TUWANG TUWANG.

There are some games where a great sniper can really fuck your entire team's shit up. Anything but a great sniper would be better as any other role though.

You're not seeing enemy team around too often? That means sniper is doing his thankless job well.

>retards with over 30000 hours sniping joins game

when the new holocaust comes, people who play snipers should be the first to go

I was in a game attacking with widow and hanzo, and surprisingly we steamrolled

More recently I was in a game defending with a widow on the other team. We still won but she made healing a bitch because my team let her have free reign

I guess it's more the player than the role but the role attracts bads

They are pretty handfull in CS

Nobody cares about Overwatch

I'm the sniper when I'm playing BF 3.
But not a bushwookie.
There's a difference between those 2.

DMRs are crazy in BF3. I used to absolutely dominate with the SKS even in CQC.

omg i le agree le snipers are so le USELESS!!!!!! >___<

PLAY LE F*CKING OBJECTIVE YOU D*MN NOOBS!!!!!!!! xD

>sniper players go full retard

What a shocker

For Semi close range I like the M11. On longer ranges I tend to take the M98B

i have to agree op

but perhaps you should blame the game rather than sniping itself.

games are made to be quick sessions, so the maps are made small so people die quicker.

also sniping is usually nerfed in games

Randy pls

>day of defeat
>sniper map
>cp too
>only two sniper slots per team
>match is just everyone lobbing nades and waiting to get shot while no one get cps

Why do I play this game

Oh ya to add onto that

>no mg class because it'd be too op for map
>but limited sniper is okay

It'd be okay if everyone could go sniper but two per team sucks because one side always gets stuck with shitter snipers who don't want to give up the spot

What are some games where snipers are useful?
1) Halo
2) .....

>There are people in this thread who didn't play BFBC2 as assault wookie

Conker a bad fur day the original or live and reloaded.

Those games take more skill since the laser pointer gives you away

>playing bf1

That's where your going wrong

in most cods a good sniper will destroy you at mid/high range unless you're pre-aiming where he's gonna show up and even then it's a coin toss.

In Dirty Bomb they can be sort of a hit or a miss. In some maps fucking great but in others less so. It's still a very powerful role because a headshot from a sniper will gib the body so that it can't be revived by a medic.

Sometimes I play as a sniper in Battlefield 4 for the perks but use a carbine or DMR. I can't follow shots worth a shit with a sniper rifle anymore, my reflexes are slowing down.

is right. A good sniper can be a fantastic asset.

But most snipers in online games just try to improve their own K:D ratio while forgetting that a sniper is in a supporting role.

They removed instagibs unless the enemy is at low health

Unless they put them back in recently, but yeah Vaskilly is the best character in the game if you can sport 50%+ accuracy

>MFW part of the glorious DMR masterrace
>mfw snipers think they are safe 300 maters away
>nfw conventional infantry can't do shit against me

>years of making anti-sniper threads because he's a piece of shit who can't handle or play them.
>literal years of threads about this shit
Butthurt rarely hits these critical levels.

Because they mostly useless. Especially in some hardcore FPS like RO2 or Insurgency.
I really like to play as a sniper in RO2 though.

>It's a "All sniper rifles require headshots at all ranges except extremely close ranges" episode

Snipers would be actually a useful role if games didn't fucking do this bullshit. Battlefield 4 for instance, you take the fucking M200, and fucking get hitmarkers That bullet is coming near 50 cal size and power. There is no fucking reason to get hitmarkers on somebodies upper body at any range in a game like battlefield.

If they made sniping not shit, it'd become much more of a shoot and go kind of gameplay style instead of:

>watch a guy 500m away for 5 minutes for guy to stop long enough to take a shot on his head.

Most snipers are too shit to land a moving headshot at sniping ranges, and the fact that body shots aren't an option makes them fucking useless, and tedious, and a drain on the team.

Of course in games like CoD, it's too powerful, with that whole quickscoping faggotry.

Quickscoping is fine on PC, it's the autoaim of consoles that made it a meme

>not seeing enemy team around too often

What fun is that?

Look man I don't know WHAT the fuck you're talking about, because I can quickscope infinitely better on PC Mw2 than I can on my Ps3 copy.

Yes, you can do it but it takes skill on PC, it takes high sens and random dragging on console. That makes it balanced on PC and completely broken on consoles.

>If they made sniping not shit, it'd become much more of a shoot and go kind of gameplay style
Nope. They made sniper rifles one-shot-kills in hardcore BF1 for maybe a week and a half.

It did make the game more faithful to actual WW1 in that everybody had bolt action rifles and nobody moved. It wasn't a whole lot of fun, though.

Dota 2

I much prefer back to basics conquest, the only thing I don't like is that there are still behemoths

Only if you have BR with 300 ping in your team

Can easily single-handedly turn the game around in Overwatch and Tribes: Ascend. I wish I could be as good at sniping as some people I occasionally run into. It's insane.

>a whole half my team are snipers
>get sniped
jesus fuck

sniperniggers BTFO

bro snipers don't shoot other snipers, they let each other feed on the stream of retards running across no man's land

All of them you pub scrub

>the sniper/scout is actually a saiga wookie

Battlefield games

pfft. I'd get drunk, boot up bf4, and lob bullets cross-map in shitty attempts to pick off enemy snipers. shit was so cash.

Snipers in tactical shooter tend to be handy when there is good communication. Really helps with situational awareness when a sniper park their ass on a hill and calls out enemy positions.

Bad Company 2, Rising Storm, Red Orchestra 1/2, Killing Floor 1, Company of Heroes, StarCraft, Battlefront 2

That's the ones I can think of on the top of my head.

No one uses 'le' unironically any more, why try use it ironically?

A good sniper used to be essential in Halo CE and even Halo 2 somewhat

>guy takes our flag
>gets in the passenger side of his buddy's warthog
>takes off
>aw fuck we lo-
>2 sniper shots
>guy with sniper rifle took out both the driver and passenger
>we get flag back
>gotdang you perfect son of a bitch

>Sniper and spotter are doing their job by marking enemy positions on the map
>Lasing targets for air support to drop GBUs on
>Not a single shot fired so the enemy is unaware of their presence

Can someone from /k/ explain why the fucking gun wouldn't be disguised too? A fucking gun sticking out in the open and letting off glare would still be somewhat conspicuous.

>glare

So metal doesn't shine? Sunlights doesn't reflect from the lenses of the rifle? Help me out here.

are you fucking serious right now

Stop playing Battlefield

The gun is painted and no not every sniper scope glares like Battlefield 3.

what trash game is this

>what trash game is this
>he didn't even play the game
>he is a colossal faggot

>the laser pointer gives you away
the split screen didn't already?

Dirty Bomb

Don't even bother its not worth the bandwidth downloading

What fucking game

Arma.

Which one and what online community? I'd love to do that

TF2 if they're good enough and not just wasting a slot.

It's fucking disgusting how absolutely unfun it is to play against one that is good enough, and the only way to counter them is with another sniper.

Good at all ranges, too.

Name one game where snipers don't make the game way less fun.
I don't care if snipers are useful, if they're make the game suck.

>battlefield sniper
>useful
Pick one

>nfw conventional infantry can't do shit against me

shit game

Snipers are godlike in stuff like Arma , and even in Red Orchestra

>especially
Nigga, snipers are essential in RO to take out MGs and squad leade-
>Hardcorie like Insurgency
Opinion discarded, Insurgency is literally CoD

>over 150 years of snipers
>We still use scopes that reflect light
HMMMM

Snipers are really valuable in games when they take out units in fortified positions or special units.

For example.
>Red Orchestra 2. Your team is pinned down by an MG in a pillbox that is mowing down your glorious advancement. A sniper takes him out
>Also Red Orchestra 2. Squad Leaders have smokes and the ability to spot positions for Commanding Officer to drop arty. They are also a respawn point.When a sniper kills your officer it really hurts.

Do people do this all the time? No. They don't do it most of the time. But when a sniper is doing his job well it makes a huge impact on the game.

>he isn't playing the best class in BF1
lol?

>thinking this highly of RO2 snipers
the distances are not long enough - riflemen can literally do the exact same things

CE best Halo

Nothing is godlike in arma because the point isn't to get kills unless you're playing some faggot mode maps that shouldn't be allowed in the game in the first place.

>play battlefield 1
>play scout with infantry variant rifle
>get top of board because I spam flares as often as I get them and destroy people at pretty much any range

Snipers can actually be useful in Red Orchestra/Rising Storm.
The problem is, if you have a good sniper you dont notice that they're there, they mostly take out SL, TL and MGs and if you have a bad sniper, which is 99% of the time, you wont notice either, you're only going to notice that no one is taking out those fucking MGs.

Where are those times, guys?

>No game where the sniper class can't be picked unless another player agrees to be a spotter for you

the people who are using it ironically now are the present equivalent of people who used to use it unironically

There are few games where ranges are so great that a spotter is even necessary.

very true,fuck snipers.

In BF1 a decent sniper can really wreck shit due to the sweetspot mechanics. As long as you know which distance is right to one-bang anyone on a point you've got fast and easy kills. My twitch-firing game is weak as fuck but I'm still capable of helping break a contested point because of the hand-holding DICE built in.

Also Flares are fucking great and with a little practice you've got better chances of sniping a guy out of a plane than you do hitting them with some of the anti-vehicle gadgets.

rust

game is surprisingly bad twitch-shooter so its mostly flanking people, if you can get a bolt action behind them it makes them freak the fuck out so its pretty simple for your other 2 guys to flank

Battlefield 4, when recon is lasing and spotting targets for the team

>playing fps

>i sure hope my teammates dont mind im a sniper

said no sniper ever

Counter Strike

>day of defeat
because you could still use the bolt anyway and get the same result of 1shotting people

>Haha, the enemy team is using all snipers, what a bunc

Red orchestra 2

Enemy territory, because they would use their satchel charge to blow up cp's or steal a uniform and let your team through the enemy doors
