BF2S Forums Snipers are just easy kills now

Err, snipers aren't suposed to come toe to toe with anyone, that's why they've got the guns that keep them at a distance.

Before 1.4 nerfed the bunny hopping, a good sniper could easily escape an ak101 weilding enemy or even kill him with the pistol, but now you're dead meat.

Snipers dont stand a chance coming toe to toe with other infantry now, where as before they did.

And this is a bad thing. . . why?

Snipers have claymores, a rifle, and a pistol, and if that means that they have no prayer of stopping an assault kit down the street, then so be it.

This nerf also hurts other kits too, so just take a deep breath.

Im not saying they should be, but if you can possibly go a whole round without being anywhere near an enemy and get a good K/D ratio then please show me.

I'm not exactly a noob sniper either.

Look at it from the other perspective:

If you got within 10 yards of a sniper and you've got an AK-101 in your hands, how much do you have to suck to not kill him?

Even with prone-spamming, dolphin-diving, or whatever the fuck else you want, a sniper has to get really lucky to survive a close encounter of the AK kind.  Sure, it's a little harder now, but against competent opposition, the difference it makes is next to nothing.  It makes it a little harder as a sniper to kill some noob who's sprayin his magazine in your general area, but really, if you failed to kill him at the snipers favoured range, frankly you deserve to die for sucking as a sniper.

EA/Dice have totally killed this game. It's no longer fun to play and once again they've adjusted for the PFC noobs that couldnt kill someone pressing jump a few times.

Oh well.

A sniper ain't supposed to be toe to toe dude.  Snipers must be hiding.

well to me (as a sniper) BH has never been an option. I have never done such thing so I think this thing is only good update...

oh look what a surprise yet another player post 1.4 whos game isnt so easy now and is complaining that "EA/Dice have totally killed this game"

Arnt you as a sniper suposed to keep your distance, protect your arse with your clays and be good with the pistol?

And you moan that "Snipers dont stand a chance coming toe to toe with other infantry now"  - how about "Other infantry dont stand a chance coming distance to distance with a Sniper!" - its called balance!

And make up your mind, you complain you cant hop about and its ruined your game.... but then you call your victims noobs for "couldnt kill someone pressing jump a few times".... so what your saying is you love getting easy kills on noobs!? 

but I'm guessing from your follow up post its all about your K/D - and if you needed to have bunny hopping to kill these 'noobs' well - you need to get some skill with your pistol

U know some people don't resort to bunnyhopping to get away from enemys. I always fight back with pistol, most of the time i can win or run away and find a new spot to snipe.

Long as u use your clays "the smart way" and not to run&drop in a croud. u can make your enemy chase u to your claymore and kill them.

Bunnyhopping is for newbs

Well said my friend

I'm not the best player, not the best sniper either, but I didn't feel Sniper were under power. Like others said, keep you distance, Sniper is not meant to play close combat.

Actually yesterday in Jallalalalalalalalllaaabad I have seen 2 kits, Sniper and Medic, so Snipers can't be that bad.

For Canterwood, I'll give you that you have awsome numbers, but with over 80hrs with the Sniper kit, you only have 30hrs with the Sniper rifle and that makes you an expert? As you said STFU and go play
