Finding a spot to sniper past the red line, to kill those taking an objective, is quite impressive. That and the fact their team is managing to hold the other objectives, while having one man guard a single objective without being countered sniped.
If it's more then one sniper puppy guarding that single objective, either wait for your team to counter snipe him and his buddies into oblivion, counter snipe him and his camper buddies your self, or go capture another objective.
If you die once, and then repeat the same process in hopes for a different result, you must be by definition, insane. |

Well... clones are cheap, in the mythos we are basically immortal sociopaths willing to throw ourselves into the line of fire an endless number of times in the hopes of earning a quick buck.
So... yep we are all insane and pretty much gonna die alot. |

That's part of the job description. Snipers do the following things:
Find a perch
Cover objectives
Lay down covering fire for teammates
Call out enemy movement
Suppress enemy forces
Make your life difficult
If they stay redlined for too long they die anyway. If you want the kill instead, find a supply depot and switch to the sniper starter fit so you can counter it. |

The community has suggested numerous and varying ways to solve this, but so far no gold. |

Have the redline area be able to be shot at as normal.
Timer tells you to get the hell out and the enemy can shoot at you
Also make maps provide no cover for the border zones people will want to walk in, have it vertical cliffs and endless expanse. |

The problem is the ingame sniper mechanics reward camping. The reason is that when moving sway is beyond stupid, but if you stay still it calms. Also crouching and staying still massively reduces sway. If you can counteract the mechanics to reward firing from mid range while on the move, be my guest. Until then though it is simply folly to try aggressive sniping, much as I try in vain. |

If an enemy sniper can hit your team then your team can hit him. This forum is getting far too cloggged up with players who are hard of thinking and cannot devise counter strategies.
Ffs if you are getting killed too often by snipers or lasers or forge guns or whatever your nemesis is it's because you are not thinking about the whole game. |

if you would notice that in skimish, there is a red line cut off for the enemies, so they can't camp the mcc spawn and the spawn next to it. so what you think is the red zone, isn't the red zone for your their team. and vise versa... so they are not camping in the red zone at all. they are camping in area near their spawn. |
