As a dedicated sniper I heartily agree.
We can do a ton of good hacking points when the fighting is raging someplace else. Plus we get points.
The other team will have to come back to re-hack it (and we can snipe their asses) or their MCCs will get shot up.
Hacking CRUs is also a good way to help the infantry redline the bad guys.
You might lose a clone or two but the risk is well worth the reward.

THIS^^
I am a dedicated sniper too but I always try to help my squad by shooting in to the heart of the action, providing overwatch/ movement intel, hacking points/ CRU as needed. Its rare when I sit still and potshot redberries. The point of a sniper should be to harrass the enemy, create distractions and provide support to the squad/ team through good recon and sniping.
Much more interesting and challenging to move around the map creating chaos. Always feel proud when I get a bunch of people sent after me for being a real nuisance to their efforts. |

A sniper is supposed to be hidden mabye you elite cQc players should do your job and take the objectives and leave us snipers to do ours.
if you want a cQc game go play ambush. skirmish is big map where snipers can make use of the long range.
the point of entering a skirmish match as a sniper is bigger maps to make use of long range weapon. what good is a 400m weapon in a 200m battleground? You want cQc then you go to ambush. you want team tacticle play with long range and short range go to skirmish. you want only 2 snipers on your team go PC. I play a sniper in public matches because that is what i enjoy. I dont play cQc because that is what I don't enjoy. this is a game for enjoyment. you want to enjoy your game with no snipers then join a corp and play PC battles that gives you the choice to boot out snipers. I have to play public with the turbo tanks outrunning swarm missles, AFKers, red-line snipers (my favorite enemy targets because unlike all the babies with all the skill my no skill sniper can kill them),
To the sniping takes no skill crowd then what does that say for you when you cant counter snipe them or find them in the hills and stab them in the back? I know what direction im facing when im shot because I dont just mindlessly run and gun. when im killed im then giving the distance, weapon, suit, and dmg of the person that killed me. I then use that to find snipers all day long. mindless no skill front line mercs dont know what direction they are facing half the time but think they are the all skill players that take so much to be good at. I can stand on the side of a hill an entire match in the wide open and no cover and snipe because I know there are more no skill front line mercs that are not skilled enough to find someone standing on the side of a hill killing them over and over. how skilled they look as a laugh killing them over and over and over and over. so much skill it takes to run and gun and come here and cry about snipers.
THIS TOO^^^

sniper radios to front line merc your screwed. front line merc says why? Sniper says becasue you are all alone and the enemy is coming for you and im going to sit here and watch them kill you and after that i will kill them. lol. Now I like those tactics. I play my game and I dont care about a team that dont care about me. +1 sir. Today I watched a TM running from a squad. He turns a corner and prepares to meet his clone maker and then he witnesses a sniper at there best. As each one of the enemy squad rounds the corner I down them. By the third drop the others give up the chase and leave. To that player I was watching your backside and you are welcome because 5 vs, 1 was not a fair fight. So I evened the odds a bit. You may have not know who I was but a blue is a blue and a red is dead 
And this folks is EXACTLY what a good sniper is/ does. Respect sir! |

Snipers need weapon ballistics (drop off, travel time). Millions of years in the future where there are immortals our snipers still have bullet drop... waaaaaiit wut?
Let me see.....it says in the description that it uses RAILGUN TECHNOLOGY to fire a flechette 2500m. Pretty sure that means zero bullet drop off. Otherwise you may just be defying physics a wee bit.
Get over it. Snipers can kick your arse as can a variety of things in the game like mass drivers, tanks, murder taxis, remote explosives, etc. Everything has a use and will always get abuse/d.
Quit crying and get playing. Its a game for **** sake lol! |

Sorry dude! Guess I should have been less lazy and used the relevant quote
