Hiding snipers from UAVs

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Okay, if I'm commander, and I'm play SAK, and I am sitting at our main commanding while you are picking off my team, and everyone is too stupid to do something about it, then I am going to do something about it. Quit bitching, it's how you play.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

How long would it really take for the round to end if a lone sniper, or a group, sat motionless after the flags were all capped? With tickets bleeding rapidly, it would only take a couple minutes to end the round. The 2 things snipers are supposed to be good at, long range shots and stealth, are countered by weak draw distances, random cones of fire, and UAV/Scan. Oh, and some people turn all the details down, so that bush you're hiding behind doesn't exist for your enemies. The lack of standardization with settings and equipment, including macros and the like, ensures that this game will never be "fair."
I do support this idea, in theory, though. At least the snipers could have stealth back.

Dont worry, snipers (Recon) will be much better in 2142

Active camo and C7 explosives? O yea

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

I've played snipers a bit lately, but have to say it's really frustrating when the commander wants to make your life miserable. He's artying or vehicle dropping on you constantly cause you're so easy to find. It's also easy for the enemy to spot you since there is no good hiding places and the gun shot itself gives away your location.

To make this class more fun to play I suggest they should make snipers invisible to the Scan function, so the only way commanders can find you is to manually spot you or use the UAV. In BF3, I hope there will be a more realistic way to hide out of sight in vegetation etc., now they're easy to see almost regardless of where they "hide".

I guess I could have put up some kind of poll...

Ask a modcrew to put it into production stat! Oh, and a name for it could be " The REAL Realistic Mod" or something!

It hontly not hard at all to hide from ARTY. Just run to a corner of a buliding ad go prone and arty will not hit you

The 'Commander' position is a joke, to be used by people who cant shoot.

snipers in vegitation and ppl in buildings for uav and scan

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

here is the real solution to the scan/uav problem.

-people in buildings (covered) should not be picked up by uav/scan

-static snipers, in vegitation (NOT ON A DAMN ROOF) should also not show up on uav/scan

That's quite a reasonable idea, which would force the snipers to look for some more serious cover.
If it comes to being static, almost everyone admits that not moving is as good as being dead. That's the whole point! Either you choose to hide from the UAV/scan for a minute and risk being eye-spotted by some player, cause your'e not moving - or you risk being spotted by the UAV/scan, but you run away from your hot cover and find another one.

AND GOD PLEASE! make them claymores destructible!

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Yea, thats true they should make it so Snipers cannot be spotted.

Re: Hiding snipers from UAVs

Couldn't agree more. EA should focus their effort on creating more realistic warfare, put in more elements from mordern militaries in stead of making soming like BF2142 si-fi nonsense using the same old trick as the vanilla BF2.
