Sleepy Zan, I would like to say first that I've had the pleasure of going against you in the past during closed beta and I have the utmost respect for your marksmanship. Im not even going to say your kdr but more towards your average wp per match that I've seen. Your a great at run and gun tactics and your team supports you and you assist them in kind.

Now with that out of the way I have to say Im ashamed of you right now for starting this thread, it's something I would expect out of the influx of our newer players but not from you. No one, not even you have the right to tell anyone how a particular load out should be played. At the moment Im still the best sniper in my corp and I will hill top, front point snipe to keep enemy snipers off my squad mates as the situation dictates. I also run my sniper in assault suits so if sniping goes south I can run in for front line service, If someone enjoys the idea of sitting on a hill top the entire match, do what I know you can do well and shoot them, that's what i do.

This isn't going to be a true fps without the quick-scoping guys, so come and join the few that do. I have seen more people running and gunning with the sniper and I say, "kudos to you." But to everyone else, what is better than to use a sniper to out CQC a shotgun or headshot that annoying protosuit guy face to face. I just see to many people being lazy on mountains and it makes me sad that they decide not to use the sniper to its full potential like they do in other games in other games. So come on down and turn this into a real fps ,bring you friends.

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.

I'm just reminding people that there are other options, really the main reason why I use a sniper over something like an AR or a shotgun is that it can deal with a large variety of situations once you work to overcome its limitations. One thing I have noticed while playing this beta is that another person on the ground can be tremendously more effective then that person being in the mountain away from the conflict. That will probably change when we get much bigger maps of course, but now the sniper on the mountain is really the one relying on his team to get the job done and win the game rather than the other way around. Yes, camping with the sniper is very effective when it comes to defending objectives but right now ,mainly do to the size of the maps I would say, the snipers role is very much overrated.

Give the snipers some "Scout"tools like Binos to laser target enemy positions and then they can be useful. Actually when you put your scope over someone the red dot will light up even thought they are out of the reach of your normal scanning range.

The ones I hate are when Sleepy Zan is already sniping you as you spawn in your own redline. He knows all the forward sniping points, and knows the exact locations that you're gonna spawn. . Actually, I just see the blue light as you materialize and shoot at before you actually spawn in. CCP should get rid of the delay when spawning in so you can move around right out of the gate.

You don't ******* run around with sniper rifles and shoot people. You stay in one spot and move to another. Quickscoping is so STUPID! I can't stand it. Snipers are supposed to be far far away from the main battle accounting for gravity and wind, they don't go to the front lines quickscoping. Well, I find quickscoping more fun than running around with a boring old AR, and this is a video game. What were you supposed to do in video games?.... ...aww yes that's right, you bring your negativity to the forums afterwards, your doing it correctly

This game isn't a militairy simulator, but it's not some arcade game where you can jump spin around in a circle and quick scope. That's not what sniping is and it's a shame COD has done something like that to sniping. Yeah, how long have you been in this beta. Do you know the meaning of an exploit, because I don't think shooting people with my gun is one of them.

Most i've seen including myself is 3 and that's only when trying to get back into structure. Like Chunky Munkey said: "The people with long range weapons use them from long range . . . wah." So I'm gonna sit there and get blown away willingly? pfft yeah ok Who said anything about sitting.

At the time I made this thread there was a huge influx of players sniping from horrible positions (a little similar to what I'm seeing now). I'm not saying anyone has to do anything I'm just saying the option is there. I have seen some of these new guys get some nice shots off on me lately, good times ahead gentlemen
