Gimme the smart all around sniper please. Not degrading conventional sniping at all but rationalizing that kinda playstyle by saying "snipers are supposed to scout, give enemy locations, etc." is silly considering there is a mini map and distance isn't really that much of a factor in this game( you can pretty much see someone from across the entire map without the use of zoom). Snipers shouldn't be forced into that sideline role just like logi's shouldn't be forced into being just glorified medics. |

Hmm... checklist time They keep on the move: not really unless I'm sniped at I usually find good places that cover much of the field lock objectives: yep plant uplinks: nope rather have nanohives, and don't run anything with 2+ equipment slots protect friendlies: I've got thank you mail from saving a dude hidden nanohive: check! ground/counter snipe: sometimes change suits: kinda defeats the purpose of constantly moving
final analysis: close enough |

I dislike when you are on my team, that is all =)
Who the Jack kitten are you to try and tell me how to snipe??
My fav. ways to snipe: drop a militia jeep on an enemy sniper. Melee punch "snipe" to back of enemy sniper head. Sit in front of enemy snipers scope then do a melee kill.
Place remotes around enemy sniper then look up either Dust 514 id or better the PSN id then text them:
DUDE!! look behind you!! Follow with:
DUDE! theres a bad Tech Ohm behind you!!
Final message:
TURN AROUND!!!.
When they do then press L1 for BOOM!!! and +50. |

funny....i think my least favorite attempts mid battlefield are on the tabletop, it's always the mass drivers. You pick off the people on that roof opposite while your team is dealing with closer range targets running around underneath or trying to climb the ladders, then 'BOOM!!' time to switch back to the suit with uplinks because that guy took out three of them trying to hit you. |

Seriously, I countersniped someone (think it was a Thale's user, too) because I could see their nanohive from across the map. Nanohive glows are the first thing I look for when scanning the boundaries of the map. It may suck to have to get up and move over to a hive...but it sure as heck is better than painting a glowing bulls-eye on your clone.
Moving to your hive also helps break the tunnel vision you sometimes get.
Allows you to come back and survey things with a fresh eye. |

Ive done this and saved me a couple of times. I was sniping swarm guys for the tanks in my squad when I ran out of bullets when I turned around to restock there was a heavy/AR about to shoot when I jump down running like hell. Didn't die that match |

Battle starts. 2. Hack whatever turrets/depots/etc. are nearby. 3. Find a direct line of sight to the closest node (or better yet, find one that gives me access to multiple nodes.) 4. Find a reasonable amount of shelter. 5. Drop an ammo nanohive out of sight at a safe distance. 6. Watch the nodes and scan the surroundings for other snipers/scouts/etc. 7. Aim for any node that begins to flash when a hack is being attempted. 8. Pray that I'm not trying to down 3 heavies that all rode in on a murder taxi.

It just so happens that while sometimes they may not be a very good asset to the team, and usually are just a pain in the you know what, today I went into a match with a sniper and I have to admit he was a great part of the reason my team lost. Some people, and by some I mean way less than the number of ppl sniping, really should be sniping. This guy, im sure knows who he is and that im talking about him if he reads this, was so very effective that I would welcome him in my squad any day, and for those jw his score was 30-0.
p.s. I still want to know where you was at skippy....lmfao... =p |

One of the best snipers I have ever gotten into a squad with pulled 28-4-1, again that's working with the sniper. He made me feel inadequate until he pointed out a few things he has trouble pulling off that I could do. On a side to that, whenever I see him on the opposing team, I let him know I'm there with a friendly head shot if he pokes a little too high out of his hiding spot. |
