BF2S Forums Everyone hates snipers

snipers seriously fuck me off that's why I've started playing sniper and I'm pretty good at it now, bluddy snipers.

It's not very harmful to the team when only a couple of your teammates are sniping...

But when you're playing rush or something, and you're on the attackers team, the last thing you want is everyone sitting on an island sniping and you + 1 other guy the only ones attacking M-Coms.

C'mon snipers... Once you realize there's enough of you, can't you split up a bit and give us gunnies a hand?

Other than that I like snipers. I like sniping. But there's a time for sniping and a time for assaulting the enemies base!

Sniper occasionally. For the most part I enjoy using recon and getting into combat though. Shotgun + motion sensors seems to be more helpful when capping a flag than camping as a sniper and not doing shit to help my squad or team. But I really don't mind snipers, not unless my whole team is snipers, which usually only happens when we've been raped and are now getting base raped. I certainly don't mind snipers on the other team since they're so predictable it's fairly easy to just go on the outskirts of a map and kill them from behind.

I like Panama Canal for the simple fact that once I get sniped I know to go to the trees for easy knife kills. I make it a point to sweep the trees once per round and usually end up with about 3 dogtags

The fact that a lot of snipers hardly use anything other than their sniper or pistol. They have Mortar strike and Motion ball but they rarely use it. That's why I hate snipers, they could easily wipe out most M-Com stations that are inside a building.

They have C4, too.

Man I hate mortar. I never use it. C4 is way more useful and a shitload more fun. The only reason Mortar is so popular is it's so effective.. another cheap tactic in this game..

I've tried mortar once, ran into 3 tanks I could have C4ed, they all drove away before my mortar hit. What a spammy piece of shit.

Not to mention C4 is awesome for throwing into enemy attics

It always falls back down on me

i dont mind being killed by a sniper, its part of the game

I do hate snipers that are on my team that do not assist their team mates,

I am talking about team mates who have end up with 1 or 2 kills for the whole round and do nothing but camp in a bush in their own uncap
they do not rush during rush mode or cap points during conquest, completely useless players IMO.

Now if a sniper in my squad finds a nice little camping spot half way across the map that i can spawn on and grab flags,coms faster is a good but to just sit there in your own uncap shooting at guys on the other side of the map and missing is stupid and makes me want to tk them.
