I think you suck.

I dislike when you are on my team, that is all =)

Interesting, all of sudden I want to shoot him

other snipers arnt THAT bad

unless they dont provide cover fire, fail to communicate with the team, or decide to sit right next to me and snipe after droping a giant glowing nanohive right on top of me....

ok most of them suck

if you mean me, feel free to try.

Get off my hill- you aren't even aiming in a relevant direction. And TRY to put your nanohive on the other side of the crest or something.

Seriously, I countersniped someone (think it was a Thale's user, too) because I could see their nanohive from across the map.

I think you suck.

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.

On the other hand, the dumbasses that sit a short distance away, drop a nanohive right where they are shooting from, and then spam shots at the enemy are a great early warning device for nova knifers and counter snipers

Confidence is the key to success in anything you do so just curious, not trolling, you consider yourself top 5?10?50? Do you prefer to snipe over any other role? Do you prefer to snipe in most games you play?

I don't like it when I'm sniping in all proto gear and then some nubelet decides to try out a militia sniper and dumps literally 3+ nano hives and gets all of his militia buddies to come over and give away my position :(

Bye bye 150,000 isk

if i'm the best it's due to no contest, I've only ever seen one other sniper capable/willing to ground snipe and I don't even remember his name, everyone else is a high ground/red line sniper, or some assault who thinks a militia rifle is good enough.

I've heard stories of other snipers that can ground snipe but I've never had the pleasure of meeting them.

don't get me wrong their are plenty of people that can line up a shot quickly, and do a pretty good job sniping, but if you can only do that while 400 meters away in a hill, then you are only decent at the smallest part of the role.

ground sniping is situational, its plain fact that having a high vantage point lets you get a better read of the battlefeild and thus not only get more kills but be able to actualy cover/ scout for your squad. im not saying ground sniping dosent have some merit and most the people sniping on ridges are just there to kill farm, but just because your less safe on the ground dosent mean that your doing your job any better.

While we're at it, this is not Call of Duty. Stop trying to quick scope me and contribute to your team, it's embarrassing, and I will laugh at you profusely if you do so.

And finally the Smart Sniper (5% of snipers )- they keep on the move, lock objectives , plant uplinks , protect their squad or any friendly in trouble, never stay close to their nanohive or hide it, isn't afraid to go ground snipe when necesary and counter snipe troublesome snipers and when damage has been done they change dropsuits leaving the other team looking for him the hole match.

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

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.

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.

All I ask is that they at least kill people that are taking objectives, but most are too lazy to even position themselves to do that.

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
