Love the Lair, the game is fun, but... snipers

[BigTwinky]

Yeah someone was saying we should get Arica Harbor as a map, but I played on a server with that map. Nothing and I mean nothing, but snipers camping the uncap waiting for you to get out of spawn so they can snipe you. Got extremely boring. I don't understand sniping at all. You sit in a position not moving for about 5 minutes or more waiting on someone to show up so you can shoot them.

You don't get the excitement of explosions going off around you, tanks coming up on you and just wreaking havoc. I'd say we start darting the snipers on our teams. lol

Sniping can be really fun, map depending. There is a thrill to getting into the right position / spot and then getting a few key flag defenses or what not with no one seeing you. Or running down a tank to C4 him.

It's unfortunately an easy way to play and not rely on a squad, people can be "solo", which kind of defeats the purpose of the game imo.

rofl... so s'all good when your on the same team, spawning on the uncap guy, stealing vehicles...but when your on the enemy team and you go boom, then it's not cool. Gotcha.

How often have I spawned on the uncap guy? Was it once? I bail when I see the vehicles heading that way now...before I was naive and didn't think folks went there time and again.

I can remember quite a few times in the last few weeks

On some maps, where the chopper is critical, keeping it down is strategy. Not hard to check for C4 before taking off, there is a flashing red light. And not many places to hide either. Although I do prefer the drop the C4 and get out of there, but that's me

It was funny when you blew DnG and me up last night...totally caught me off guard.

That was the point. Im lucky if i get 2 blow ups in a whole round. Far from raping, but slows the enemy down

Try playing a sniper like me its much more fun being a run n gun sniper

But even 2 will P folks off, especially if your squad is spawning on you there (I've heard it, being on other team). Just sayin.

This is why I promote a Vanilla rush server = much better than HC Conquest.

Sniping is only 1 shot with headshots.... shotguns are amazing..... knifing is easy

re-suggesting this maybe 2 snipers per server with these settings

I don't mind being sniped by the opposing team. My only issue is when half of my team is snipers and they're hanging way back...

Snipers rate right up there with hemorrhoids.

I think there is an issue with setting the max amount of any class and keeping the rankings with the server.

I remember back in the DOD and DOD:S days, limits were set on the specialty classes, which was great for the game flow.

Im like most folks, I silently rage to myself after running 300 meters to finally arrive at a flag only to be met with a sniper round coming from wherever. BUT I dont cry and I dont complain because who am I to judge how someone else enjoys this game? If they enjoy playing that class more power to them, now and again I enjoy it as well. So personally I think limiting snipers is the wrong thing to do.

my new method of combatting snipers on helocopter maps.... put c4 all over chopper, get in chopper, fly into sniper, jump out and detonate.

Overkill i know... but satisfying

Much easier to just get in amongst them and shoot them in the back or knife.
