i think its great.

You think it's great to glitch like that? That you can be sniped from behind a rock but unable to hit back because said rock is standing between you and the person sniping you?

kind of disappointed in sniping I love to snipe in most games. But here it is just find a rock hide behind it so i can hit you but you can not hit me and then let the red glow on the screen. it is so easy and takes no skill to find people because they light up red soon as they are in scope view.

I think the arrows are crap myself also. The headglitching is horrible like I move see the sniper shoot 5 times in the head and then I am dead. :/

Also the red arrows are crap. It takes the challenge away from sniping. I feel there is no reason to be a mobile sniper in this game. It is about finding that perfect headglitching rock. and sitting. There is no reason to move because the enemy sniper is just going to spot you instantly because the game puts a big red arrow over your head. Call of duty is a great example I can shoot 2-3 people move to my next location shoot a couple more. Same with BF3 you actually need your redicule dead on the guy before he lights up. Here you swing your scope across the map and you have a christmas tree.

I could see if they where withing 50m maybe even 100m but anything pass that you should have to hold scope on said object for second before it lights up. Just way to easy to light things up does not make strategic sniping as important when it is so easy for you light up other snipers.

no im just saying that the arrow makes people easy to spot and not hide like bi****s. i do think is bs when ppl hide behind a mountain.

Theres a big red Chevron above your head because you've been spotted you scrub.

It's a game of memorizing the detail terrain so that you have an idea of the inviso rock. You'll get used to it.

This has nothing to do with your statement.
I have a question.

Is this the same Trollsroyce from FFXIV?

Nope, an old Royce from q1tf and cs

Skill up drop suit command (among other skills) to lower scan profile and it lowers the chance of the red chevron appearing.

The use for that red dot is to:
1) provide a fast scan of targets and aim through fog
2) scan through obstacles, allowing "impossible reaction" shots on people swinging around corners

The primary aim method is pixels. If you want to hunt snipers, always check the pixels instead of the red dots. Signature is quite irrevelant in most cases, and there are much better uses for the slots than sig mods.

I endorse this message :) But I actually do use dampeners, just trying them out really, not quite sure how effective they are.

I got owned by a set of snipers and there wasn't anything I could do about it. I couldn't snipe back due to the glitch, i couldn't lazer rifle i couldn't tac rifle. a tank held down vehicles at the redline and no one could retaliate with any weapons at the snipers.

And as a parting shot, the snipers on Line Harvest (the ones who are at the north end, up the mountain)
are impossible to kill. A severe glitch which should be addressed.

You can get the snipers that use the head glitch in the Line Harvest peak by counter sniping them from the hills right behind the Objective C. Another option is to the hills between A and C and climb the mountain there and counter snipe them. You will have to run into the red zone for about 5 seconds.

A snipers best friends are speed and stamina enhancements and a LAV.

I'm not sure about how snipers themselves play, but it seems to me that most of them are just a nuisance. If you know which direction they're in, you can easily avoid them. However, if they're a good sniper, have good tactics and good aim, you're going down regardless of your circumstances.

Granted, if you're running a lower tier suit or something, that nuisance might just get a lucky shot off and one hit kill you...

If one person does it, it's called necromancy. But if multiple people are doing it, is it called necrophilia?

I know a lot more about the bug and how to deal with it at this point than I did then.

Plus, there's been a lot more n00bs coming in, so it's all new to them.

I've been dealing with this a long time.

Here's the thing. You can also find a small bit of terrain and put it between you and the enemy sniper doing the same thing. You need to find that sweet zone where you don't hit the terrain yourself, but are barely peaking over the terrain so your shots do not hit it. You know you are just as protected by the glitch when you hear shots hitting around you, but you take no damage. This can be the start of some fun sniper games, as it comes down to steely nerves. Usually the first person to adjust gets nailed, and you want to be ready for him to adjust a little bit to see if he can shoot you. This typically is a huge opening where he is exposed and you can nail him. Especially since being on terrain can mess you up huge and have you unintentionally standing. Better him than you, so be careful.

Now! You'll be free to take a shot... BUT WAIT!

Which sniper rifle are you using? If you are counter sniping, then hands down, use the charge sniper rifle. You also will want as many of the best damage mods you can load up. This way- you can easily one shot a glitcher, and not have to worry about shooting him twice because that is a lot harder. After shrugging off that shot, he can then just hide, repair, and resume an adjusted glitch spot. So you would be back at square 1. When using a charged sniper rifle, a half charge shot will do half damage. A full charge will do full damage. So you may have a chance to get good enough to do a follow up half charged shot and take someone out. Always try! Also, you can charge while in ADS and crouched behind cover, and then ease out slowly already scoped and fully charged.


So back to taking that shot... if you shoot a sniper and see the glitch. Do not fire again. Move. Firing again will just show him where you are at and probably deliver the same glitch. You want to one shot him. That is the goal, so it has to be a head shot. Remember how I said you needed to peek barely over the sweet zone so your bullet flies as opposed to hitting the terrain in front of you? Well, he's doing the same thing. You need to learn to ignore the chevron and your dot turning red. You have to learn to approximate where that small sliver of his head is exposed and nail it. It's possible that you are at an angle that would make it very difficult to find that achilles heel. That's why it's best to move like a ninja staying behind cover and try again.

A small word on profile dampeners. I use enhanced dampeners. I would use complex were I skilled up enough. Using weird bits of cover, and this is sans glitching mind you as well as at times CQC, you can peek barely around corners, take a shot, and move. No one seems to know where I am, and even if someone hunts me down I lose them every time.

Also, there are some really good snipers out there. I get countersniped all the time. It usually comes down to who kills each other the most between two snipers battling it out. It can be pretty fun, and I've had some friendly back and forth mails with players after some epic glitch grudge matches

That is why I don't enjoy sniper vs sniper battles from two mountains.

While not one of the people you've traded mail with, my girlfriend has had a few sniper duels against you.

Her fittings are mostly built around durability and being able to tank that first hit - often even from a Charge Sniper. She quite often gets shot by an enemy sniper while lining up her own headshot, then one-shots them before they can follow it up. She's been accused of cheating by not dying "because I had stacked mods" by more than one Sniper. I've also seen her evade most of a Precision Strike then go back to sniping more than once. In CQC, she's not so great, but good HP backed by a decent SMG with reload skills and she has plenty of kills there too.
