Sadly this is a major problem in most "team based" FPS games. I could understand 1 sniper was in back and was actually giving out locations of key targets. Now when a whole team does it because they are getting red lined, why not just leave the game and find another game? Surely you can't find sitting behind the red line that fun, now can you? |

Which is why more people with snipers need to actually move around and play the game.
Yup, hell, got into a game earlier, my whole team was getting redlined so all them switched to sniper loadouts. 2 other PFBHz and myself was the only ones to have a positive KDR and we actually pushed out of the spawn to attempt to get letters. I personally think that if KDR was removed out of the game, players might not do this as much. |

Personally, CCP should do one of these.
Make the red line something you can't shoot from and get shot in and after some time if you haven't moved from the red line, it'll kick you out of game or kill you. This will force the red lined team to push out.
Or
Make it so that red line isn't there anymore and make it have random spawns of where it use to be. That away it'll give all the players a random chance of making it out of there and if they are getting red line they'll have a slim chance to push out of it. |

One thing is, and I've been playing FPS games for almost 10 years, 9/10 snipers are always useless. The main reason in objective based games, they sit in back and lay in wait till the objective is being taken than take a shot. Those snipers may have good KDR but are rarely usefully for the team. I'd rather take a sniper that moves with the group than a sniper waiting in back. |

Actually, yes I do, thing is most people mistake real life sniping and video game sniping. If you want I can break it down to you.
Sniping in the real world is like this. Each sniper is assigned a spotter. The spotter is the the eyes and voice of the sniper. He or she listens to the spotter to confirm if the target in the line of sight is in a good alinement and if the settings are far for the shot. Sadly, doing this on a video game doesn't work though since 1, both players would have to be snipers and 2 it leaves your team down 2 members now for objectives.
Now, video game snipers don't work like everyone wants them too, 1 sniper per team is more than enough since his or her job should be spotting targets and giving out locations. Though last time I seen a sniper actually do that was back in Battlefield 1942 and most of the time now I see snipers as nothing but stat padders, people trying to act like a real world sniper, or players trying to do those ******** quick scope head shots.
Now with that done, there are modded rifles in the world, or as others call them DMR. These DMR which one of the most common kind is the M4A1, it is a single shot rifle that fires 1 round as fast as you can pull the trigger. Those snipers are trained to move with the group to provide mid range back up support were other snipers from longer range can't. |
