Ok, I'm officially sick of hearing sniper this, sniper that, all the stupid ass sniper guides, claywhoring guides, and how good and useful they are. HOGWASH!!! They only use they have is the occasional headshot or claymore flag defend. I truly feel that they offer little to no contribution to winning a game (even the best ones.) SO....

I propose a match--- medics vs snipers. No vehicles, no other classes, and no commander.

Any takers?

That is a complete miss match. The medic over powers the sniper anyday of the weak, plus with the ability to "self heal" they would be able to survive any inaccurate headshot! I mean even at range the medics G36E can take down a bad sniper!!!

I beg to differ.

No contribution to the team?
Hmm,yesterday I got 27/1 on Wake,the day before that 35/5,all with the sniper rifle,claymores and handgrenades.I even got a silver star as a sniper in those rounds,with all the J-10 whores on the map.
So I guess the headshot is rather frequent than occasional....and having such a nice K/D ratio is a contribution to winning!

And what's with the bullshit idea snipers vs medics?
You need unlimited health and buddies to revive you to beat a sniper?
Pffffff.........

all the snipers wud be camping on a hill, whilst all the medics wud be sticking together with ther packs out, so any hits will just be healed within a few seconds, and capping the flags.

then wen all flags are capped, this huge cloud of medics will swarm on the snipers and annihilate em.

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

That would be cool but very one sided for against the snipers. Although is it was karkand and the snipers were MEC they could just claymore spam EVERYTHING so medics couldn't cap any flags.

Off course they offer contribution to their team. I have not a lot, but most of my defending CP points, I made with the sniper rifle. To prevent the team of loosing a CP is, in my opinion, more than a little contribution to the team...

apples and oranges

Every class has its strengths and advantages. Snipers do very well for flag defends and to slow down enemy squad movement around the map, and if claymore friendly fire is off, 1-2 snipers can defend a flag as well as anyone.

Go play a sharqi server with FF off and 1-2 snipers and a support guy defending the TV station.

Nope the snipers will tag team the medics, shooting everybody twice to make sure there dead.

The medic wepons are good, but your not going to effectively engage multiple snipers that are 400m away witch you cant even see because your scope is not powerfull enough.

I am a full time sniper. In a one on one combat snipers will lose against every kit but engineer. In a game situation, the focus is not 100% on the snipers that is when they can contribute best to the team.

I think eventually the snipes will get raped. It would probably seem even at the start but there will be 1 or 2 snipers that will get hammered. Those unlucky enough to have to spawn into a crowd of the enemy shouting "FIRST AID RIGHT HERE!" will be doomed.

Hmm,depends on the situation and distance.I could kill some assault and spec ops arriving at the beach on Wake.
One handgrenade and then finished them off with the rifle - but from the moment I threw the handgrenade I was walking backwards,you need as much distance as possible,otherwise they can go fullauto on your ass.

And the engineer is not a person I wanna meet up close when I'm a sniper,when they have the Jackhammer they always get me.

one major factor we are missing out is the fact that us snipers will run out of ammo before the medics

Snipers can help just as much as any other kit in bf2.

i'll take a snipers versus another kit who dont need fucking medkits cos they'll just get headshotted anyway.. and they'll all be revived so they'll have 0 deaths.. this is all mr serial number wants..

a screenshot with him on 0 deaths (due to revives) and all us snipers with deaths..

the only way to shut up a sniper is to outsnipe him / her

Up close yes, but what if there was only two players on the whole map? The sniper would win every time no matter what kit the other was using.

In this senario though i think a group of good snipers should hold their own, but it sure wouldn't be easy. The medics would have to get through a minefield of claymores, and that's only the ones who get close enough. The G36e can't pick off a sniper at 250m+ at least not consistantly. I guess a revive-rush would probably get though in the end though. Meh.

This would be so cool to watch, play the game, i wanna know who wins, the two classes have such unique abilities it would be good. I'm un biased personaly as both classes are needed in the field. play play play
Snipers v medics excellent claymores and med packs for all!!!!!!!

I'm getting a little too excited "big cheesey smile"

I disagree with you. 1/1 they have rate of fire and mobility. If a sniper tries to counter snipe me, movement is my friend, rarely will I get killed. It is just to hard to hit someone moving if he knows how to evade properly ( I no I do). So effective range for the sniper will diminish rapidly and you will find yourself in the kill zone of every weapon exept shotguns. Than its is pestol/nades/clays against a G3? No chance

Key factors here:
Rate of fire
Distance
Armour

All against snipers
