A Message for Recon Snipers

[SIR Rossy]

i see that my post has attracted quite a bit of attention lol.....this was supposed to be funny and sincere but i agree, force a % ratio to limit them but also agree that something needs to be done....yesterday night when i played with rossy and some others we were defending.....on that desert one where each side had 2 tanks and wow i didnt know i could sit on defense for almost a half hour and them still have 40 tickets left

Yeah that was ridiculous we sat there for like half an hour and nothing was happing because the friken enemy team was SNIPERS all there that was happening was bullets wizzing past and no action most out team went on the hill and took out the "unaware" stupid snipers but the idiots just come back as snipers again.... took forever to win on isla inoccents and arica harbour 'so many snipers i agree a rule should be made about how many snipers are allowed eg: one sniper per squad because thats how is supossed to be a sqaud is ment to be "1 sniper 1 engineer 1 medic and 1 assualt you could own with that sort of sqaud because thats how the game is designed to work

So i guess the answer is limited scopes on a server. 3 each team with a full server would benifit the server greatly. I think admins just need to start enforcing it or kick. Maby have some of the members make binds of it and flash it every now and them to get the memo around.

how does that make any sense to have 3 to a team when there can be 16 people on a team thats not even fair/even. Plus what if a guy is using the wookie suit for cover but is using the tompson or shotguns(no slugs)

Um.. if it was up to me. I'd nerf the class. I'm surprised someone somewhere hasnt done it in some server someplace. If you did. It would stay full 24/7 guaranteed. Think about it seriously. Being able to get around without worrying about getting blasted from downtown. And dont tell me thats the purpose. Like D & G said, they are basically useless on an attack squad.

oh yes nerf snipers when only 3 of the guns are one shot kills and only 1 is always without mag ammo, and the m60/shotty slugs/akban are all also 1-2 shot kills. No matter what you do your gonna get picked off from across the map; i do it with the m416 now(really starting to like the gun), and honestly sniping in this game is not as bad as it was in DODS where you could snipe from hip fire cross map(cheeser....)

And what is your guys definition of sniper because if its someone who uses the sniper rifle then your all offending me as im ALMOST never sitting way back picking off stragles i run in full offense with the sv98 or m24 all the time. I might start using the carl so you all can have something else to complain about, because obviously snipers are the only thing on your guys minds(as this is like the 5th post thats about snipers or complains about snipers)

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

im not complaining about the people that do stuff, like the people at cains lair....im talking about the trash that fills the server so the whole match last longer then an hour because of people running as far back as possible and not doing anything to help out. when i snipe i plant my crosshair at an objective that we are either taking or defending....profit???

If a sniping team was "easy kills" then everyone here would have 3 to 1 k/d ratios.

[Queen B]

Well when I start dying a lot I go sniping when I'm attacking, because I don't wanna contribute to the loss of tickets of the team, due to my inability to play. I agree with PJ, I don't think that you should limit the number of snipers, besides I have seen "attack" snipers who rock. Besides, what if 3 really bad snipers get in and you lose a very good sniper D: idk lol. I have problems with medics who don't give medkits and don't ress. What's your point in playing then?

[lady-MGS]

There are servers that only allow a few snipers at a time. I have no idea if it's a server setting or admin enforced though.

[Dead_And_Gone]

I have no objections to snipers that are basically assault wookies. They go after MCOMs, clear out buildings, knife people, ... ... ... Wookies CAN be any class, not counting their offerings initially, for instance can pick up anyone's kit and be intant medic with a wookie look.

I have seen entire squads of wookies with everything BUT sniper rifles. Looks funny but it WORKS.

The complaint is (ValParaiso comes to mind) where one sniper I observed was sitting on a ledge on their first conquered MCOM area. Lighthouse was the next assault. We were defending the Mcom's AFTER that before it goes into the jungle. So basically he was in another county from us, sniping us in our spawn.

Using exploits, untouchable, incredible K/D's, I know it is very enticing for many.

Not to say Recon/Snipers are the only one's who show a lack of team work. I saw an Engy running AWAY from a flashing MCOM, because they apparently didn't want to risk dying from someone targeting it.

[Dead...Again]

I agree with a lot of the complaints. However, it is possible to be an effective "assault" sniper if you use one of the semi auto or automatic sniper rifles. I especially like the two silenced guns.

[mapes]

I generally agree with the assault snipers. I also agree with tactically minded normal snipers that deny the enemy the ability to defuse. What really gets my goat is when I'm attacking and attacking and attacking and dying tons and then by some miracle I get the M-COM set. Those snipers do nothing to stop it from being defused. I could understand it if we had like three snipers but, no 45% of my team are snipers. Plain and simple they are not doing their job. I have tendency to kinda loose it and start lobing smoke nades at my fellow snipers hides.

I did experience an incredible display of non teamwork from a sniper. It was the map with the light house. We were attackers. At the start of the round a bunch of us jump in the chopper. The pilot takes off then bails without warning to get into the tree canopy position. He didn't even tell us. A full chopper of people killed. sigh

I had that happen to me before. What wost is when the sniper gets on the heli and takes off with out anyone only to land the heli on that huge cliff. I had another time where I respawn back at base and jump in the heli with a sniper flying it to only land on that same cliff and when I got out, I found maybe 4 or 5 snipers up there. I was so ticked off that I commited suided with the heli and went into recon class. I respawned, got into a position and mortar those idiots. Got a few team kills but it was worth it.

When attacking i am playing sniper 80% of the time but i am equipped with 6 C4 and G3 So i cant really be called sniper i guess?

Ive done the same to 1 or 2 completely worthless snipers when i was really pissed off, except i use smoke nades.

THOUGH Mapes pulled the same thing on me last night when i was shooting CGs at M-com A second spawn on laguna. I about had it dead and we had about 8 tickets left. He decided to intentionally smoke nade me. I moved up to get out of it then got picked off by a sniper

I've done that once

Stuff like that really burns me up. IMO someone who gets caught taking the helo just so they can get the primo sniper spot should be banned from the server.

[{CLR} Cobalt]

I've been on other servers that snipers got kicked if they stayed in an area too long. Or if the admins thought they weren't contributing. It fairly obvious who's doing what in a game. If you're half way observant.

I still think it should be nerfed. Like I said in the other post. There are more people that would be happy if the class was nerfed than the few that would be cryin like little girls. Look at my recon scores. After playing that class I felt dirty. Was just about useless in my book. And I wont play it anymore. Basically spineless when it comes to the rest of us. Gotta keep that K/D ratio up there though, and look good at the end of the round. No matter that your team just got beat all to hell because the 4 guys in 1 squad were trying to do all the work.

Yep, I'd nerf it all the way.
