My favorite thing to do as a pseudo-sniper is taking a low-zoom bolt action and counter-sniping.

If a cloaked guy kills me one time you can bet I'll be back looking for them. Smart ones will find another place to hide, the rest get hunted down.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Tried to play this game once. Chose sniper, saw an enemy chillin' out on top of the spire of of some fortress or other. Hit him four times with my gun, twice in the head, twice in the chest. He didn't die. Turned to me, fired with his assault rifle for like 1 second from a range I had trouble sniping at, killed me just like that.

In what world is an assault rifle better at doing what a sniper is supposed to do?

Were you using a semi-auto sniper rifle?

Those are terrible. Also, some assault rifles are really accurate. It's not impossible to accurately put down a bunch of fire at range, particularly if it's any 167 damage tier gun.

tbh that was my fault. I could have got him again, but I got greedy and tried to shoot him instead of waiting for him to spawn a vehicle or letting him go.



Body-shots deal practically no damage to people with nanoweave armor, especially arm or leg ones. Also, if you are too far away your damage falls off, and assault rifles are already known to be super accurate especially with 3.4x scopes like I use. :P If he was a light assault, he probably had a super accurate no recoil gun.

If he was purple, they dont get bullet drop.

I'm guessing that he:
1. Wasn't at a very far range (ARs are very viable up to 100m)
2. Didn't know that you can steady are Sniper Rifle with "shift"
3. Didn't hit all shot he thought he did. (The lowest damage default sniper is the VS's Spectre with 260 damage@200m, 4 shots to kill)

Flailing people to death with empty socks, though, that takes a lot of effort. Less so if the sock's made out of something interesting, but generally quite difficult.

His target could have been getting healed (or even just shield regen, if the shots were spaced far enough apart) or could have been a shielded heavy (although those don't get ARs, so that part would have to have been mistaken)...

Meanwhile an experienced player definitely can burst down an infiltrator from range in an instant, provided they get a few headshots.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Wouldn't this game be retarded if there was literally nothing to stop people from zerging to their heart's content?

Because SOE are doing spawn experiments on Connery (and Mattherson I think?) that allows anybody on a continent to spawn on any deployed sunderer on the entire continent.

I tried playing and getting a few kills for a few hours just now, but it turns out that the only thing going on was huge zergs avoiding each other.

This is the stupidest Planetside has been in recent memory.

I don't even get it. Being a zergling is crap for getting certs.

on Briggs, there are no good fights. It's all either the 46% pop NC zerging everything, or enemies spamming from fortified cliffs.

Am I the only one who likes zerging now and then? Foot zergs running to an enemy base feel kind of epic to me.

They're the only epic zergs IMO.
