How many snipers??

[Cain]

I was thinking 3 or 4 per team.

I do like the logic of one per squad which = 4.

Other comments, and thoughts ??

Cobalt, no problemo, your post got dumped because you re-quoted Moose's post with the other server info.

I would vote for 2.
3 would be ok.

No more...please....

4 classes, 16 slots. I say 4 recon.

4 classes, 16 slots. I say 4 recon.

And subtract one because they're so annoying

Hell, I'm all for this limiting snipers. It's not even about snipers being annoying and getting shot from all angles to the point that you can't even spawn without getting shot by a sniper. The annoying part is when your team stays back at the base sniping and you can't snipe them or shoot them because of the base raping rule.

The other annoying part is when you've got people waiting on the chopper to respawn on a certain map. I saw 5 or 6 people waiting on the damn chopper last night. It doesn't take 5 people to fly a chopper.

Anyway back on topic. I think 3 would be plenty. Definitely wouldn't want to have a squad full of snipers lol

I think 1 per squad is not the right logic to use. It's not about them being in an aggressive squad. It's about them being by themselves in another squad altogether. I really hate being in a squad with a sniper perched on a hill if you have to spawn on him.

Plus, snipers rarely spawn on another squadmate in the middle of the fight. They usually just hop on a vehicle by themselves and take off with disregard for anyone else. I've seen it 100 times if I've seen it once. They even use the chopper just to crash it on top of the boat so they can snipe from up there. Or take a humvee/quad and run out on the edge of the map and hide. Annoying as hell. Very selfish players for the most part. I think you get the picture.

I also want to say that not all of them are that way. But the percentage is very low. So I still think 3 per team is plenty. And like I said earlier, if they want to play here they will. If they just play the maps because they are sniper maps, then no big loss. We will gain way more players that appreciate limited snipers then we will ever have to worry about losing because we limit them.

I say again, limiting is not the same as eliminating.Whole different ballgame.

It will take time for word to get out and players to start revisiting the server. So dont get spooked if you think it aint workin. It will take some time.

Trust me.

and Subtract One Because They're So Annoying

+1000


And really, there are options with unlocks to almost be a sniper, long range optical and such.

ROFL.... I like that logic,

[Schultzy]

Actually, as much as I HATE sniper rifles, and HATE getting CG'd...

Limits on things of that nature suck. 'specially when you're trying to plat something. I love snipers that run around with the silenced/semi-auto rifles as "Assault Snipers". The ones that are effective short/medium range? (Not CQB)

To be honest I could deal with 4 snipers per side. As long as it's less than half my team I'm ok with it. My main motivation is to prevent my team from hanging back all the time. We should change the title of the server to limited recon as well right off the bat

+1 The main goal is to get people to stop hanging back and take flags

Not even close. You can actually run from RPGs. And when you don't see them coming it's not much different than being sniped.

Its not wrather or not you can avoid a rocket its the fact that you can sit there and go oh i know there are people in that building shoot one rocket/tube, dang missed shoot second rocket randomly into building KILL. Rocket spam is no different from nade spam just more shots, something those COD idiots never realized back in COD4 when i would run around with the rpg for poo n giggles

Concur with BadHabitz not even close. The ratio of RPG kills on infantry vs. Snipers kills is way out there. Plus the likelyhood of being shot with an RPG across the map is virtually nil. Not so much with a sniper.

But RPG's do root out snipers in bldgs. Gotta love em.

You misunderstand Jack. They are not eliminated. Just limited. Big difference.

What writing of mine were you reading???? I never once said rpgs kill more than sniper rifles. Never once said i was against eliminating im against limiting. Why should we change the way a person plays it doesnt seem fair to me that just because some people dont care for one playing style they completely remove it. And if you can somehow look at this I dont even play sniper that much anymore i play mostly engi or medic. I just seriously dont care for limiting play styles. Also I dont know how you all play but I rarely get sniped maybe once every 5 deaths which is statistically understandable. Most of the snipers are terrible and can only hit you if your standing still or running straight at you.

Well theres my rant. Dont care if you guys agree or not just understand my point of view.

its not about getting sniped PJ, its about the snipers sitting on top of the hills and not doing anything but stare thru the scope waiting for a miracle to happen. the game gets boring quick if one side of the team doesnt do anything but snipe. you cant kill them cause then you'll get killed by baseraping them. its fun for the other team whos mowing them down..but it sucks being the only one or many of the few actually trying to have a fun time capturing.
If they are going to just sit on top of the hill and wait for something to happen.. why not just go play RUSH instead of CONQUEST. Conquest is about capturing/team play. RUSH is a mix of it but mainly killing. since you dont go back and forth capturing one point to the next.

im not ranting at you. but im just saying.. this is the way i see it for snipers who dont do anything but wait for a miracle to happen while their teammates are doing everything for them. Honestly... people who dont team play doesnt deserve to play BF. they should just stick with COD.

Feels good to know you've stopped whinning about guns/perks/advantages that people use. Thank you, COD4.

[Cain]

I think I set this up, and we are now limited to 3 recon per team.
