The lack of teamwork by the vast majority of snipers on my side is the issue. They can see and fire farther than anyone else in the squad, so why the hell aren't they spotting? They can take cover and provide fire support for the rest of the squad capping the flag, but do they? That's the issue, not being killed by an enemy sniper.

Snipers and mortar teams are probably the most reviled species of humans on the planet. It's only natural that the hatred would transfer over to video games The fact that they placed both cowardly devices in one class just makes Recon people a perfect target for derision.jsnipy wrote:

The line between sniper and regular infantry seems so blurred to me in modern games, when all the assault rifles are accurate as fuck at long ranges, and all these snipers run around close range scoping. Personally, the best thing to do as a sniper is to grab a G3 and go motion mine rape.
seems like it's WWI all over again when you're getting killed at close range with bolt actions, >.>Jestar wrote:

i use sniper classes on practically every FPS i've ever played. i don't understand the attraction of sitting around on a hill miles away, and getting two kills over a round. much more fun to get a highpower rifle, stick a close range scope on it and run around with your team.
cod4 and acog'd barrat are a good example of that.

The majority of Snipers in BC2 are noobs. They sit back, afraid to get into the fight, and maybe pick off a few people per round. A good player, not playing as a Sniper, but as the Recon class, can be just as effective as any other class in this game. But it depends on the map of course.
Some reasons why the Recon class is very useful:
1. In the very large vehicle maps in the game, it is very useful to have a Recon class in your squad. If you have an engineer trying to blow up a tank but is being hindered by an enemy engineer fixing the tank, then the Recon is one of the best classes for taking out the enemy engineer.
2. Taking out Enemy Snipers. This is especially useful in the larger maps where you are guaranteed to have loads of little kids sitting up on the hill side and giving your squad a bit of grief. Always handy if one of your squad mates can respawn as a Recon to deal with them.
3. Spotting. If you know how to spot (MW2 people haven't seem to have cought on to this yet), then you can provide your whole team with an advantage that they probably don't even realise. If you suddenly have a little red triangle appear on the mini-map/3d then there is a good chance the a team Recon player has spotted them. I know I do.
4. RUSH RUSH RUSH. In Rush Maps as attackers, one of the BEST tactics at certain MCOM stations is for 2/3 of your squad mates to run in, kill the enemy, activate the MCOM station, run away (trying not to get killed), and then have the Recon class put a Mortar Strike on the MCOM station. You know the defenders are going to run in there like headless chickens to deactivate it. The mortar strike will give you just that right amount of time for the MCOM station to detonate.
5. Motion Mines mine mine mine! Brilliant system for defending bases. People need to use them more often.

Speaking of snipers, when are they gonna get the spotting scope fixed on PC? Should the retards choose to use it, they will become infinitely more helpful to their team.
no scoping people with the gol from close range is both highly amusing and effective.

Yes snipers have been bitched on in probably every BF game. The reason why they are bitched on even more in BC2? In my opinion..it is the Rush mode. There is pretty much no incentive to run towards 12 man trying to mow you down just to get 130-ish point for arming/blowing up an MCom. Besides, they can just sit on their pretty mountain popping mortars all round, which is probably more effective than running down said hill on your own.
However in Conquest, though sniper are still annoying, the battle keeps switching from location, on the contrary to Rush where you are pretty much running towards one meatgrinding spot. Thus in my opinion, all the more reason to take a kit that isn't a sniper..
However, in Conquest you have to deal with the 15 out of 16 medic fags with m60's.

I prefer taking a control point and then defending it. Unless the rest of the team are complete pansies and cant take other points.

I play on hardcore all the time though, so it is useless to me, so are motion mines.
It doesn't spot It's just like the regular scope. So stupidhenno13 wrote:

That's fucking useless, even more useless than it is on hardcore.

Like you said, it's not just Bad Company 2, it's every single FPS game out there. The simple reason is because they're generally not helping.jsnipy wrote:
Or at least seems so IMO. In every battlefield game people seem to hate anything that is not a toe to toe assault rifle fight why is that? Why do people tend to despise snipers in bfbc2?
Being a sniper is generally a really easy and lazy job. You just stand still, and pop a few skulls. Basically, it's ever stat-nab's wet dream.
However, when I'm a sniper I'll usually attack with my squad, but a little further back. I can easily engage anybody who pauses for a second to shoot my guys. It's a very effective way to defend an M-COM as well, because you can just pop their little skulls from a distance as they defuse while standing still like morons.

snipers can be are fine, I sometimes play sniper, but im not some tard that sits on a hill not actually contributing to the team. I generally find camping 1 spot for the entire game bad for your kdr, if you don't cap that next base your team doesn't get another 75 ticks so you can't continue to rape.
Good snipers are rare tbh.

I buy games to sit back and relax. I also enjoy sniping a lot (For that very reason). I said that's why PEOPLE hate snipers. They just sit back and don't contribute. I never agreed with it being bad.11 Bravo wrote:
