Today I played a few games by myself, at one point I went into a skirmish game, it was anus peak and before long the opposing team had all objectives. I did my best to get a letter and push for the objectives, but it felt like a lost cause.

I then checked the map to see what was going on (maybe I needed to change spawn points to help my team) I then found out why we were getting owned. It was because there were 8 snipers on my team not hitting anything or doing anything. This went on for the rest of the game. Since I play with RND I barely come in contact with this strange phenomena but I do see how bad it can get. Usually we fight against groups of snipers on anus peak but it was interesting being on a team with only snipers.

It makes you wonder why people are so scared to die in games. Having a militia suit with only militia gear in it doesn't cost anything, so you can easily go into combat without to much risk. Maybe everyone worries about their precious kdr.

Well anyways thats it. We lost that round.

wow. what a new and originally fresh topic no one has ever mentioned before...


I was minding my own business lazering people when.. well, I won't name names, but someone with a Thale ended up getting counter sniped by me 5 times in a row. Then by some odd coincidence we ended up on opposing teams in the next match. I sniped him.. another Thale gone. I took out 6 Thales from the dude.

It was satisfying to see him switch to AR on the kill feed.

See what I am saying?

You probably didn-¦t read my story, because i didnt ask for anything to be changed or nerfed or buffed or whatchamacallit I just shared my experience. SFU and stop hating on people without reading.

Nah- but I mean- this has been discussed and bitched about to death. It really has.. see search.

My point? Sniping is fun, and sometimes it's the only fun when you get put into a match that's half over for the fourth time in a row on the team that is so far gone on the losing scale it's hopeless.

So it's a game. it's beta. have fun.

What is worse is when you are losing with eight snipers on your team and you are run around doing your own thing and get sniped by a enemy sniper, I mean really !!!! wtf !!!!

People care about their KDR too much, it's even gotten to the point that playing in team with a friend of mine is impossible because i can't rely on him not to pull a houdini on me when sh*t hits the fan and we have odd's of dying, he will be long gone using me as precious extra seconds to get away alive.

Ahh, teamwork at its finest. I do think people are scared to die. Since there is a corp enviroment and you have to be eligible to compete, because Corps can only have so much room and they have to train for each member they take, and they can only field 16 people during a district event and you have to pay for your gear. And the fact the game is hyped as meaning something to the MMO world and that its more "real".

All of those things steamroll into a ball of please don't let me die.

Sounds like someone should've



B) team killed

C) kick back in the MCC and enjoy a beverage for the rest of the match

KDR

When snipers become a problem on Manus.... I simply go sniper hunting. I have my Assault Suit, with a couple of damage mods, and a Sniper Rifle. Problem solved. I don't even need to buy a Scout suit.

wow, my story touched a lot of people. I hear a lot of people saying I should just start sniping too. But actually the only time I start sniping is when my team is redlining the opposition, to kill all the people who are now sniping, to get at least a few kills in. I'm all about action so I rather just go for the objectives. I don't care about dying especially not in my militia suits that cost nothing, and I definitely do not care about kdr.

My best action on Anus Peak was when we were redlining and the opposition was pretty much all sniping. I brought in a dropship, the cheapest I have (which I made for situations like that) flew it to the building in the red line, bailed from the dropship. Landed on the building and took out 3 snipers with AR before getting suicided by the redline timer. That was pretty epic.

CCP made nearly every map in a bowl, surrounded by mountains with head glitching spots.

I don't even blame snipers for doing what they do. When you give people the tools to play a certain way, they'll use it. Plus, there's no "middle ground" sniper rifle...if you know what I mean. No battle rifle, like the SKS, or SVD, or any other battle rifle you want to mention. The long range sniper rifle, and the mechanic needed to use it (crouching) encourages mountain sniping.

Not saying all snipers mountain camp, but yeah. CCP needs a battle rifle variant, and get rid of this crouching mechanic to to lvl off the scope on these medium range rifles. Press L3 / R3 to hold breath.

But it's CCP... we might never see a battle rifle version or variant in DUST....or we might...who knows

As far as I know, it's only Manus Peak, that the mountain surrounds can be a problem, as you can nearly get shot at every objective from a mountain on this map. Open beta is not the sniper paradise, closed beta was. On the post, if you see 8, hey even 3-4 snipes up there and you can see your team is effortless in taking the objective, pick a sniper yourself or just sit the map out. Eventhough I dont snipe much anymore, I still sit on a mountain, if I can see my team keeps getting steamrolled in the start, as its a waste of ISK for me.

Correct me if im wrong, but KDR doesnt register through skirmish games anymore?
