allow me to paint a picture for you...
... so I've found myself a lovely little hiding spot near the airbase from which planes have repeatedly been taking off raping my team from afar... every time one of my teammates shoots down their plane, the pilot simply respawns and takes the plane back into the air to continue his raping... this has gone on for 5-10 mins while I stealthily made my way into enemy backfield... I slowly make my way into my spot with my trusty M95 in tow. I lay down ever so quietly in a perfectly matched bush. Their pilot is flying as we speak... bombing the bejezus out of my commerades... Finally, our fighter takes him down... he respawns and sprints to the hangar to hopefully re-take to the skies...
The plane spawns... my sights are perfectly aligned to where his head will soon be in the cockpit... he jumps in, slams the afterburner and then *crackle*... he hears the cockpit glass crack milliseconds before a runaway .50 calibur bullet strikes his head... his body lay in the cockpit for several seconds before he respawns to give it another shot... he jumps in and is again pulverized inside his giant metal and glass coffin. My team is actually taking a flag now that they are not being bombed into oblivion... I slowly move to another bush while he is respawning so my position is not given away... I wait a few seconds but he is not there... Seconds later, I hear the rumble of an APC as it flies out onto the runway, its turret spinning wildly as he is no doubt rather annoyed at this point. I lay perfectly still, having switched to my knife so I don't have a large gun barrel sticking out of the bush... I see the turret go past my position several times... He starts scanning more slowly... his turret stops looking dead at me (by now I can barely see him as I have backed out behind the bush)... Seconds later, I'm barraged by APC fire and killed instantly.
What happened here? He scanned multiple times right over me and couldn't see me as I had picked the perfect bush to camoflauge myself in. I scanned the sky for a UAV and did not see one... While he was looking away, I had slipped behind the bush so there was no way he'd see me. He didn't fire on a single place on the hill but where I happened to be sitting, and when he did fire, it was perfectly accurate. A novice sniper might ask, how did he see me??? What a hacker!! But no... not I... I am a veteran to this irritating slap in the face to the stealthy sniper trying to help his team... It's happened before... In DICE/EA's INFINITE wisdom
, they have programmed the game in such a way that simply resting your cursor for more than a second on enemy troops causes HUGE, UNMISSABLE RED TEXT to appear above the perfectly environment matched ghille suit that might as well say, "SHOOT HERE, HE'S OVER HERE, SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME!". So I ask any who might be able to explain this logic to me... what is the point in designing a perfect ghille suit for the sniper to wear? Why not make him wear the same uniform the rest of the team wears, or perhaps a brightly colored clown suit just in case the enemy MISSES THE RED TEXT ABOVE HIS HEAD???
