Snipers? No problem. Get some dropships and buddies and take em down. Hell a tank can do it. HELL why don't we just chase them down as infantry? |

So you think snipers should require multiple people in a vehicle to take on? And if you go on foot you'll die to any half-competent sniper, assuming they're even in a place you can get to, and assuming you manage to bypass the rest of the sniper's team in the process.
Lol. I play sniper and understand them to some degree.
If you can't do all of the things I said or don't want to? Guess what. Get a counter sniper. From my previous experience, you only need one to disrupt their "reign". They'll get edgy and paranoid and decide to not snipe after a while. And if they do continue to snipe. Well easy kills for the counter sniper. The counter sniper knows exactly where the redliners are and will be, so the counter sniper can move to many different locations to throw them off.
That's what I call the Sniping Cycle. They'll be too focused on killing you, their major threat, than taking down your teammates.
You can counter snipe in a basic militia fit *shrug* and learning to snipe isn't that hard. |

Lol. I won't stop. Why? Because even the basic sniper should know this after a while. By a while I mean like a couple of games. |

How am I wrong? For stating the obvious choice of tactics?
Someone's sniping you and you can't get to them from your position with your current fit.
What do you do? Take an alternative and deal with the enemy. As I have said in this thread you have a few options.
1. Vehicle suppressive fire 2. Swarming the area with Mercs looking for the enemy sniper(s) 3. The safest, and smartest route would be to counter-snipe.

Exactly!!!
Apparently we're wrong for thinking basic tactics are basic.
Just fricking get a sniper rifle and HS and sniper. They'll quickly divert their attention from the main troopers to you. |

Think about it realisticly How about we think about it in the context of a video game instead? Quote:Honestly lets just grab that nerf bat and make all the players in proto gear able to be one shot with a smg from 500+ yards away. Lets Call of Duty this game right now before it gets anymore interesting. And then let's write a bunch of useless hyperbole and act as if the game is perfectly balanced and there's no room for improvement. Quote:Try learning something else or running with competent players that can help you cover the aspects you are not geared to counter. I am a sniper. I am telling you and the other clowns, based on my not insignificant experience playing a sniper, that snipers are too effective and the counters people have been suggesting are mostly ****. You people always seem to think the only people advocating for sniper balance are the people being killed by snipers for some silly reason.
Lol. These tactics work. I've seen them work. Over and over and over and over.
If you think counter-sniping is poop then you obviously don't know what you're talking about even if you are a sniper.
I mean. If you can give a good reason why such tactics are bad...sure. But lol really what are the negatives about those tactics? If a sniper can see you from red line, you can see them. Especially with the black outlines currently. |

Exactly. Can I say that 90 percent of these snipers out there are bad? Hell. If you're redlining without having your whole team redlined you gotta be a bad sniper. |
