As a dedicated sniper, the majority of what i do is relay enemy postions and light up targets for the rest of the team. I know that i am hated by red dots because i can ussally draw 3-4 players from the battle to try to counter snipe me. So now the rest of the team is only fighting against 12-13 players. How is that not contributing? People that think snipping is not contributing seems to be the same people that continue to run in a straight line across an open area and then complain when they die. i say leave the rifles they way they are....they are fine once you spec up some. Yes i shoot from far away, and yes you could call what we do as taking potshots...but either i kill em or my team finishes them off. Nothing wrong with softening targets for fellow team members. On the note of sitting in the back and shooting across the map. I dont seem to understand why people get so mad that i speced into maxing out my range (to avaoid anyone getting close enough to kill me) while they would spec into shield and armor to stay alive on their own class. (Note: if the damage is increased we will all still use 3 complex mods)
you kill me twice and I have your exact position, respawn as a sniper, put two in your chest, then laugh since you now have to waste another dropship to get back up that building/risk being farmed by using an uplink since that position is rather obviously covered. then whip out my pistol, kill that assault who thinks he's clever, rushing the sniper. walk over to the supply depot and pick my regular assault rifle and pistol combo back. |

See you on the field to see how well you can implement this in game. Tough to camp an up link that i don't use. I still say leave the guns alone. There are alot of bad snipers out there, but there are just as many bad assults and heavies as well.
I'm not the best at any given item in this game. but I do most all of them competently. one of the wonders of ADD actually. one minute I'm rushing you with an assault rifle, the next I'm holding the line with an HMG, the next I'm pissed off and hunting down every idiot watching the field through a scope, thinking they are some kind of god. I instill the fear of mortality in them. |

They either die or they run and hide. they die because they were not expecting anyone to return fire and could not run away fast enough. if you run, you are afraid. I conquer my fear with rage and vengeance.
What do you conquer yours with? Hiding on the side of a mountain, praying that bastard with a rifle who got fed up with your antics didn't see where you were running to? Don't worry, I saw you running, I'm already lining up the shot. All shall be quiet soon little "immortal"
I shall then do as any good sniper does: Leave the area to find new prey. |
