In the good old days, all you had to do is chuck a nade up there and...BOOM.  All gone.  This is some peoples idea of skill and kit usefulness.

I would much rather see a no sniper option then a No Vehicles option I know have had more game ruined by useless pieces of shit want-a-be sniper's than I ever will have ruined by a Vehicle whores. Is there anything worst than having 10 fucking snipers on your team. And then I love it when your last man left is a sniper on a building somewhere were he could just jump down and get a flag because there is no one near him but no he is fucking oblivious to the going's on in the game why because he is a useless pile of shit sniper. The only thing that snipers are good for is knife kills.

what  snipers have you been playing with??...obviously not any good ones............

Most of these type of threads insist claymores take no skill.  They are somewhat right.  But.... neither does throwing 50 grenades at the start of Karkand without seeing one enemy.  Or....  Charging headlong into a fight, getting hit and hiding behind a dumpster to heal yourself.  Or.....Sitting 10 meters from 4 spawn points in a tank that takes at least three missle hits to destroy.  Or..... laying mines in choke points, etc.....

Snipers use what they have available to them.  Smart placement of claymores in high traffic sneak paths and not where an enemy tank will set them off takes some thought and patience.  I agree with Arson that they should be destructable but I disagree with his/her statement that this is the main offensive weapon.  I usually pull two kills from the two claymores I place (F**cking support guys are like cops...)  The other 10-12 kills come from the end of my M95.

i see alot of snipers who are last men left too and they just stay ontop of their building waiting for the other team to hunt them down. while our team is yelling at him "GO CAP A BASE" he just sits there.

Easy solution turn off claymore FF and there wont be as many claymores in infantry only servers.

Why are people defending snipers?  What the fuck does that have to do with the question?  It would be and OPTION, just like Infantry Only.  Nobody will be forcing you to play it.

Because there's no point in having a no sniper option.

If you want one, then I'll say this. I want a no medic option, because I'm sick of getting revived right in front of a fucking tank, right after said fucking tank put a shell in to my face.

Oh, and how about a no anti tank option? I'm sick of getting eryxd on kark, or getting barraged with those pesky missles when I'm whoring up the armor.

Quit whining about what kills you.

Your problem is with claymores, and that has been gone over way too many times.

Shut the fuck up.

Why can't people who PAY for servers have whatever the hell they want in it?

because there's a stats system on ranked servers and it's intended that those stats are kept reasonably fair.

Didn't think about that.

Agreed.

And no...most snipers wouldn't want the clays to give team damage becuase then they wouldn't be able to throw them around like Johnny fricking Appleseed anymore..."What...? Lay down something that might actually kill ME?!?!...ARE YOU NUTS?!?"

IMHO, mines AND claymores should NEVER have a FF "off" switch, but if you get killed by them, you can't punish a teammate....'nuff said. Maybe THEN all the stupid teammates would actually LOOK for that big freaking skull and crossbones instead of running over my mines and then punishing me...AND groups of 4-5 snipers wouldn't be able to lay 12 claymores around a flag and run around them like they were petunias.

Friendly Fire on, no team punish.

Now THERE'S my perfect server.

And ANYONE that plays sniper and says they "owned" someone with the sniper rifle...guess what...you never did. Yeah, I said it.
Bring it on.

Cup out.

Ha ha, you make me chuckle!  I can well and truly say I owned atleast 20 people today.. Here's a couple of examples..

1. A guy running along the arty island towards a boat at 350 yards away got a bullet to the brain

2. A guy on mash, running around the corner from mosque.. Bunny hopped, then pronespammed and then got one in the face.

3. Z-10 raping zeh carrier... Bye bye pilot...



Care for any more?

God damn you sarge. I say the same thing in all the other arguements about ROE this, infantry that, and then someone else says and people magically get it through their heads.

Wow.

Wwooww...

Keep your fucking panties on and stop being a tit.  I forget about the "fairness" of the ranking system.  Pfffttt.

LOL, people are worried about that?!

Yep, good ole' days with one grenade would clear that all out...

... or, one enemy player triggering ALL THOSE CLAYMORES AT ONCE!




Amateur placement, I tell ya.... tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.  If that is what everyone is worried about, then it's much worse than I originally thought.

Let's break it down to what is really bothering people:

Someone did something a bit sneaky, and booby-trapped a place that you thought you were going to be safe in.  It resulted in your death.  The sniper that killed you from beyond your visual range?  Sneaky, and you thought you were safe, but you died.  The AT mine that you didn't see on the other side of the hill?  Sneaky.  No safe zone here.  C4'ing the flag, or your favorite jet (a favorite of mine)?  Sneaky.  Took you out of your safe zone.  Surrounded by your nice comfortable armored shell in the tank, and blown up by a jihad-jeep?  Sneaky.  Once again... no safe zone.  The sniper sitting all safe, away from the main fighting, shanked with a knife, or arty dropped on his head?  Sneaky.  No home-safe-home feeling.

It's all an issue on how you feel safe, and how someone ruined that feeling of "safety."  Could it all be a screwed up "nature vs. nurture" issue?  Did the dark world of nature rip you from your comfortable, safe, nurture world?  Are we all suppose to play the game old-time, military fashion?  Line up our armies on opposing hills, and then charge to the middle of the battlefield in honorable, face-to-face combat?

I love this line, and I'm gonna change it to something more befitting to the current topic:

THERE'S NO CRYING IN BATTLEFIELD 2!

After all, it's all a part of the game, and how it was originally intended to be played.  Whine about something that screws up how the game is being played through cheating.  Like hackers and bug-exploiters.

Wow, I really need to cut back on my daily dose of sarcasm.

they can put a no sniper option in if they add a no medic option, and a no at option, or no support or specops

Just turn FF on and them claymores will blow up a couple friendlies and the punish happy people are going to get the claymore spammer kicked. I dont mind a few well places claymores but sometimes the whole thing gets ridicoulous. Claymore-palooza ever since servers dont have FF on.
