So...

What happened to this game being against use of snipers, because half the time half of the other enemy team has trapped us in our spawn with snipers alone. It’s been really pissing me off lately, ruining my game.

Not to mention the game breaking bugs my game is experiencing, just keeps adding on to the hate list. I was so hyped for this game, got 3 of my friends to buy it, only to have my dream crushed with a buggy horrible release, only 1 update so far and that managed to break my game even more. Sure it might be fixed in the future, but as of right now, I am not happy with this SD, I expected better from you.

Getting camped to death by snipers happens quite often, especially on the indoor mall-like map where you need to escort the vehicle, blow up bridges and hack the terminal right next to the security spawn point.

I’ve seen a lot of snipers in this game.

Yeah, i must admit that map leaves open a huge spawn-camping opportunity for the Resistance where the Security have to drop down out of the spawn zone into the line of sight of a couple of snipers. But that seems to be the only map I’ve noticed this problem.

The developers where against it, and against the 1 shot snipers in CoD(you need to headshot in this at least). They cant stop people from using them, though I suppose they could have just left them out of the game.

What platform? Because on XBox… whenever there are snipers… they just have sniper battles, that literally do nothing. My friends and I usually win, but we lost tonight, because they were doing counter-sniper operations with 1 sniper, and kept acting like they were doing something… Snipers are almost useless on the 360, especially considering NO sniper, can efficiently hit a light…

I’ve not once run into this issue.

If must be something about the hats you wear.

ehm yeah, I think I was killed by a sinper once so far? cant remember. But I have often seen Sniper but I usually dont care and get the obj done. I think there are only very few spots were a sniper is actually useful.
However if you get camped down at your spawn by snipers you are doing something wrong. For me as a PC player it wouldnt be a problem to clear those out if they really were a problem.

I started off with the 360 version, but traded it in for the PC version (which is a story for another time).

A full match in both, usually turns into a sniper match, from what Ive seen. I agree, their useless, but I could easily hit a light on the 360, and the same for PC.

The only time Ive really seen a use for the sniper, is defense on Resort. You can spawn lock resistance from the supply post, and they will usually go sniper to counter, and thats usually an easy win for security.

That’s a very sweeping statement that I have to disagree with. I find the sniping pretty easy (but still satisfying) in this game compared to a game like Battlefield, since the rifles are hitscan and you can turn the sensitivity up pretty high. The thing that people should realise about sniping is that it’s highly situational and fairly easy to counter by avoiding their sight lines and flanking them (or in the rare occasion that you can’t do this, quickly switching to the rifle and countersniping them).

There are a few places where snipers can be really useful, like the corridor that the escort travels down towards the bar in Aquarium. It seems like it should all be CQC but having a sniper support the team pushing into there is great. That spot above the first attack objective in C.CIty is great for the defenders as well. They are very situational though and if you use a rifle for the whole match you’re probably a burden on the team.

I really only see snipers work effectively on that map. Other maps there might be one guy trying to snipe but ineffectively most of the time.

I still haven’t figured out how to be successful on offense on that map. Its the hack objective. It takes so long to hack. There’s such a big kill zone around the big tree or statue in the middle of the square. Getting a disguise often works, but I get it maybe 5% hacked before the defense collapses on me and then the reverses my hack in about 2 seconds.
