I see someone running in the open with no cover for over 50 mtrs then trust me I will have his head. Make the detour and stay in cover. If I want to go from A to B I more often then not have to go from A to CDEFG to finally arrive at B after having traveled across half the freaking map. All you peeps have to do is move those 5 meters to the left/right and stay in cover and get some countersniper in your team, can't be that difficult...
just my 0.2 cts. I ain't trying to start some kind of 'war' here by telling some of you lack some sort of insight, but that is kinda exactly what i'm saying...
Peace.
PS: Next time I see anyone running towards an objective I shall NOT clean the surroundings , nor shall I take down 1 or 2 red dots when I see a teammate masterly getting flanked. And the defense of our objectives, nah forget it, it would simply make my teammembers rage; me being an OP'd sniper and all... then we'll see if we're really as useless/raging/Op'ed as some of you really think...
Peace, out.
TL:DR version : ANTICIPATE THE FACT SNIPERS EXIST AND TAKE FREAKING COVER // GET A COUNTERSNIPER/SNIPERHUNTER IN YOUR TEAM and you should be OK (or not... but then it's on you) |
