snipers versus medics.. Oh boy what has the world come to now these days.

snipers will beat medics assuming they make only head shots, or else the medics will self heal themselves and retaliate.

but then again, there is no point of chasing a sniper into a building since they claywhore like mad.

but then again, medics can revive each other.

in reality, the battle can go either way.

So I guess I have some takers.

I would be willing to use a sig custom designed by claywhores: if the medics lose.

i think you're thinking of those snipers who get too close and dont use cover.. the same ones who'll drop a claymore in CQC cos they cant effectively use their sidearm or knife..

but myself.. and a few others that i play with regularly.. you wont see us.. all you'll see is:

SpawnoftheMist [L96A1] You
dont_be_ss [L96A1] The guy beside you
Mj.Blindfisch [L96A1] The medic trying to revive you
Entertainer_06 [M95] some guy on Ghost Town when we're playing wake

TrueArchon: Enemy Sniper..." *BOOM* "Nevermind... got him...; +61|7192|Las Vegas, NV USA

Hmm... medics vs. snipers? Somehow I don't see that turning out in a way that a lot of people would first think.

Sure a pair of medics can have some predictable results, especially with the revive and self heal capability. However, snipers have a really good kill capability, especially when paired together. Headshots aren't nearly gonna be as important as two body shots in rapid succession. Couple that with particularly nasty combinations of semi-auto sniper rifles and very accurate, powerful bolt actions, medics reviving their medic companions are gonna have more than they originally bargained for.

Mind you, I like the medic kit. I really do! However, trying to compare the two in usefulness by trying to single them out against each other is kinda pointless as an effort to show which is best. Because, frankly, it's not a very realistic way to prove which is better in a game where there are another five kits, four team roles (cmdr, SL, SM, and lone), fourteen weapon unlocks, many booster pack specific weapons, hundreds of pieces of equipment (i.e. vehicles, weapon implacements, tactical gear/weapons), and almost thirty different maps. Oh yeah, and what about the ability to swap kits from dead players?

As whilsky has said, it would be entertaining to watch, but in the end, it'd prove nothing.

I have to agree that this is a mismatch, snipers will wipe the floor with you and our claymores.

Seriously, medic is probably the best single kit in the game in matches like these, you'd never be able to kill them. You should do a sniper v. assault, that'd be fair.

And snipers aren't useless, I've gotten the gold on a full Karkand server beating all the armor whores as a sniper.

Any good sniper wouldnt let a guy get close enough to use his gun, but in the small areas I've become efficient enough with a pistol to take on a machine gun wielding grunt and be the victor.

Accuracy and speed is all thats needed.

BornToKill67: It's a good day to die; +18|7258|Canada Eh?

Medics vs. Snipers is an unfair match. You got a kit with the ability to heal anyone and revive your teammates, and you got another kit who has a really long range weapon and a shitty pistol. If it was assault vs. snipers then I would consider joining... I'll be on the sniper's team.

Very true but its speed most snipers lack. I can get a guy with my pistol from time to time but i usually rely on clays to protect my ass.

No it wouldn't....here is my logic.

Snipers only use is indescrutable explosives. Cheap kills. This evens out by your squad members having revive and heal capabilities.

No vehicles this goes to the sniper because you can't just hop in a hummer and get out of the range of fire.

Assault has nothing to counter the snipers cheap ass flag defends.

Maybe its not the best way to prove utter worthlessness, but its a good way to prove their use for the believers. (which I am openly doubting).

Gold medal or not (which doesn't always mean you win the game, mind you:) IMO, a team is ALWAYs better off without them. Its an entertainment class, sure its fun to play once in a while, but the contributions are very limited.

Add in vehicles and other classes, and you have a class that doesn't amount to much.

Mainly I'm just sick of hearing about the almighty snipers. Masstur turned into a joke because its all snipers and they are all crowed around the same spots trying to be the unseen ghost killers. It really is a laugh. For a winning team you pretty much just pick the one with less snipers (unless the team is horrid.)

About what? the 1/1 thing? No, I am certain I can move close to a sniper and he would be able to do a thing about it even if he sees me. Its all in how you move. As well, if I have any other kit than sniper of engineer, I use the following:

Fire for cover
Run (zig zag, change speed, change direction)
Cover
Fire for cover

I do apply does tactics in game and rarely get killed by snipers. At one point I will be in killing distance and than my rate of fire will win the battle.

One more thing:

This could be pretty fun or an utter raping. Either way, I like the sig idea. I'd be willing to take the abuse of wearing a sig of utter anihilation (resposible for the entire team.)

I think designating a leader of the snipers to do the same would be fun (Nyte comes to mind.)

This is providing, of course, we get some volunteers that are willing to put up a fight so as not to sabatoge the other team. Also I can't design sigs, I'd have to get somone to make a good one.

We need 2 captains. I think this should be left up to the topic starter. They need to agree on a host,time,map, and player amount. I think there should be a nuetral observer on each side..to make sure no commanders..etc.

Anyways PM me 908741059871059781 if you need a med. I have a pretty good amount of time with that kit.

Towelly: It's A State Of Mind; +399|7189|Your attic

Depends look at this

https://img525.imageshack.us/img525/2510/screen0066vy.jpg

Yea I'm proud and all, but the fact is that the expert sniper takes 35 kills IAR, now I didn't even know I was able to get it, I was just having a decent round, but 35+ kills in a round is fair by any kits standards, and yes, I did it with my entire kit that DICE gave me, claymores, grenades, pistol and of course the rifle.
What I'm trying to say is that a good sniper can make a real contribution to a team, and often you won't see it, I've lost count of the times I've shot guys that where just about to mow down one of my team mates, the amount of KD assists you get as a sniper (running headshots are not easy, no matter what anyone says) is massive, just think how many times you've managed to kill a guy in one single shot, chances are a sniper has had a go at him first.

I'm not really into long range camping on city maps(says the guy on top of construction ) capping flags as a sniper really isn't to hard, lay down your clays. If no-one comes to stop you then those clays stay there for a while in defence, if someone does come chances are they get hammered in the face with shrapnel, so I then pick up there kit and try and take anything else that comes. Sure a medic is useful, so is a support guy, but alot of you don't see that a good sniper can have more of a positive effect then you think.
