Re: Sniper Squads

Does the 20-0 not help your team?

If you don't take any flags, believe me it won't help your team. That's what I've been talking about this whole time, camper sniping!

Re: Sniper Squads

it actually helps cause we where playing sharqi and there where at least 10 snipers on my team on a 32 player server and we had almost won it at the end we lost it 5 to 0

Re: Sniper Squads

lol the other day on mashtuur every single one of my team decided they felt like lone-wolf sniping except for one chopper squad with some engys and AT's. but...it was pretty funny then it got annoying cause we werent getting anywhere.

Re: Sniper Squads

A lot of times if I'm playing Daqing Oilfields as USMC, myself and 3 or 4 of my clanmates will go sniper and head to the Chinese main. About halfway through the round, we have 4 or 5 Chinese on the ground, an attack chopper, and a jet looking for us and trying to kill us. By distracting them like that, it allows the rest of the team to take flags. I also try and sneak down to their AA and waste them as they fly over to rear and repair.

It can be fun once in a while.

Yeah thats why its only good to have a few snipers a key locations, while the rest of the team is doing the grunt work. Your right, too many snipers and your team will lose unless the other team is full of complete newblets.

Re: Sniper Squads

Snipers are good for the team, but only at a rate of One sniper to each FULL squad, or Six players, less snipers are needed if the server has less than 32 players.

I'm not surprised that you lost but that you lost only 5 to 0. If it was a 32 players server, that means 10 people out of 16 on your team were playing snipers. Something is wrong with that picture, especially if it wasn't infantry only game.

Re: Sniper Squads

The problem is, all the noobs start playing this game as snipers and everybody wants to be one, that is before they discover the pleasures of the medic points whoring. 10 snipers out of 16 players is just wrong, I don't care if it's IO or not.

Re: Sniper Squads

I had a squad of all snipers take the airfield flag on Wake, all the tanks were at the island tips, I flew into the AF with jet and bombed their helo as it was taking off swung back around and bailed at the flag. As soon as I hit the ground there was 5 snipers spawning on me and we all layed down claymores all around the flag cap radius, 12 clays laying around makes it hard for enemy infantry to get close enough to you to kill you and we had the flag capped in a matter of seconds. Then the other squads spawned at the AF with AT and C4 and took care of the incoming tanks and commander assets. The round ended rather quickly actually.

I will admit though, a squad of all snipers have to be on the same page and work together or its useless.

It may work on rare occasions, but I wouldn't recommend all snipers squad on a map full with tanks.

Re: Sniper Squads

Sniper is by far the most leathal infrantry class beating any other 1v1 however i have never tried a team of 5 lol.

I think it is worth a shot :p just you must all talk and squad leader stays safe. Probily not so good at capping flags but defendin would be brilliant on IO

What?

Maybe if the sniper is on a roof 200 yards from a guy with a SAW, then the sniper is more lethal 1v1, but otherwise that's just a dumb statement.
