This brings me much shame. As a sniper that fights from extreme distances including the redline occasionally this slightly upsets me.

Only slightly.

You know there are some of us out there that are actually pretty decent at what we do. Don't paint us all with the same brush.

Tinfoil hats for everyone!

Ahhhh, just in time for Proto AUR suits...

proto AUR heavy suits! Now it costs real money for them to be worthless! WOOHOO!

Doesn't that only kill you? I believe the exploit for crushing your own teammate with an LAV is still valid.

who the hell is gonna be dumb enough to afk in proto gear

lol. man- if you are worried about what another squad or player is doing on your team, you must super duper suck.

I love when people rage on me for sniping.. I always check and see their 0/3+ KD and here I am at the #1 slot for our team. But! because I am sniping it's somehow a problem that made them suck? INstead of shooting at me, or trying to LAV ramming me and worsening your stats in the meantime, why not fight? Join my squad... er no. Actually, I only like people who add WPs to my squad. I don't need any butt hurt charity cases.

At least do yourself a favor and make sure the sniper you are ******* with sucks. Otherwise you are just embarrassing yourself.

It's been systemic that anytime someone messes with me when I am sniping they have far more deaths than kills and 100 WPs or so. Instead of being obsessed with how others play, why not get good yourself and help the team win? TKing does nothing to help win. But I guess butthurt nerds with nothing else to offer will act accordingly. That's cool by me! I lol at your expense :)

this is aimed more toward the snipers that end a full skirmish match with less then 5 kills and the annoying AFK squads hiding on the MCC. but yea once you have more them 3 snipers its kindof hard to hold on to any point none the less then cap anoughter and actually win without a ton more work on everyone else. i snipe sometimes and if i feel there is to many snipers on my team i don't keep on sniping, i go out and pick up points and control them.

This game currently is devoid of the capacity to fight as a team. Unless you go way out of your way. The best in game mechanics (and that is sort of a stretch but stick with me) are squad based. I literally don't care about anyone save who is in my squad for the most part.

There may be snipers sucking out there on my team, but I would never know. I worry about me or my squadmates and the GAME just plays itself out. Win lose.. I just have fun.


It's just plain dumb with these players salivating about killing or messing up people on their team. Go find another game. Or hell, a life outside the game. It's sadder than sad with this crapola. The OP should feel like a tool, because nothing about this thread is anything other than his personal invitation to his toolbox mentality. I lol the most that this is based off of the advice from some moron with a podcast. HAHA.. I mean, a podcaster?! ... haha.. lame.

I will motivate you. Or I will destroy your fits.

Oh. and Your Name Here. I'd suicide gank him for a klondike bar.

*slow clap*

I don't redline snipe, but this sounds pointless and stupid. AFKers is one thing, but killing your own snipers just cause you don't like the way they're playing? WOW.

I have not been able to reproduce this using Militia Locus Grenades and a suit that will survive cooking off the first grenade.

In fact, the blueberries in question showed no damage.

and on a more asinine note, I prefer AFKers as my victims. they're worthless and need to make way for people who contribute. Enjoy the timeout and no-SP in the spawn screen.

I came across an AFK guy behind a mountain earlier. Called in an LAV and ran that fool over, a few minutes later he was booted from the game for inactivity.

I felt pretty :smug:

And his HAV too?

Where do I send the case of Klondike Bars?

How much for that HAV anti-OB QQ whiner that was on the other day?

I do Snipe. Most of the time flanking or second-line.
I'm sure it happened to me to snipe inside redline, when red are overblocking blue.
I don't want to be (and called) a redline sniper, but how could I know i'm inside the redline ?
Cheers

*/watches as CCP adds no SP gain while inside a mcc/*

That's not going to stop people from spawning on the ground or hiding behind a mountain.

I personally only do this when my team gets redlined. Then all bets are off. So if my team drops their ARs, their HMGs, their mass drivers and start kill farming from the redline because they lost already?

I will motivate you. Or I will destroy your fits.

You'd be surprised at how quickly many pubmatches turned back into a fight after it became clear that hiding wasn't safe either.

agreed just because you cant here the sniper since team is not a default voice for all people (give us proxy at least gosh darnit) you dont know if the sniper is calling out enemy positions to his squadmates or if he's locking down an objective. (a decent sniper with a decent gun can lock down two objectives on manus peak with relative ease)

I hate the fact that you all paint snipers under the same color. There are some great snipers out there who help your side a lot in terms of cloning the enemy and saving clones for your side and he/she is also probably working with his/her squad providing info to them and helping them out. I'm talking about the dedicated sniper who usually 1 hit kills anything that isn't a heavy or proto suit. What's the point of having a range of over 700m when all players want snipers to go into the battlefield and be at a huge disadvantage.Just remember some map are not sniper friendly where advancing into means certain death and it's not the Sniper's role to go CQC but he can take the risk in getting better positions.

The only cure for red line snipers is to counter snipe and if you can't do that have some of your sniper team members take him out. If he can't do that, he just isn't good enough. You can also use orbital strikes on a group of them, too. Killing blue dots because they are sniping is not the cure. Just back out of the game if you see half to all your team sniping is another solution.

For those of you too lazy to listen to the podcast where Cerebral Wolf explained this in detail:

stand next to your cowardly teammates, the more the merrier.

cook grenade. do not let go.

Explode violently and take them with you.

enjoy the rage.

It takes two militia locus nades to do this, but don't worry. Most people don't react to this.

If you have an AFK bunny do the same! if they don't respawn manually they get booted from the match, and lose the ability to farm their SP! it's kinda like a variant of the votekick system.

I highly encourage people to enjoy this unless CCP declares it an exploit and bans it or if they patch this out.

Of course... it may be an intended feature and they had an office betting pool on how long it would take us to find it...

Tinfoil hats for everyone!
