BF2S Forums No snipers when money is on the line

I think it is time that EA/Dice remove useless players once and for all. First off, if you're playing Karkand, you're playing Medic. The only reason people play sniper on Kark is when they want the claymores.

No. First off, good snipers can inflict heavy ticket loss on the other team, while only losing a couple for theirs. Secondly, snipers actually defend. The enemy team can't cap that flag if they can't go within 25 feet without dying. Even if the lone sniper can't hold them off, they'll lose tickets, and it will buy time for someone else to defend the flag. Also, when your team's vehicles are on the move, it helps to have someone to shoot all the TOW/Stinger/AT gunners. Snipers can do all this with less deaths than a traditional infantryman.

No snipers when money is on the line. On the weekend I went to a BF2 tournament in town. I did not find out about the thing in time to get a team together but I thought it would be nice to watch. So there’s about 12 teams of 6 and top prize 500$ not much
Split 6 ways but whatever. So I am there watching and I noticed there are some pretty good players I have seen some of them online before but I also noticed no one is playing sniper so I move around looking at the players screen and sure enough no one is playing sniper even on Karkand. So I thought how odd then I heard someone say something to one of this team mates “why are you a sniper” I look at his screen and sure enough he was a sniper and he said sorry clicked the wrong kit. I just find it so funny that when money is on the line no one plays sniper yet all other kits are there. Could it be because even players who use the sniper kit know it is useless? I think it is time EA and Dice removed this useless kit once and for all.

i like your k/d with the sniper rifle. Maybe you get killed a lot by snipers?

Being a successful and effecient sniper requires skill, something the whiners don't have.

If you Want to truly change the way a Sniper works, have Dice adjust the damage to the sniper rifles. I was in the army for 10 years and have personally shot the M95.  If someone were to be struck in the chest with this weapon.. dont call a medic, call a priest.  too many times have I seen people get shot with this weapon and they walk away... it should be similiar damage that a grenade produces to make it accurate. if you get hit with it.. you die.. none of this must be a headshot crap.

There should absolutly never be a one shot kill weapon in BF2.  It would be the worst thing implemented.  You would have 70% of the comunity running around with the M95 because they know if they can get the first shot in, they get a kill.  People would be running around only being sniper.  If you've ever played CS or perhaps Halo, then you know how bad a one hit kill weapon would imbalence the game.  There are plenty of things to ask to be added or changed, but a 1-hit-kill weapon is not one of them.

but it works good in poe2
