Though I'll give you creativity points for trying to couch it in terms of the gear as opposed to tactics. I don't hate snipers, I've played with awesome snipers who shut down objectives and call out enemy positions. My only problem with them is that there is little risk to being a sniper because they are so cheap compared to other infantry weapons. My sniper build is the same price as my ar build so I wouldnt say they are cheap

Proto pack requires you to have friends playing with you, coordinating. Bringing friends SHOULD multiply your power. Sniping is sitting alone on a hill, moving the crosshair and shooting, doing enough damage to kill anything that isn't a heavy in 1-2 shots. Also, each pack hunter needs to bring his own expensive gear. A full squad of those can go up to 1.2million in ISK if everyone in the squad dies ONCE.

Sorry Nova but I not leaving STB, you're to way to good to be playing with those no life tryhards. You shoulda stayed in STB.

The point was safety. Pack hunting makes it safer for an individual, at a greater risk of ISK. Sniping is already safe, no matter if you have one or 1000 people with you. Your entire argument is invalid.

Your entire argument is invalid. no your point is sniping can be safe, if you sit in the hills yes it can be safe, if you snipe about 3 meters behind your AR buddies to help themm win long range engagements, it isn't as safe. if you are facing a good sniper on the other team it isn't safe, if someone has a hard on for rushing you with lav's it isn't safe.

Putting your sniper 3m away from the enemy is called stupidity. If the person using it has half a brain, he would know how to use it for its intended usage, and that is sniping from a hill being extremely safe.

I'd be happy to snipe you as many times in a row as you think you can find a safe spot in the hills to just sit around and twiddle your thumbs.
Finn Kempers BetaMax. CRONOS. 236	Posted - 2013.06.03 20:44:00 - [42] - Quote We all seem to be assuming that a 'pro' sniper hides in the MCC or up in the hills. Surely a good sniper is the one that runs with your squad. I was that for a year until the last respec, scrapping it for combat rifle. The risk reward for snipers isnt crap, its the risk reward for pussies who hide away from the TAC AR because thats the only range a weapon aimed for close quarter warfare annihilate them. Be considerate before QQ'ing. Yes I hate snipers. Rather, I hate sniper damage, it should be nerfed, coming from a long time sniper. Nerf it and we are all happy. Right? RIGHT?!!
