Getting owned by fast shooting snipers

Deathbycake · 2012-10-09, 01:42 PM

Hi,

Started playing yesterday as NC. So I find myself getting dual shot by snipers, dead in somewhere between a half and one second. This is by BR 3 guys, so basically just as noob as me.

I'm wearing a heavy assault suit most of the time, and it just puzzles me how these guys have access to fast firing, high damage sniper rifles from start!?

Everyone has access to sniper rifles as an infiltrator from the start and there are headshots in the game as well.

There have been many character wiped since beta started where everyone starts over at Battle Rank 1.

That Battle rank 3 player could have been Battle rank 14 in the last patch and Battle rank 20 the one before.

No one's rank says anything about skill.

Not to mention anyone who is talented at a modern shooter will excell at this game.

I played a lot of BF3 and was able to do well the moment I logged in with PS2.

The semi-auto snipers take about 3-4 body shots to kill, so if some sniper manages to get you with that many consecutive shots they deserve the kill. Since you are a heavy i would suggest whenever you are shot that you turn on your shield as fast as possible and take cover . Unless these are people "shotgunning" with their snipers then ignore that you are probably gunna die.
