I honestly want to know. Do those who actually revert to sniping when they are being red lined actually think they are benefiting the team in helping those who are still trying to take the points?
Getting a couple lucky kills against other snipers is not helping.
Running in with me as an assault class or any other class that DOES NOT HAVE A SNIPER would benefit the team more.
If I see a sh*it load of allies sniping, then you better watch your ass, because i'll be running you all down until you get the point that you are of no use to the team. |

I snipe the whole game, sometimes from the redline. If our team is pushed back to the redline, they shouldn't start sniping trying to get a few skills, they should stick with what they're specced into and try to take back some points. As a sniper who frequently gets first place, I wish you would look at what you said a bit more critically. Us halfway-competent snipers can lockdown objectives and make groundtroops question showing themselves in entire areas of the battlefield. If the assault guys on the ground would handle business and not run around like headless chickens, us decent snipers would be more apt to help.
We're not all bad, but most of us are. |

Dude dont go into this no skill buisness. In every game people run around pretending like one particular set up is the pro set, FPS bravado and all that crap.
Some people just like having a high K/D ratio, they arent bad players they are just not team players. |

Some people just like having a high K/D ratio, they arent bad players they are just not team players. Even mediocre snipers make good team players. I try my best to contribute to the team by holding objectives, area denial, relaying information, etc. The K/D just comes with it it's not the end all be all.
Some snipers out there are doing more than you think in terms of contributing to the team. Again, most are awful but there's a few good ones out there that really do help turn the tide. |

dude i came first on the leader board on one map
my score 0/7
if i was that type of player id be the typical Assault suit ar shield tanking player you see today no im running around in the scout suit placing drop links capping points spotting tanks using anti vehicle caping installations
im getting sick of people who just run around with a ar and kill people
you know if you actually try and take your time capping a point is REALLY easy you just need to wait till there all spawned and moving to the front line

If my team is redlined, ALL my characters have "Free Hugs" fittings with Drop Uplinks. I break spawncamps for my team.
When this results in nothing more than a second sniper perch, I facepalm, and continue to try and find an opening from which to turn the match around, or I give up and just go on a Shotgun killing spree, preferentially targeting enemies who are heading towards a position our Snipers can hit them. Or letting heavies get into Sniper LoS and take a few hits before stealing the kill.
Good times. |

I've redline sniped twice. and both of those times, my team was pinned in the redline by the other team's snipers. I killed/scared them off for long enough for the people in the proper suits to break through and cap a point.
both games were lost causes unfortunately, but I feel my contributions( covering the assaults, logi's and heavies) made it a less curbstompy loss. |

Hokay. Seriously though. I've sniped from the redline before acting as a rear scout for my squad. I've even had games where my -entire squad- sniped. Lacking a ridiculous sniper, having snipers work in tandem is more effective. Two snipers picking the same tarkets are guaranteed to get kills, and lots of them.
Having discovered -that- for myself and having been seemingly one-shot in my heavy suits before, I started having a certain appreciation for the coordination necessary for those snipers running in pairs in Skirmish. There's a significant level of coordination required to pull off a successful snipe-squad like that. Having a third man to counter-countersnipe keeps them alive. The counter-counter might die, but the primary snipers keep on trucking. |

According to the water usage meters, Harkon doesn't shower enough. |

Tell him to shower more! Just because you're out killing people for a living does not mean you have to smell like blood and gore. You're representing a corporation! |

I have made a habit of when the enemy is red lined, to just go back to my redline and use that time to clean house, cook dinner, take a dump, just anything that needs to be done. 75% of all redline games are over at that moment due to lack of desire to push foward, no reward, and the "ohh my k/d is ruined " mentality. |

He doesn't know it yet, but technically, every member of Dead Six is one of our representatives. I don't make Dead6 what is it. The membership does. They are my spokespeople. |

Worst thing about a sniper coming from a logi is the moment he gets up with no other red dots around. Pick someone up only to have their head explode! |

Curse text's inability to properly translate hand gestures/ inflection. the "you're representing a corporation" bit was for Harkon. Self respect and hygiene goes a long way when you have to represent a group.
it's a corporation made by mercenaries, every single one should be a representative of the whole. |
