I sent you gents an application a while back, probably about two or more weeks ago, on my toon named Nathan Daemon. I sent it on that profile and not this one because I have 4.6 million SP on Nathan, and I've only got 580k on Irish.

Anyway, after my impending SP respec, I'll be a dedicated sniper. I've been using Irish to scope out the feel of that play style, and it suits me. I usually clear a 4.0 K/D (only meaning that I'm not a liability), and I make money calling out enemy positions and movements to my squad. I can usually garnish about 600 points toward an orbital strike, between kills and sneaking behind redberry lines and stealing an objective or two, or a CRU/Ammo resupply, as required by the squad leader.

As a squad leader my self, I can more accurately place orbitals without the need for someone in my squad to spot for me, or for someone in my squad to waste a fitting slot carrying an active scanner.

I've heard you guys are the best, and I think you guys could use a real life Marine in your ranks. I know a wee bit about tactics, and would love to talk to your recruiters. Respond here or by PM if you're at all interested.

Happy Hunting.

Really? In general chat?

That also means you're not an asset.

Sniping is a very low risk/low reward role. There is absolutely nothing impressive about a 4.0 k/d when your only job is to hide on a hill while your team does all of the work.

If I was a garbage sniper like 95% of the douchebags in this game, Id agree with you. My K/D, however, is earned whilst taking shots at reds attempting to take objectives, my kills are made when they don't run from my first round. I keep effective overwatch of objectives, I use my small profile to sneak behind lines and effectively capture respawn points and eliminate the enemy's capacity to resupply their ammunition by capturing ammunition depots. I use my vantage point to keep my squad in the fight, prevent them from becoming surrounded, and keep them appraised of what objectives are ripe for the taking- all because I can SEE. Perhaps I'm not killing as many redberries as your average assault rifleman, but I'm providing a service that most squads sorely lack- intelligence.

If you think that's not an asset, I can't wait to see you in game. =)

I like the Irish , I'll see what I can do.

Speaking of snipers, where in the world is Sleepy Zan?

I'll copy this thread to the proper channels. Snipers are NOT useless. Whoever thinks such probably hasn't been in PC and probably never will be.

You could do all of that with the generic assault/cal logi + tac build with an identical if not superior KDR while also contributing to firefights. Sniping is strategically useless in this game.

Crickets from Impswarm? Maybe they don't feel like trolling a US Marine. +1

Curious: Any particular reason why you aren't posting as Nathan Daemon?

Irish your not new to the forums are you ;p
