Limit snipers

[Wiqd]

Pretty ***** when everyone on both teams is a sniper. Any way you can limit the sniper spawns like you did with the BC2 servers to 3 per side?

What time? I have never had a problem with either side having too many snipers. It's Engineers that are the problem in my book. Such an OP class.

[Wiqd]

I just did 2 Operation Firestorm maps with like 12 snipers on each side. It was ridiculous. You couldn't move anywhere on the map w/o being sniped.

Learn to use cover.

[Wiqd]

I do use cover. I have nothing against sniping in general and 4-5 snipers per side isn't bad. But when I can't move from flag to flag because as soon as I leave cover there's one of 20 snipers on the other team watching the road I'm on, it gets annoying real fast.

Use a tank.

Do you play Support? I don't like support. They mortar too much, limit them. Do you play Engineer? I don't like them either. They get to have an EOD bot, with mines and RPGs. Let's limit all classes.

[Wiqd]

Right over your head, Phantom. But it's ok, I know you love sniping. I only brought it up because almost all the team I was on was saying the same thing: Too many snipers. It's not that I dislike snipers or have anything against the arsenal they pack at any unlock point. I just have an issue when 20/32 people are snipers on a team. That's it. But if you guys don't see a problem with it, it's cool.

Not this limit sniper bull crap again Limit those mortars instead

[Wiqd]

It's cool. Don't limit it if you don't feel the need. I'll still play

[Kaysick]

I would say limit the mortars. I play Support exclusively and they're pretty OP on core. They do 50% damage if they hit close, but not on you. Thats high damage for an explosive that you have unlimited of.
I've learned that C4 and Claymores are a lot more fun than Mortars are so I dropped them.
But maybe when my cousin gets the MAV I'll use it again.

Only time I grab a mortar is if people are launching them on the opposing team. People should learn that after you fire, move your rear side. Only times I've really been killed by a mortar is if they get a lucky guess when I'm using my mortar to kill them.

After I viewed this thread, I went back in game and saw everyone complaining. I was using a tank, so thus, snipers weren't a problem. Also, it takes a bit of skill to snipe in this game, so you must be doing something wrong. Their role is to pick off enemy campers, and unless someones got a pretty good shot, you're likely staying in one position too long.

Also, Operation Firestorm is probably the most vehicle based map in the game. I don't think I've ever gone as an infantry on that map unless there were no vehicles available (most cases there are) or my vehicle was destroyed so I was forced on foot.

AMEN! WTH with all the crying? Is getting boring people complain for everything. I play sniper but with UMP and mobile spawn. And because of some **** i would be forced to play with another kit?

[Wiqd]

I think I was just angry at the time. I came back later and even did an Operation Firestorm map and had a great time. When I was playing before it was Kharg Island followed by Operation Firestorm, both of which are horrible for infantry and I was trying to play infantry. So disregard this. I don't think classes should be penalized just because someone has a bad couple of rounds with them.

I'll just have to learn to play better

Wiqd, don't try to argue with Phantom about sniping, I mean camping He's the king of it and probably one of the best players I've seen in BF. He doesn't know what it is like to have a 0.5 k/d ratio in a round.

Sniping is part of the game and snipers are not nearly as annoying as they were in BC2. If the snipers are getting out of hand, just jump in a vehicle. Even the humvees and vans help to avoid snipers (not to mention they are quite effective in this game).
