One of your own snipers/mandos (knifers love to do this too), if they have half a brain, will immediately hunt it down. That is what we are here for, to support our team. I myself love and specialize in counter sniping. If another snipers shows up I change my priorities to the sniper, so that I can defend my team from the high burst damage. All classes if played properly are support classes to each other.

Well said m8.

He's absolutely right. If I'm on your team and there's a sniper causing a problem for you please let me know which one and what their last position was. Voice chat works best for this, granted; but anything you can do to let me know helps. Campers are easy kills for one such as I because they are soooo predictable.

i for one think that itz okay for a couple of camperz in a match but if there are alot i understand how tht ticks pppl off

Once i was sniping with LR sniper with ps lvl 5 (i take normally 78 headshot and 44 body) and then a whining gunners says "You're a little girl hiding and sniping".After that i waited, and in the end of the round (i was in MM) I did 2600 points (i only needed one more kill to infantry focus IV :'( ) and that gunner only did 1800 points.
The only reason to i dont knife its because i suck knifing, and the only way i escape from that is sniping.

OFF-TOPIC- I´m soooo happy: i just won a gold medal, a silver medal, a bronze medal and a GOLDEN SVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People are whining about a class that has/can
- 80 HP
- Can't 1 shot
- Can be killed
- Quite easy to own if you're a skilled player

[tony203]

After that episode, i met a soldier who killed me about 8 times, only because i was stupid and always camp in same place and he had greg's super greasy gun.
He was a smart player, and if gunners were smart, they bought bernie's bone chewer and put an ability point in leg it.
That way they could easily kill an enemy commando.
Gunners are overpowered, when you talk about weapons.
That is exactly like real life: Nerds(Commandos) look weaker, but they are much more smarter than those musculated man (Gunners) , controled by Nerds to carry stuff, robb banks, etc.

I love comandos !

Statistics comparing Gunner/Commando:

Gunner/Commando

Health-150 hp/80 hp
Ammo-+100/-15+infinite
Range-LR-MR/SR-LR
Explosives-TNT-Explosive Keg-RPG/TNT-TT's
Particular things:
Gunner
-unique weapon´s ability (Frenzy Fire) helps shooting and HEALS at same time
-explosive ability slows down enemy
-you can be shooting for half a minute non-stop than bullets look like infinite
-lvl 5 shield adds 65 to theirs life (215!)

Commando
-with lvl 5 stealth commandos only can be seen 6 meters away
-knife takes 64 damage if enemy isn't moving
-extremely vulnerable to tanks
-can use tt's to reach places that soldiers and some gunners can't (they can use RPG and EK)

No guys really A camping Commando is an easy frag.

1. You can snipe effectively with a long range SMG or Pistol. Which many Soldiers do actually.
2. When he doesn't kill you with a knife (and usually he needs 3 hits) in close combat you pop-up your shield/clap/heal and gun the thing down which in this game (rather slow pace of action when compared to other games) is easy as pie.
3. Yes you will die but you will be never dominated by a knifer.
4. Order other Commandos to kill the camping one.
5. If the Commando want's to snipe he has to have slow type of a weapon and pearcing shot ready at a decent lvl.

Really, from what I have noticed so far we are nothing out of ordinary. Things change when you encounter a bunch of buddies playing over team speak

What I do hate personally as a Commando is Campers that bug the map and what I mean by that is:

What do you mean? I flew here by the plane? it not a bug? Well it is, since you can't get there by foot because the penalty time pops-out. U guys hate those snipers too? Maybe you are enraged by this? not by the honest commandos out there who give you tons of chances to sprinkle them on the nearest wall?

finally i met 1 other person that understands camping commandos

i will be happy if that gets closed couse i want to play, not to argue, and i just cant leave the things like that, that the comandos themselves complain that they are right and balanced.

Cry me a river Gunner whimp :* Seriousy as the most overpowered class in the game you have no right to speak, especially since you have no experience with the Commando class past lvl 15.

Camping sniper mandos can duck off.

EA needs to buff snipers close range, so it encourages them to not camp anymore.

To me (I do this), a smart sniper should take out a few people, then they will look for you, but then you go knifing, then sniping. They won't be able to find you, unless they get lucky.

And for the knifing part; grab a uber knife and 1 point of exlir. That's all you need.

EDIT - Spelling error.

[Drugie]

I tried being a camping sniper today. People don't like me anymore. I think a couple have reported me for hacking too

We get a lot of stick, but what do you want us to do? Stand in front of your cheesers and let you blast us away everytime? That doesn't sound very nice to me. Snipers do what they're supposed to do, and if you don't like it then come and get us. We're always in the same spot apparently, so it shouldn't be hard.

[paznecht]

I must join what has been said, the cries created camper mandos.

In closed and open beta i loved going twin-rifle and running in group with soldiers. Because i could do it and be usefull. And i honestly tried it again...got mowed down by gunners and their fancy super cheesers.

Best sniper(and i mean sniper, not using knife) can do is run around, side from fight, pick distracted people/stranglers and hunt down guys coming to see if you are still on the old spot. That ofc causes rage, which will lead to nerf which subsequently will force more commandos to camp in inaccesible spots...

[chaingunnErnest]

I dunno i mean first i used pistols i just started using snipers..porbly going back to pistols but yeah good idea!
I mean developers even mentioned they thought of a "camp fire" ability for manod's.....
probly would'va been good

[RiceMan93]

If there are less than THREE targets in my sight, I won't camp there. I'll still shoot, though.

If there are more than three, and if I have an ally or two (at least) backing me, and I have cover, I unload on them. This is because I took on the role of "Marksman", which focuses on movement in addition to sniping. So I'll camp sometimes, not all the time.
People who camp on a rock in Buccaneer Bay are cheap... especially when they are literally right next to the spawn...
There's my opinion.
