    why is there so many snipers in this game the majority of games you get into the majority of them do be snipers who sit and do noting when the comm stations do be getting attacked its so annoying the amount of games that are lost all because every one is too lazy to do anything about it :mad: and the other thing them medics who revive you in the middle of a shoot out bullets flying every where and your alive and dead again before you even get to fire your gun and at times there does be a sniper siting there picking you off every time some one revives u over and over again :mad: ahhhhhhh lol its driveing me nuts any one else have a rant they want to share...?

    I am trying my hardest to get into this game but i just cant as you say half your team are straight away snipers so it cuts down the numbers actually fighting which means lots of running around trying to find someone then getting killed by a sniper you couldnt have possibly seen they are so far away.

    I play recon time to time, but I play assault most of the time, and I guess the key is to act like a recon even if you are an assault class - that is, always take cover, and if you had to go into the open to take a base etc, just keep moving in random directions or from cover to cover, which makes it impossible for snipers to pick you out.

    recon
    The battalions of medics with m60's with scopes absolutely wreck my head. I hate the m60 :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,405 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    After the crap i had to put up with in mw2 it doesnt seem so bad,
    If it happens me i usually just leave the squad and look for a new one.

    Recon is the only class i have maxed out yet i try but i hate sniping i equip a riffle on it and run around pew pewing

    Had a game last night half the team where snipers 4 where in tanks/ jeeps and 1 had the copper. That left me the only one actually fighting against you guessed it 2 other guys on the ground and we just got no where you would spawn run a bit get hit by 1 of the 6 snipers and spawn again. Pointless game.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 131 ✭✭anto kerr

    just out of a game there it lasted about 60 seconds like why put me in such a pointless game before i could even get one kill i was taken down within seconds of spawning 4 times its ridiculous

    The thing is with the multiplayer maps in some, if not all cases, is that they're bloody massive! For example play Rush in Africa Harbour as an attacker and you start three miles down the road from the first M-Com station!

    In the big maps the natural tendency of most people is to grab a sniper rifle as it gives you more range & you cover a much bigger part of the map. Since most of the maps are big anyway then the game is bound to be full of snipers.

    Personally I've not played as a sniper yet, I prefer the engineer and the assault classes. I have played a few games (rush mostly) where I spawn, run around a corner and *bang*, sniper gets me. That's irritating but it hasn't happened enough to drive me up the wall yet.

    enemy snipers = me going on long runs = flanking = Knifing = Dog Tags for me :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Leiva


    too many snipers on my team = me getting out tracer dart = shoot it in my snipers head = he cant see properly= stops him camping .:D

    Does that work? I would have said putting up smoke in front of them would be more effective. I tend to find getting a helicopter (because I'm an elite pilot) and parking it in front of them forces them to get in and do some proper work...

    Love it !

    Well i remember when I was having a laugh with some friends that when i you get hit in the face with a tracer dart it keeps flashing in your line of sight .

    I sometimes get infuriated with camping snipers (e.g) we had attackers down to 8 tickets when they managed to plant at a MCOM station .Whilst I was defusing I got wacked , in my kill cam their was one of our camping snipers at the top of the stairs (arica harbour /2 stage /bravo) still sniping whist at the bottom of the steps the MCOM bomb went off ??
    I am sure the neighbors heard me screaming .

    As i said before ...why do 99% of Recon think they are Snipers ?

    Smoke is underrated , if your team is getting Sniped get a Assault Class to do nothing but sit and keep smoking a particular area , and keep resupply themselves .

    I have noticed a big increase in new/crappy players :/ Nevermind Recon being lazy, I've found that alot of players, nomatter their class, play Rush like Deathmatch and put little to no effort into disarming bombs...

    Another thing, other than the Blackhawk (I think its called) the other Helicopters are overpowered. Well in the hands of a decent pilot anyway. If you don't hit with a rocket launcher or tank turret, which you should never be able to do against a good pilot, you won't stop it. Another thing is when the rest/most of your team will ignore it even though they keep getting killed by it. I'm running around as an Engineer trying to shoot it down alone while the rest waste reinforcements...

    Had one gimp in MAG doing something similar 3 guys up in a tower cutting us apart every time we rounded a corner so after them killing 2 or 3 waves of us i whip out the sniper rifle start picking them off. Next thing some dope is standing in front of me telling me to stop camping that he hates people that camp and that we need to keep pushing up (even though everyone was getting cut apart doing that) i had 2 out of the 3 down and my own guy team kills me. Saying that he warned me about camping and that i should play it properly. I calmly explained to him that he was a retard and that everyone was getting killed following his orders running around that same corner all the time and that they had to be cleared out of the tower. I was still on the ground so i could see him running away as he was telling me that i was wrong that his tactic was the way to go he ran around the same corner and got shot down for the 4th time.

    Ive no real problem with snipers as in a balanced team they can make the difference its just that battlefield isnt big enough for 2 snipers on each team never mind 5 or 6.

    What a moron. Tell him to join the army and get a clue about tactics. Run and gunning as a sniper isn't playing "properly". Thats not your role, thats what a loner would do. MAG isn't MW2...

    and the thing is i wasnt a sniper at all during the game it was just after getting pinned down by the guys in the tower i had to swapmy load out as we couldnt get near them.

    Good Sniping is a great bonus to have in any game .
    I dont know much about MAG , but in BFBC2 there is plenty to do in the Recon class (Spotting , Mortor , communicate etc etc) but these same campers I was on about earlier do none of the above .
    You could be in a game with 8 sniping yet not one is spotting , or have headsets to communicate .
    Sitting beside a armed bomb and doing nothing is just wrong , regardless of class.

    Yeah, Recon mortar is great to take out charges in Rush mode - you need a clear line of sight to the the enemy base and you are business!

    I see one of the recon weapons at the end has a 'sniper sensor'? This could get interesting, because all recons will have enemy recons on their case straightaway...!

    Tuesday evening, I was defending Varparaiso (sp?) in rush mode with random strangers, and the other team was extremely well coordinated, and they took out three bases in like 2 minutes. On the fourth base, we took our stance, and I got the machine gun by the window near Station B (if anyone remember that map). When the slaughter began, it was great fun spotting and popping people, and I think I shot down their chopper thrice and UAVs twice! By the time we won, I had two 6 kill-streaks and I was killed just once!

    I love this game (when everything goes right..!)! :D
