In MAG, we could team-kill redline / MCC equivalent snipers. This often solved the problem. Equiping a sniper rifle makes you vulnerable to friendly fire in all game modes. Problem solved.

Or, make a decent FPS and take them out all together. Snipers DO NOT help their teams. For every froum hero sniper who thinks they are winning the game with their "intel" and "tactical support" you're not. You are deluding yourself. Maybe in the entire community there are one or two such demi gods, but no, you're not. You just aren't. You are a waste of space and should be ashamed. Let me knife you when I know you're being terrible or get in the fight where you can actually help. And give us real ranges on our weapons. Muskets can fire further than current Dust ARs (not as accurately, but further all the same). Make me acocunt for drop and drift and all that, but use real bullet distances or write a SUPER convincing fluff piece about why they wont travel more than 100 yards.

Love all the stats.. 95% this, 20% that. quit making up numbers and just state your opinions and move on.

I love sniping, started a few weeks ago... never sit in the redline but I definetely like to perch myself up where only a dropship can come get me. Eff your nova knives :)

I was surprised at how inexpensive the charge rifle is. It doesnt do too well taking out proto suits, but it certainly is a newb slayer.

And if you **** me off, I will bring out my proto forge gun to crush some ants :)

I can say I hate 95% of all snipers it's my percentage >.<

Your post is full of fail. You know nothing and again what is up with you forum warriors (yes I am pointing at you Fearless Speech) who make up statistics like its your job? Do you have a spreadsheet with all the snipers in this game to provide evidence of your "one or two demigod" claim? Who are these demi-gods, and is there a website where I can sign up to worship them?

I have locked down entire sections of a map, covered a panel and prevented several hack attempts, provided an elevated uplink with nanohives for my teammates to spawn in, called out tanks and infantry movement, went 22-1 kdr (1 death came from me suiciding out of my nest fitting after I landed MY dropship that I called in to get there), top in war points, victory... yet I am not helping my team?

effing tool

Because the SP costs of "adapting" are ridiculous, not all of us have 10mil+ SP.

Short on time?

Short on skill?

Please remember suicide in public areas is strictly prohibited.

Then maybe you're the one good one. Congrats. You are not worth the drain on the community the rest of the snipers present. I don't need to "make up statisitcs" to state that MOST snipers are USELESS. Everyone knows this. This is why most peopel don't rage that mucha bout enemey snipers: we know they aren't helping their teams. If your'e doing so well, you won't get team killed, you aren't impacted by this change.

EDIT: Or we can make it 100% Fair. All targets behind redline are freindly-fire eligible. Then its not just sniper terribads getting offed.

You kind of contradict yourself in this post. If redline snipers are useless, nobody rages about them and they arent helping their team that is a good thing if you are on the team opposing them right?... so why the need for redline team killing? In a random pub match, there would be equal chances of these so-called useless snipers being on both sides.

You honestly think by adding a team killing element in the red line it would help this game progress? Do you know how much griefing would take place in this game if that were to happen? Friendly Fire is active in PC battles to add an element of difficulty. This works primarily because PC is run by a group of people who are out to win without the worry of griefing. Awox'ing aside, it works there... but definetley would not work in a random pub matches. Human nature and anonymity are the cause, some people just want to watch the world burn.

People do rage about getting sniped. I would venture a guess that THE MOST rage comes from being killed by a sniper (aside from DTAC QQ) at least from my personal observations. Why? Because they are difficult to counter unless you have a good sniper on your team or other strategies in place to take them out. I am not surprised by these types of post, when people cant figure out how to counter something they generally scream nerf.
