I don't think we need to keep beating up on Loki, he's amply answered the question in the thread title... haven't you mate

Todd_Angelo I though you were playing as well, my apologies.
Thank you. Should have thanked you last night but I was overdue logging off and just wanted to respond to Loki's post. Rereading my starting post I didn't describe things as clearly as I might have so I can see it would be easy to read it how you did. I meant he was practicing so that we could play as a three-man sniper squad in future.

...screens like you have happen once in a while, not every game.
Granted (for me at least) but snipers don't suck, only bad snipers suck. That's
why I practice: 53% accuracy, 1.7 K/D ratio and SPM 1.6, and climbing.

Snipers are fucking useless.
A good example of where it can be useful to have at least one sniper is around the TV station on Sharqi where good placement of claymores (plus something or someone to keep them topped up) can really help deny the flag room to the enemy, plus they can pick off incoming threats on foot more effectively than any other class, and at longer ranges.

I regularly have the most flag defends when playing my alternative account as sniper (roughly twice my caps for that account) which SAS helps us win.

Nothing annoys me more than idiot snipers... there they are, prone on some fucking roof with a finger up their ass... then, he gets artied... tries to go back to his sniper position and dies like 400 times attempting it.
You're tarring all snipers with the same brush here: bad snipers are not all snipers.

Snipers are gay.
-1, homophobic comments like this are moronic, intentionally bigoted or not. Most snipers are straight anyway, by the law of averages.

who gives a shit?
Apart from just wanting to tell the story I was asking
if he's generally a dick, or not - please note I didn't accuse him of being an asshat, I asked; basically I wanted to know if this had been an isolated incident, which it would appear it clearly was not since he mixed it up with another event LOL

Inc|Loki wanted them to attack because it is easy to take the hotel as snipers (claymores by entrance to the flag capping sone)
You mean in addition to the other 20 other guys already swarming down the slopes toward Hotel and the two APCs and the tank? Besides, taking the heads off the enemy (or cutting their health down to half) the moment they respawn in the alleys to the west of the main road
directly contributes to being able to take the hotel.
I don't think it was clear:
the round has just started; it was less than one minute in when the order first arrived, he hadn't even reached position on the west slope;
by the time he was artied (didn't kill him by the way, it was judged a little off and landed mostly behind him, who knows if it killed some other unsuspecting soul) I guess it was maybe five minutes into the game;
I checked last night to be sure, the range to the flag he was ordered to take is ~480m. Yeah lemme get right on that boss... how long does it take to leg it that far in the game anyway?
