That wasn't the point of bringing the stats into the discussion, which is something you would have realized had you read more than 2 paragraphs of conversation. Context is important, my friend. You will notice that I say in this same discussion multiple times how my stats are nothing special and that I'm not even particularly good at the game. Now did you have anything meaningful to contribute to the conversation or were you still busy about the business of making an *** of yourself?
with ASP release engineers have access to Assault Rifles and LMGs, medics get access to Battle Rifles in sidearms slot (the option is now quite viable because old BRs are meh, but new BRs may be really strong). Don't forget about heavy weapons in pockets for Heavies, which means that they can actually take "marksman" LMG in primary slot. This makes the life of sniper infils (taht got nothing of interest from ASP) a bit harder and more exciting.
Oh dear... Alright, well I can see from your other posts on this site that you seem to have a reading comprehension issue, a theory which your inability to even quote the correct number of asterisks in your statement above would seem to support. Furthermore you seem to be rather ignorant about the fact that jumping into the tail end of a thread and quoting a statement massively out of context in an effort to make yourself look clever is, in fact, the very portrait of making an *** of yourself. This suggests either a social disconnect of some sort or the actions of a younger person. Based on your grammar...could be either, really. Finally the fact that you didn't even bother to respond to me by actually quoting me suggests that you didn't expect a response in the first place and were prepared to simply...take potshots at other posters from outside of the thread, in the end contributing nothing and making no impact upon the conversation aside from brief and minor annoyance. Kind of ironic, actually.
I'm quite excited for the new BRs as an infiltrator to be honest. I almost always enjoy taking the AMR out, because even though 9 times out of 10 I feel as though I would be better off pulling a bolt or an SMG, I feel like I have more fun with a good semi-auto. If the new rifles can at least match the old ones in that department with a little faction flavor thrown in, I will be satisfied. On to the subject of other classes gaining viable long-range options, I have the same attitude of acceptance towards that as I do towards light assaults getting battle rifles. The more classes that think they can stand perfectly still 100m back from the fight just because they have a long barrel and a 4x optic the better. The number of battle riflers in game that have the skill to make life difficult for your average sniper main in this game can be counted on one hand.
This thread still goes on . IT STILL GOES ON?!! HOW? WHY? Oh it just ppl with E-d*cks trying to be smart. Kane, dude, I applaud your tireless effort. Please do take care of you health, a migraine might be in your future if you continue. Just get the popcorn out. Snipe some planetmans in the head. P.S. "Diamyo overpowered" Triple lol. I needed to read that over a few times and lie down for a minute.
Cant believe this post is still active... Ive been away from this game for a solid year, hard to get my head around whats new. As for the topic, I cant understand why there is so much hate for the sniper. IF you are outside and get sniped by someone 300m away thats your fault. Sniping requires skill and patience, something i have limited amounts of in both departments. Tried it and died more often than i killed. If you are good enough to pick ppl off at that range then good for you, keep at it. Ive been killed by a few snipers. Not hard to track them down afterwards and return the favour unless they are TOP tieer, in which case you will probably die a couple of times trying to find them. I play Infil at ranges up to a max 80m with scout rifle. Very exciting style of play as you are basically a paper towel waiting to get pissed on. With some practice though you can become very adept. I would be complaining about stalkers more than snipers, and thats saying something. Stalkers are much more of a threat and are capable of much trolling and disruption. I believe its been said a few times already, but just to recap, if you're getting constantly killed by snipers, the problem lies with you, not the game.
Mostly it's Heavy Assaults complaining for getting killed: they are used to be on the top of the infantry food chain. They have overshield, dakka-dakka weapons, they can kill armor and aircrafts, and suddenly a single bullet from an infiltrator ends their "supremacy".
Well to be fair nobody likes getting killed instantly. Especially when the shot came out of nowhere and it at least feels like it can't be defended against. I don't agree, but I do understand the frustration.
Debatable, but irrelevant. The feeling of helplessness and that the death was unavoidable is what frustrates a player. A heavy with a shield can be killed in self-defence, and the significantly longer TTK feels better on the receiving end. A good sniper negates both. It is by the same reason that tank players also hate C4 so much, even if it kills them much less than other vehicles.
I have no problem with the snipers playstyle, I mean It's their own way to have fun. But one thing that bothers me about those snipers is how they able to land headshots even when you're mobile enough. 95% of my playtime in PS2 is with the Light assault class, which is the most mobile class in the game, cause I love It's abilities to fly, but I had many moments where snipers headshot me midlist while I'm FLYING or engaging them at high speed where they should have diffculties even hitting me at any part of my character body. Also, sniper should not be able to hit me easly when I'm moving in general. 70% of my deaths from snipers is when I'm moving, It's obviously not normal. I thought snipers in this game suppose to be a long range stealth killer, not a random ******** Call of Duty OMFG MLG QUICKSCOPE BLAZE IT XDXD OHHHHHHHHH.
You would be surprised what you can hit, when you play a sniper for years... and sometimes its pure luck
It's like when you're in a dumbfiring tank and experience tells you that 200m distance is half way between the first and second crosshair, as a sniper you're not aiming at the head, you're aiming whatever X distance you believe the player will travel during bullet trajectory travel. With the 7x-10x scopes believe it not not it's not actually difficult to pick out that spot, but where the real skill in sniping is, is for that initial zoom to be close enough to the target, otherwise you miss your opportunity of hold breath or have remained stationary for long enough to be counter sniped. Just be thankful they can be sniped unlike tank play where there isn't a hard counter and all you can do really is pull another liberator or a tank and even a heavy with a scout rifle or even assault rifles and long range emg's tend to fair a decent chance a sniper thats revealed their position.
asp for any non-premiumplayer requries 10k certs to unlock .. the ammount of countersnipers with more versatility would be a mere tiny percentage to the overall playerbase ..
bleh just make a new decloak grenade or something thats temp while holding a spot down...that would be the best counter for infiltrators..kinda like what infiltrators have with motion sensor weapon. Best counter..i have won this thread. oh add deaths in your signatures also people.gg.
You didn`t. If you unable to counter clocaked solider with lowest hp and the crappiest wepons in the game that should be your problem.
Unnecessary. At the ranges such a device would be likely to help you the Darklight would be a better option at it requires no resources, no animations, and has unlimited ammunition. I'm sorry, is this the middle school spelling bee where everyone gets ribbons for participating? To serve what purpose? To prove to you that we have died? If we put no deaths would you assume that we have never died?
11 pages, we are still here. For sake of knowing, what class is going to field these grenades, the one that does the exact same thing and has multiple uses? The one the has the motion spotter?
