Stop hiding in the mountains and take control of the points!

I would never expect snipers if the entirely team is losing when all points are captured and are losing terribly!

I think it should be clear to the other team that they wouldn't be credit if the team loses to the point where snipers are looking for target practice, go play an ambush match if you are looking for target practice!

It's funny but I would say that if I'm playing Skirmish because I want to take control of points and win, I would expect people to take over points and hold those points or to re-capture those points and to get help the team. Not camp and wait for the magic to have the tide change and have the other members of the team getting killed or trying to find ways to take control of the points!

Not only that, I also think they're losing because there like 6 to 8 players (half of the entire team) who are being snipers!, What's the point of entering a skirmish match then?

... and I do think people are abusing it. It's simple, take over the points and win the match!

A few things:

First of all, snipers do not have skills in any other thing then sniping, they are fragile and are not suited to take over points.
Game mechanics is not allowing to take stealthily the good spots in the middle of the map when enemy team have all of the points, as soon as you order DS you are dead-sniper.
Ambush matches are not for snipers - when your target if focused on taking objective he act differently from guy who want to kill you.
Bugs prevent us from successfully defending skirmish objectives, occasionally we have to deal with immortal hacker that get none dmg or we have to deal with infantry that melt with the objective texture, or simply invisible people, low-frame rate runners that teleports.
Match-making system works fine, if you have 6 snipers in the team, opposite side have snipers to.

There is no such thing as a good sniper or any skill involved in sniping in this game. You went 5/0 with 200 WPs great round sniper.
