Hiding snipers from UAVs

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

As with any proposed change, I ask myself "How will this be abused?"

Can we say sniper SL anyone? An already effective squad tactic is a SL that sneaks behind enemy lines and has his squad wait to spawn till he's at the flag. Now he's invisible too.

I like the general idea, but a CO should still be able to spot them manually by zooming in his view. And if a CO is spending that much time on you, consider it a compliment and take one for the team. It means he isn't helping the rest of his team.

Overall though, not needed. There are more important things that need fixing.

Maybe we could move these suggestions to the DICE board? :)

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Why?
he made a suggestion
everyone shot it down
a very good example of something that should never go in the DICE forum
If nobody agrees with you, its a non-runner

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

i think hiding snipers from uav or scan even is abit too unrealistic for a game. imagin there is only one enemy left with all his flags taken. but he is a sniper. if the uav or scan cant pick him up, then the round will take a very long time to end!

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

like venny said....it could take a while for a round t oend of the last person was a sniper....

and also...commanders wouldnt waste an UAV on just one sniper and he'll prob be spotted by UAV if hes with a bunch of other ppl

also on gameplay...who plays as sniper and stays there the entire round...sure its realistic..but its boring...when i play sniper im always with my squad

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

I do have to say that i dont use sniper that much but when i do its best to use the class for long range combat and noyt for close range combat like others. But making snipers invisible would just make the whole match a whole lot harder and the commander would probably start dropping artillery on random spots on the map O_o

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Although I would like to see snipers invisable to UAVs or at least scans, I know it wouldn't work because of the problem of finding the last person on the team to end the round.

Maybe they should become visable if they are the only person left - ah, nope that would require coding skill on the part of dice

Dude, you've been watching too many 007 films.

no it is true, USMC/ARMY Snipers do have this kind of tech that they do you use. you need to wathc the military channel more, you would see this kind of stuff on there.

that is the whole point of being a sniper is being the hardest to kill. aos fro commanders just dropping arty at random, they already do that trust me on this.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

# How many times haven't you been killed by an arty strike while hiding at your über-leet favorite bush somewhere up in the mountains on SAK?

-none

# How many times haven't looked up in the sky and seen a UAV right over your head, and seconds later been killed by a squad looking on the UAV?

- none

# How many times haven't you been the last guy on the team, and the commander setting out a UAV right on top of ya, and the next thing you see is 20 man lying prone on hill 200 meters away blasting you off with AT rockets (well... that was abit unrealistic)?

-wtf?

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

I actually take it as a compliment if Im sniping an get artillarized into an oblivion...

It tells me 2 things, either I am being enough of a bother to use an arty strike on to try and eliminate me, or it tells me the opposing commander is an idiot for wasting an arty strike on 1 player.

As annoying as it can be, live with it...because when they drop arty a few times and fail to kill you,..it really helps your team out.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

make it so that if the sniper is prone and stationary then they can't be seen then its more reallistic

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Certainly then, snipers can run into town undetected and shoot everyone with pistols and blow them up with claymores, while they are focusing on the red dots that are on the UAV.

Make it so they only have to be stationary to not be seen on the UAV/SCAN
Make it so if the sniper is the only person left he shows up on everything.

And this is a total rip of my thread I made.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

It would be nice if you became undetectable after laying idle in a spot for say 20 seconds. But as soon as you move a distance you become detectable again. It really is annoying when your in a nice sniper spot and all the sudden a car lands on you. It's pretty annoying. The point of sniper is to stay hidden. It's stupid that you can scan every 20 seconds and see every single thing on the map. Help make the sniper more useful dice.

I did not post this in the DICE forum, coz I never actually thought anything would happen :)
