BF2S Forums Sniper bonus

Maybe +1 teamwork for a headshot? Dunno maybe not lol. One thing's sure, snipers dont receive enough points.

i totely disagree for the following reasons: as sniper, you dont die much if you shoot before you get shot, isent to hard at long range. and at short range, 1 bullet anywhere, 1 pistol anywhere (oke, sometimes 2).

The commander assets, should be worth more, but not more then 2 points. olso spec ops should have 3 c4, but 1 is enough for a tank, and enough for arty ect.

but, i think snipers should get 1 extra point for shooting people out of driver seats and if its a plane, 2 extra points (only if the plane is flying over 200 KM/H).

and, evry gun exept pistol should be 1 shot in the head = dead, but if its 50 ,meter away then not.

I'm gunna have to disagree.
Snipers DO get alot of points as demonstrated by Ssandstorm.
They just need to practice as snipers need alot of skill.
And id rether it not turn into a whorage class.
Id kill to beable get 80 points per round as in

POSSIBLY i mean POSSIBLY give snipers an extra point if their kill is over a certain distance..mabye for a headshot.. who knows. Itll never happen.

Ok well then some of you people have some dumb commanders. Any time a sniper starts doing any"REAL" damage its Scan and Arty. Maybe a UAV in there. Snipers don't work with a team that plays together.

I disagree with you. Snipers are - generally speaking - a waste of digital skin. It's the most "selfish" class of all and all they do is hog up space to rack up kills. Most of the time they get 5-8 kills in a round unless they claymore-whore on Karkand. Oh look at me! I can stay on a roof top for 20 minutes without dying!

OK, it's not that bad but you know what I mean. The only times I play sniper is on larger vehicle maps when I'm a squad leader. Some might argue that they are lying prone and defending flags from a distant but most of the time they fail at that as well. Besides, those that argue about sniper being a l337 class are snipers themselves.

I have seen some sniper videos around here and although fun to watch you don't help your team out by lying on the US island on Wake taking out Solo Driver Bob.

Totally agree with Mason4 - add more points to valuable things like taking out enemy assets, killing the commander, capping flags alone etc. +1 to you Mason!

Every kills bring the ticket down, Sniper are one the most efficient to protect flags (right up there with Support). Yes I have less team point when I play Sniper, but that's because it is suicide to cap a flag by yourself as a Sniper if you have no claymore left. But I still cap flags when I can.

Because you usually get a high K/D ratio as a sniper, you actually help your team.... which is better... 40 kills for 34 deaths or 20 kills and 3 deaths? And I get that a lot lately with Sniper.

BTW, I play all the kits.... they all have they up side and down side, it is up to you to "exploit" the up side.

Good commander = Dead sniper

I really hate these idiots that rag on snipers. I mean seriously, it's an easy class, but it does require a good amount of school. As a sniper I can already rack up in to the top 3 in any heavy firefight map... one shot to the head does wonder for me. Best thing is a sniper can be right on the front lines...

Or you can look at those medics who go around resurrecting you in front of freaking apc's.

I read you, sorry for being too general. But like you say, it's an easy class which will attract lazy people (being general again). But like Buzerk1 said: 40 kills for 34 deaths or 20 kills and 3 deaths? And I get that a lot lately with Sniper.  That's just proving my point. I don't care how many deaths I have if I'm helping the team out. Killing 40 people and dying 34 times shows you've been giving it all to help your team out.

But I guess my arguements can be used about aviators killing 50 and dying 1 during a round as well. Anyway, just airing my arguements in a discussion.

That's where you are wrong, you should care about the number of time you die, because everytime you bring your team ticket down. I guess you didn't understood what I tried to point out.... if your differential is only 7 compare to 13 for the Sniper, then the Sniper did a better job then you did. As for the aviators, if they can pull a 50-1, I'm all for it, as long as they don't have a nice -23 in the team point (meaning they brought down their team ticket)

This game isn't for snipers unless the other team is are stetarded. pick the server, let me command and see how well you do. Period it's that easy. There is no stealth with a uav over your heads. Yes, it's that easy.

This is where close range snipers come in.

UAV and SCAN are useless against me.

Tell it to my Heli and the big red dot telling me where u are.

the knife part sounds like some hella statpadding there, but i do agree, some inexperianced snipers dont rack up the points, but just like noobs playing every other class

i have to disagree, i think, that if you are really well hidden, the UAV doesnt always pick you up, i dont know, but ive seen it happen before
