I agree with 1 completely. I'm curious about 2 though, why is a sniper good there? Even when I fly (heli or plane) I play a useful class so that if I have to bail out over a capture point I can actually defend or capture it. Just curious as to your logic.polarbearz wrote:

If any of you want testimonials of me, go to the PlanetBattlefield forums.
People are commenting on how awesome of a squad leader I am.
In fact, just google me up (I've done it myself ) and you'll see a bunch of people saying I kick ass (which I do).

Alpha as fuck.
I actually could see a sniper being a useful squad leader if he controller/defended CP's. Snipers are good because they stay well clear of the action and are harder to kill because of this. Therefore, they are good mobile spawn points, and provided long-range (if often limited) support. I think their primary benefit is as a squad leader and a mobile SP. I actually hate it when I have a sniper in my squad as just a squad member. Useless.Nyte wrote:

We will see how "effective" some of these guys are after the new patch comes out. Apparently, you can't hop and dive around like an idiot anymore......or so they say.
it's a beta, enough people will cry for them to change it
I don't hop and dive, I just prone spam.
Alpha as fuck.
Or squad leader I guess... Hmm.

the only thing a sniper is useful for is shooting people out of a jet or chopper w/ m95 which is gay as well which is why snipers are gay as hell!
Skilled sniper with semi-auto ( or bolt-action , I don't care , M24 is also very good ) = awesome squad's long range fire power improvement against :
a) other snipers
b) machinegunners
c) machinegunners in Hummers\Vodniks
d) s\o

Longbow, props for that round. Great to also get top combat like in Nyte's example.
In case you're wondering a good squad IMO would be maybe:
assault
medic
medic
spec ops or AT
support
sniper
As I implied above, the entire point of this thread is lost on some people. Cap the TV station flag with me on Sharqi sometime, see how useless a sniper is to the squad's goal; that's just one of many examples I could give.Seether wrote:

I thought i'd do a nice little bit of bumpage here

more like no sniper and stick an AT in thereTodd_Angelo wrote:

Sniper is actually the ideal squad leader class because they are always closer to battle but never close enough to keep dying. I just wish more people would realize that, if you had one sniper as a squad leader and then the rest of your squad are all on the front lines, they have a better spawn point, they could still heal each other and stuff, and you could give them covering fire. The other good thing is if somebody is medic or support in your squad they can always heal you and supply you whenever they respawn so you are pretty much invincible.
vaguely i'll talk 2 u on xfire lol!ssonrats wrote:

Yeah,yeah,the question is how many of these comments are written by yourself so you can brag about it here.....a K/D-ratio of 1.8 with the sniper rifle doesn't sound like kicking ass to me.Nyte wrote:

My god. You really ARE as annoying as they said. Guess I didn't believe them the first time.Nyte wrote:

and I've watched fragtv yesterday when Nyte was fooling 5!!!! medics on karkand. I had to laugh so badly. good job Nyte!
KPM 0.97,DPM 0.52...wow,I'm impressed.Chikyuu Shoujo Arujuna wrote:

And yeah,from what I've seen in Nyte's videos he knows how to mindf*ck with some of his victims,but that's mostly in close-combat.
Nyte is a good player,but he's just not the sniper god he thinks he is.
From one look at the top ten I'd say that Books is the "sniper god" of BF2,7:1 K/D ratio with the rifle is what I call effective.
I second that
Snipers = mostly useless. BF2 is a game of armored mobility, period.
So what if you got 25 kills in a round? You weren't killing anything useful like armor or jeeps... you know, the things that take the people to cap flags. Being a "God amongst snipers" still leaves you with an inability to do anything but pick off a few guys at range. Feel free to wave as your bullets *plink* off the skin of my MiG or my M1A1. The sniper never has been, and never will be anything more than a niche role in this world of BF2. 'Tis fun tho.
