You, sir, are a bonefied badass.
That said, snipers already are not the all powerful, all untouchable gods some people seem to think they are.
As a sniper, most of the places I get to are approachable by foot, with few exceptions. Even "Witch Mountain,"* as one guy was calling it, I get to mostly on foot. (Lav gets me part of the way up just for speed) It's actually too tall for a dropship.
Now, there are some places that are not reachable by foot, yes. Options for those are usually simply grenades and massdrivers, heavy snipers, and a few other simple things.
Soon, ccp is going to release new terrain features, like actual vegetation and not painted dirt. This will both help and harm snipers as it will give us new places to hide, but you will have more cover to deal with.
Also, at some point, ccp is going to release some new vehicles and vehicle mods, like an artillery turret for tanks. This will present another anti-sniper opportunities.
Lastly, if all else fails, an orbital is always a good choice for cleaning snipers off of a mountain.
But, like several people have said:
scout suit + shotgun/ar is a sniper's last nightmare. Throw in some profile dampners and the bastard will never see you coming. Also, if you are confident in your damage output, throw a precision scanner or two in your med slots to help light them up on your sensors.
As far as lasers go, there is nothing wrong with them. If you die from lasers, it means one of a few things: other people were shooting at you and the laser got lucky, you were standing still in the open like a stupid blueberry, you were moving slowly through open areas, or you were at the very tip of his range.
Lasers get bonuses from two things: distance and time active. The longer they are continuously shooting, the more damage they will do. Also, the longer the range they hit at, the more damage. So, if you are at a medium range, and they start hitting you with a laser, close the distance. Move side to side a bit, but close distance. Our damage will be small and pitiful, and we laser bros will die like children amongst bigger, angry children with bigger sticks.
So, stop with the butt hurt, learn to fight these people, and don't ***** when someonek |
