snipers

[Black]

Now that the Nda is lifted i was wondering about how many snipers are in the game are there more than normal or jus a few or jus a medium amount


Cause i HATE to many snipers

[Dharkbayne]

actually there aren't that many, and if you hate them, be an Infiltrator, when they are zoomed in, its kinda hard for them to see you sneaking up behind them with ur knife.... muhahaahahahahhahahaaahahah..... **Runs out the door**

Surge also works well against snipers. Use tree cover, get close, then surge up to them guns blazing =)

I love sniping isn't there an implant that can make infils visible though the one that can detect footsteps within a certain radious?

Yea air, your refering to Darklight Vision and Audio Amplifier. I can't wait to get in there and get to sniping.

Darklight really limits ur vision , so its kinda hard to snipe with it, kinda like assaulting a base in an ANT

I prefer to get in my marauder and just run the dirty snipers over :/

[Lexington_Steele]

In the large battles I get sniped all the time. The snipers are especially useful in the large battles over controll of bridges. They are not so usefull in small battles.

A soldier using a Phoenix is sniper bait.

It is tough to defeat the sniper/minichaingun combo.

n00bs, any good sniper would have a MAX guarding him, lets see a maurader take on a MAX

Just going by the screenshots, snipers are pretty rare. You don't see many people equiped with a bolt-driver, and you don't see many "killed by bolt-driver" messages in the kill tally window.

Oh, and Dharkbayne... you can switch implants on and off. I haven't heard of anyone mentioning a limit on how fast you can do it, so there probably isn't one. You could spend all day beating on that quick-key thing, and not ever run out of stamina or have your long-range vision impacted, all the while being able to see cloaked enemies.

But having one hand busy switching back and forth between regular and DL vision would seriously limit your ability to either aim or move.

A lot of infiltrators will probably also imploy the silent run implant, which (i'm not sure on this cause i haven't played) you would think would cancel out the audio amplifier.

good luck getting a max to sit out in the middle of nowhere when he could be down raking kills in faster then a sniper could even hope. Not to mention a marauder with a guy on that ground pounder turret actually does a great job of taking on AI MAX

[Prowler]

I concur.

[Ruthless]

any max whos dumb enough to just stand by a sniper instead of actually getting some action is a waste.

Marauder > MAX. I think you people are really overestimating the worth of MAX armor against vehicles. They hurt if you're in a lighter vehicle like a Marauder, but I have a funny feeling the mortar on the back of the Marauder hurts a little bit too.
