Snipers are useless... AKA the SCUM of infantry everywhere
.
What Snipers can do
1. Slay (Kill people)- I can do it better
2. Defend objectives- I can do it better
3. Farm KDR- I can do it better

What Snipers Cannot do
1. Give ammo
2. Provide consistent support
3. Cap objectives
3.Anything useful

After hearing all of these sniper statements I am beginning to that LOGI players are higher then Snipers in infantry Hierarchy

You're forgetting one very crucial fact...In Ambush especially, the sniper will have a far better KDR than you will, you may get twice as many kills, but chances are you die 3 times as many times...therefor the sniper is more useful to the objective than you are.

I personally think that if KDR was removed out of the game, players might not do this as much.

I guess you have never played against/with me if your making such stupid statements

I don't need to to know how you play to say the typical 5/1 KDR of a Sniper is more beneficial than the normal 2/1 KDR of a Run and Gun player.

5/1 KDR is +5 your team, +1 Enemy Team for a +4 Net gain for your team

2/1 Is +2 Your team +1 Enemy Team For a +1 Net Gain for your team.

I HIGHLY doubt you are posting a 5/1 KDR on the ground, HIGHLY doubt it.

In Ambush, those "Typical Snipers" you are all Bitching about are worth more to the team than you are.

You can certainly make the argument for Skirmish though. UNLESS those snipers have a birds eye view of the objective locations and are skilled enough to pick off any opponents trying to capture it.

Defending your objectives is just as important as capturing your opponents.

I highly doubt that sir, no offense.

IMO CCP needs to give the snipers something better to do up in those hills other than snipe.
Give the snipers some "Scout"tools like Binos to laser target enemy positions and then they can be useful.

they sit in back and lay in wait till the objective is being taken than take a shot.

I love those games where you join half-completed and my team is already redlined. 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.

Scout in the hills spots and paints the target. Guy on the ground grabs his mass driver and launches in the right general direction. MD round tracks in on the painted target and boom!

Lovin' it.

[REQUEST] Mortar-like weapons
Update: We have a design that will give the Mass Driver a secondary fire mode that is very similar to a mortar and other designs for "area of effect" weapons as well. For now we are focusing on imporving existing weapons first.

Get off your damn mountain and come and run and gun on the ground

Those objectives don't cap themselves and trust me it's way more fun then sitting up there in your lonely nest all match. 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.

How is quickscoping good sniping? 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.
