imo you're not going to get any better if you jerk off in the hills all day.
get into a good squad. Join a corp. Play with people who are good and you'll just get better (eventually :P).
FPS skills seem to transfer well from game to game. I think Unreal Tournament feels closer to this game than many others, and it has my favorite weapon, the ASMD Shock Rifle!
Anyways, this game has no single player. If you want to improve your FPS skills without showing off how bad they are, you should check out another good FPS game. If you're used to a PC and not a controller, you might want to connect a mouse and get a cheap bluetooth keyboard. imo the best FPS gaming mouse is WMO 1.1a, so don't feel like you have to spend some cash on an LoLHighDPIMMOMouse.
otherwise, practice makes perfect. The more you play, the better you'll get. As long as you're not too ashamed, it shouldn't be too bad. |

That's true. Counter snipers can be extremely valuable to your team. I just got the impression that he had trouble doing that too, but some of that may not be his fault. Head-glitching is annoying =/.
In terms of defending objectives as a sniper, it can be done, but usually not from the red line. You have to position yourself in certain areas. Although that's the nice thing about counter sniping- you can worry less about how people can get to you or know where you are because you'll probably be moving around a lot.
I read what you said about defending objectives, and it sounds like it's more of a problem with your positioning. You don't want to be too close to the objective you are defending. You want to be far enough so that people who are trying to take it can't reach you if they're at the objective. Shooting the guys in the null cannons is hard too. There's a fairly large space between where the wall ends and where you can actually hit, so it's kind of like an additional invisible wall. Watch other snipers, see what they do, and you should be able to figure out what works and what does not.
Upgraded pistols are a terrific CQC weapon, and since almost no one can aim you'll get plenty of kills if you can. It sounds like you won't be running and gunning, so I'd suggest forgetting about pistols for now.
imo I really like snipers who can run with their team. You might want to practice doing fast hard scopes in your red zone for a while on a pole or box to get this down. There's really no quick scoping in this game, just people hard scoping quickly. |

There are plenty of youtube vids explaining stuff like the different ways of sniping. Probably should look at drag scoping and the like too. Quick Scope doesn't work in this game (from what I could tell). QS is when you use the auto aim to fire a shot as soon as you can get it to register, which is before you can even look and aim down the sight. Hard scoping quickly is just quickly sighting your rifle and taking a shot. There's a difference XD.
You should probably talk to other snipers in this game. I'm just going off of what I've seen and what has worked well against me. For the most part I don't like snipers, but I can't deny that they do have a purpose, and can be of some value >.< |

I don't think you should hip fire tho! Just move and put up scopes, then shoot. I don't think hip fire for sniper rifle works well in this game, but you can try it on a wall or something.
Mister Belding wrote:I currently wear a Scout suit for the lower profile and for running the hell away when things get real, is this the preferred dropsuit?
I switched my suits around. I started in another suit, then sniped in scout, then moved on to another. Scouts have a smaller hitbox and can move around quickly, but they can easily be one shot by almost any rifle. Other suits have more tank, but are slower. I think it's up to you. I'm not the biggest fan of profile dampening. Just don't go heavy. Not only are sniper heavies lame, but they don't have equipment slots too >.> those heavy snipers are worse than even a random blue dot afking because they need support from their team mates to be bad!
Mister Belding wrote:Are codebreakers worth looking in to for running down to the objective when it's clear and hacking back?
I'd get talents first. You can use hacking speed talents on any suit, and you won't gimp any of your stats. Using codebreakers on a suit reduces tank and what your suit can do so you can hack slightly faster. It's up to you if you want to use them or not. If you do use them, use them on a logi suit since logi hacks faster than any other suit.
edit: I would recommend prioritizing. If you want to be a sniper, spend your sp in sniping skills. You're probably not going to be running to cap objectives as much as you will be defending them, countering other snipers, and covering your team as they try to capture them.
People have different opinions on this, but I recommend making an alt PSN to get some passive SP on another guy. You can try new things with him too. That way if you don't like something, you put it on a character you don't care about and can get skills you want more on your main. |
