vulcan_sniper Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hahah, finally, someone who understands! No matter what people say, its not Nooby, it is strategy! To be able to hide, remain un-seen, and pick off the wandering player with a well placed headshot takes time and practice. What people say about the sniper being to well equipped is stupid. The recon droid does barely any damage, so i dont really count that as a weapon. Ill be using it as a scout to find targets before they arrive with you unprepared. Being able to disguise yourself as a stormtrooper isnt unfair, when you cant shoot without giving away your position, its cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone_Fighter Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I know... To get a headshot is fricken difficult.. When they move its nearly impossible. If they stand still, their as good as dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 snipin', now that's my style! No matter what people say, as long as it ain't spawncamping, I say it's perfectly legal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 It's my belief that there are no "noob" tactics there are some easy tactics compared to some harder ones, some just are easier than others. I prefer not to snipe though, snipers don't scare me, If they shoot at me and miss I know where they are if they don't I'll find them eventualy.

Mountainforest Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I wouldn't see why sniping would be illegal. Golden rule in these games is: Keep moving. If you don't follow that rule, you're dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOP Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Snipers are the heart of an advancing front. They can make...or break the capture of points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clone_Fighter Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Yeah, but not always. But often I just stand behind my guys running at the enemy, and hit me some stormtroopers, while they are busy with other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOP Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Snipers are normally the scouts of a moving front. Moving before the front and finding locations of enemies. Then...once the front arrives the snipers (from strategic defensive positions) aid the advancing troops in keeping the enemy pinned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragnarr Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think you are confusing snipers as scouts. They have pretty bad short range weaponry so there's no reason for a sniper to run at the front and just getting shot at. Sniper is mainly a defensive weapon, but can be used in assault aswell mainly taking out defensive positions such as turrets so that the assault units can capture the flag. And in so many games sniping counts as laming, CS, Savage etc. I think so far it sounds its done pretty well in Battlefront, though there still will be people who yell "lucker" when you get a headshot. It's good that in Battlefront there's actually a counter to snipers so it isn't that bad especially when it takes 2 shots, but we shall see. I most certainly will practice sniping and well I expect lots of swearing from my enemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopknacker Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Its funner to kill a sniper, IMO. When they think they are hiding then you take out your trusty stabbing weapon. Sneak up behind them and let em have it. I think that only two snipers should be allowed at one time. But if what they say is true and that is that the artillery will be AI and not from a vechile like BF42 then the sniper will be very effective.

I don't think there should be a limit to the number of snipers in the game. If you have to much of them they probably won't win. Snipers aren meant to take over checkpoints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have pretty bad short range weaponry so there's no reason for a sniper to run at the front and just getting shot at. I think you're getting confused too. When people say "snipers as scouts" it means more like recon, not scout. As in the sniper goes infront of the front, and uses his scope to check out the enemy positions, not running right into them.

All_Mighty_Ewok Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I just hope this game will be 'sniper friendly', as in there will be plenty of places to hide, and spots that overlook key areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler_Durden Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 The only bad thing about being a sniper in this game is the fact that the enemy can pinpoint your position with the radar and easily take you out. Kind of defeats the point of being a sniper unless the opposing team can't see you on radar. I think the radar in the game should be like battlefield vietnam where you do have a working radar but you can only see your teammates and unmanned vehicles as well as vehicles currently being used by your team. Makes for much more interesting and strategic combat. Hopefully there's an option for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't move, you're unvisible on radar, so snipers won't be seen. On the other hand, if you see a enemy disapearing on radar and not coming back, you know what's happening... I just hope that the 'look like a stormtrooper' trick of the rebel scout ALSO affects the radar. Otherwise it's useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 first i thought; "radar. Takes away: sneaking+ambushes, takes away camping" but instead it promotes camping. bad radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
