I guess that would be me.
Patch 1.4 didn't change anything about my play style on Wake,I still pick off targets on long range and have the occasional run-in with an enemy in close combat(close for a sniper).

The only impact the changes have on sniping is that when you are in a sniper duel you'll have to adapt to the new delay going from prone to crouch,besides that nothing has changed.

I don't see a problem for snipers, nor any other class in this patch.
As a sniper I go for long range shots and try moving targets; I'll avoid CQC.
Mostly I get killed on the way to my sniper hide-out by arty or armor, hardly ever when I am sniping.

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.

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.
Lol have any of you thought that the patch makes snipers actualy more powerful? let me explain... for all of u snipers how many times have you sniped a guy and wounded him.. like down to 2 bars of health, only to have the guy bunnyhop away to cover.. its very anoying for any sniper.. but now infantry will have to think and use more cover instead of just bunnyhopping. the patch will also make medic noobing harder considering that the medics wont be able to bunnyhop to cover and heal themselves...woot ...

K/D is only one way to measure your so called ability - most players I see that quote havin a high K/D as the end of it do a lot of sniping, and/or armor and/or aircraft. I play for fun and to win as a team - I cant be arse with the fighting (being tked) for vehicles - I will always join in a head on fight/attempt to take a flag if the overall benifit goes to the squad/team. This is the same crap we get in CS/CZ with the snipers thinking they are the nuts because of KPD. I'll also frequently join the team with less players, or the side thats getin its arse whiped because of a couple of leet players on the other side, or on the difficult side of the map (wake on the ship with no one working together)

So yes my K/D sucks - but its going up - and I play for FUN.

There's two kinds of people out there: stat whores and fun players. I am one of the latter. I honestly couldn't care less about my stats, they are a fun fact of life, nothing else. Now if there is something that gets me, it's people who think they are better/worth more/have more rights than others because of their higher BF2 score / k/d / badge yield / whatever. How miserable must some people's lives be if they define themselves over something so arbitrary as BF2 stats? But hey, I can play that game too.

You want to know better than me how to play the sniper kit? You have 85 hours on the kit, of those only 35 are on the rifle. Of your 4300 kit kills, only 900 are with the rifle, another 1300 are attributed to the claymore. That leaves more than 2000 kills unaccounted for. What did you do those other 50 hours, where are those other 2000? Did you tankwhore to get your badges? How pathetic.

I will not tell anyone how to play medic or assault or support, because I don't have enough xp on those kits. But with 150 hours on the sniper kit and more than 80% of my kit kills achieved with the rifle, I think I am pretty well qualified to speak up and say how I think the kit should be played. It is your right to disagree. But I have the same right as you or anyone else to speak up here. You being a Lt.C., having 140k points and a k/d>2 does in no way make you a better person or give you more rights than me or anyone else.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

So because my stats suck I don't understand the mechanics of the game and the essence of what a good sniper should be? I don't give a flying fuck about my stats, I'm in this game to have a laugh.

Oh no, my KD ratio is below 1, I must be useless. Get a life retard. There are plenty of things I dare say I wouldn't be any good at, but I know how they work.

QFT.

Only problem now is that as they cower in cover, someone else will get the easy 2 bar kill.  When they bunny-hopped, we stood a good chance of still killing them.  Kill assist isn't as satisfying as getting the kill.

You have to hop around to kill someone with a sniper kit? lol  Try sniping them. If they are too close to snipe then you either didn't place your claymores very well or you weren't paying attention. You should never let them get that close to you.

You forgot the award whores. They play for the shiny stuff. They seem to be a mix of the other two. They play for fun but usually are chasing down an award.

Well, i am one of the luckiest people i know. My tatic, wich works alot because of my luck

1: run at enemy
2: at reasonable distance jump and go prone (yes you can still do that)
3: after proning mid air you should be up close and VERY personal with your enemy
4: unscoped FIRE
5: if your lucky, you headshot, but ore then likely you hit him at least in the body
6: so....pull out your pistol, and finish him off


This is great because, if you use your suroundings right, you can supprise an enemy. They don't expct to be rushed at by a sniper do they?

s: sorry for the spelling, off to bed for me...

Let me put it like this - if the unzoomed rifle is pointed at a teamie, you will hit him with 99.99% probability.

I managed to hit an opponent once with the unzoomed rifle, but that was at less than point blank range.
