People worrying about their K/D ratio is the biggest reason I stopped playing FPS games. I have only recently began playing MWO but it's not a typical FPS game.

The role of a sniper can be one of two things. First is target elimination. Pretty straight forward, they are given a target to kill and they go kill it.

The second is what I would think is their primary function on the battlefield. Denying the enemy. Having played primarily sniper in DoD, I would do one of two things depending on the map and situation.

A - I would stay one flag behind on flag maps to prevent the enemy from getting back caps or on maps that require the enemy to blow up a target, I would camp it.

B - I would deny the enemy access along side paths. After killing the same person a couple times, they tend to go a different route.


I didn't give a crap about padding some score. I simply wanted to help the team out. Watching their backs so they don't have to.


Not only do those tards take on the role for the wrong reasons, they don't even camp effectively. The first thing they need to do is ask if the game allows for effective camping. Some games show where the person killed you from so, as a sniper, you are giving away your position every time you kill someone to that someone. This means that to be effective, you need to be constantly repositioning. You need to stay mobile.

Never camp in obvious locations, make sure you can carry out your role, and most importantly, have more than one way to get out of where you're at that doesn't expose you.

Yesterday I played DUST514 again, I try it from time to time.

But what was different yesterday was that I actually had fun! No idea why, but i Just did.


Like in all games I get so damn sick of all the sniper ******* just going for k/d and doing nothing to help their team though, please do something about it

So, the strategy in DUST is sniper blobs?
