Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Kids who snipe in this game are such losers. I have yet to play with someone who sniped and was remotely helpful in helping his squad. I disagree with this. Snipers job is to kill the enemy at long ranges. They fit in every aspect of any game mode on here. A strategically placed squad beacon is extremely useful, especially if your trying to hold down a certain area of the map for the advantage, or if its located behind enemy lines or near where they are setting up. It allows your team to spawn behind them and flank, etc. Or continue to hold your ground. Same thing with the radar beacons that show enemies on the mini-map. If you run team deathmatch or squad deathmatch, their job is to kill the enemy, thats it, so if they are doing it, shouldn't be a problem. If the game is conquest, rush, etc. and they take to high ground/bushes/etc. and start picking off the enemy approaching while you are defending along with well placed beacons, how are they not valuable? If you are rushing and on offense, and they are sitting back, picking off the enemy and creating holes for you to go through to get closer to the objective, and happen to get a spawn beacon tucked somewhere behind enemy lines where the enemy doesn't see it (at least for a while, until they discover it), how are they not an asset? If you want to say they are cheap in hardcore cause a shot to the foot 400m away kills you, then yeah, you win that argument. Gotta take the good with the bad though. All classes are valuable and of asset, if the player plays the class like its meant to be played. My favorite class is recon, I have no shame dropping you across the map. Just like I have no shame taking one out with the UTS-15 with any class. I know your post was general, not attacking anyone on here. And snipers are extremely vulnerable once you know where they are. You can respawn as one, pick them off across the map. Or you can sneak around the outskirts and get behind them and knife or blast them. While we are looking around for prey to pick off, we zoom in and out repeatedly, and if we are zoomed in, we don't see anything behind us and our peripheral vision is limited too.

No Excuses Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 What you are describing is the ideal way they should play. However, I'd say about 99% of the kids who snipe in this game are selfish jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the support guy beside you that won't drop an ammo box. The engineer is worthless unless you're playing with vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 yeah man, I'm not a fan of snipers at all. As my man Taze said, the 1% of snipers who play aggressively and/or advance towards objectives and help the mission, I'm all for. But most snipers are lone wolves who zoom in from 500 meters away with their 12x scope and contribute nothing to the cause. As a diehard tryhard, these people annoy the hech out of me.

mark327 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah, but so are 99% of the people that play assault and never revive you. Or the support guy beside you that won't drop an ammo box. The engineer is worthless unless you're playing with vehicles. Everything you have said is spot on . Can't argue it, but I still hate snipers ! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdrums Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I love snipers. They taste like chicken. _____________ For real, though, sniping is probably the least important thing Recon does. There's virtually no instance where sitting still and scoping in is helpful to yourself or the team. A recon with any weapon besides a sniper rifle can be a game-changer in any mode. It is *extremely* rare, however, that a recon who only snipes the entire map has an appreciable outcome on the game. There are a couple of maps where I'll switch to a sniper rifle to clean off the rooftops in TDM, but I immediately switch back to my Assault DMR loadout. If they'd bring back the BFBC2 mortar strike, I might snipe more in Rush, at least when attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 hell yeah A recon with any weapon besides a sniper rifle can be a game-changer in any mode. hell yeah, man. anytime I play as recon (which is rare), its nothing but a shotgun, spawn beacon, and motion sensor. rush the enemies, kill them all. I think I have three kills total with all the sniper rifles LOL. And those were for weapon unlock challenges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Apparently they fixed whatever needed fixing on the One, NA has been available since earlier this evening. I'm downloading now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 You have any luck ST? I downloaded it last night but was unable to play it. Whenever i will try to join a server it would say i needed to download the DLC...Just like what happened when SA was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever i will try to join a server it would say i needed to download the DLC...Just like what happened when SA was released. I had no trouble. Got in fine on my first try. A little lag here and there, but not too bad at all. Amd carrier assaulf is an awesome game mode. So much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTViper Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Carrier assault Is a good game type idea. It was good fun playing last night. Why must 98% of the battlefield community be absolutely terrible at the game? Sniper rifles are near useless and a terrible idea when in comes to actually winning. 99.9% of the time there is something more useful you could be doing than trying to snipe kids. The only good thing about that class is the spawn beacon. You pretty much NEVER see any of the pros using a sniper rifle in any competitive battlefield match.

CRobi21 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ^^^ My biggest issue with BF as well. Clueless morons. Seems like the bigger the game got, the more idiots it attracted. And it seems like i always get stuck on the same team lol. For real, I could live with the techinical issues thats wrong with the game, just get rid of the idiots. Id be happy.

CRobi21 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Finally got all the multiplayer unlocks done. All the weapons, vehicle unlocks, and gadgets/kits unlocks. Unlocked most of them just playing regularly, but have been using the things I normally don't just to unlock everything. Those xp boosts you unlock from battlepacks helped alot. Especially for the PDWs, those things are pieces of ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 ya, i hate the pdws. ive been sniper hunting lately, tons of fun. put a claymore behind them, then shoot em in the foot. they get up to turn around....boom. then teabag em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 How do you guys like the Naval Strike/Carrier Attack mode?I think its really fun. The maps are cool and I like playing Carrier Attack as much as Conquest. The end battles are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Not sure if I should get premium or not. Seems like no one is playing plain BF4 anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I got premium and I'm happy with the purchase. The naval strike pack and carrier assault mode is by far my favorite. I've played more in the past month than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'm hoping Premium goes on a 50% off sale like the BF3 version did at some point. If it doesn't there's not much point when a $5 Steam game is as much fun as a $50 EA game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Been spamming smoke lately, its a blast. Running both smoke grenades, and the smoke grenade launcher. support class and I toss myself ammo every time I'm stationary. makes domination on Operation Locker pretty wild.
