Make sure to bring lots of med packs, our 64 player beach server is intense!

Sniping being cheap? Sorry, but being a sniper you make a lot of sacrifices. First off, you don't get as many points. Even though points shouldn't matter, it still happens. Also, I still never see it being cheap. Where we play, having a superb sniper on your team can really turn a game around. The way you become an excellent sniper is by practicing on public servers. Practicing on huge 64 player servers is really beneficial because you have more targets to shoot at than on smaller servers. This helps in a lot of ways. Also, sniping is fun in general, and there is nothing wrong with that either. Sniping is a part of the game, so learn to deal with the people who do it. Nothing wrong against them. Anyways, how I see it, that one person will not make a difference in getting / fighting off defense to get the docs. <sarcasm> I mean, as you call them, they are noobs right? What can they do? <sarcasm>

When I am an allied player, I start as a sniper and right after a foothold is gained by my team, I switch to a Lt. drop the rifle, pick up a machine gun, and head up the stairs. Next spawn-Lt. It is necessary though to keep a sniper or two on post b/c it keeps the axis heads down and they do not stay in open areas for a long time!

Snipers are not as bad as they seem, ecspecially on allies, how many of you get frustrated when you are standing there in the bunker or around the top of it and trying to call an airstrike or something and you get hit by that sniper, you get pissed right?, then you state you are going sniper hunting or you are going to clear the beach, I have seen many say this including myself, but that sniper keeps getting you on your way out there, so then you keep trying the whole game [sometimes] because you are really pissed now!!

So that cheap, shitty, useless, sniper has just taking you and made you just as useless, because you are constantly running out on the beach trying to get him when you could be attacking on top or in war room:ar15: :ar15:

And I think it is helpfull when you have people who snipe alot because you get the ones who really are useless trying to get docs and just getting in the others way, when they do best if they just stay out thee on the beach:flame:

Well that is just my opinion:D

We need more snipers. Snipers in the ducts, Snipers in the stairwells, Snipers in the war room and snipers in the MURDERHOLE.
I dont know about you, but that word, MURDERHOLE makes me laugh. Makes me think of a girl who's had too many abortions. MURDERHOLE. Sorry if thats too harsh for ya, Just being honest.

Thats my two cents.

Finding an opposing sniper and fragging the same guy time after time, with the fellow tying really hard to get you, is a hoot!

I would ask the sniper doubter's to spend a little time spec'ing some of the better snipers..ie ming...xtreme.. Raven...PL Master..Buddy Lunker (to name a few) or maybe even myself to see if snipers are a benefit or not...or if they have any skill

An informed and educated decision/opinion...is an intelligent decision/opinion.

Who do you think helps keep that top shelf (above the ladder) clear...keeps the top of the net clear....keeps the top ledge above the bottom stairs clear...so you can get to the WR...How many have not made it back to the WR because you got damaged or killed by a sniper going up the ladder to the Radio room...or hit/killed by the radio tower...I don't practice nor defend spawn killing...

If you havent been hit by a panzer in the trench's then you haven't been playing very much...happens all of the time but would happen more without snipers...

If you would like to limit something how about limiting how many axis are camping in or around the WR.....Yes I know the whole point of the game centers around the docs...but what if EVERY axis player went to the WR...they couldnt be beat...but what fun would that be...

Sniping requires practice ....and skill. For those who don't like us...just try to kill us...without TK'n

I'm sniping less than before but I have to say that sniping is useful. It clears the way outside, just like Cheezehead said. I can easily get 30-40 kills in a round when I'm sniping, wich signify that 30-40 more axis would have been in you way on top of the ladder, and most of those kills are panzer, so it would cause a lot of damage if they arent killed. Limit sniper is a very stupid idea.

Snipers help keep the Panzerfaust/Goomba crew under control (along with the odd Venom sitting atop the wall above the stairs). Two good/skilled snipers can do a nice job on the
Axis, but too many more than that is a waste of resources (they would do better going in).

I would have to say that a couple of good snipers are invaluable. I have been killed with one head shot will jumping up on the bunker and never even got the panzer off from some of the better snipers.

I think the problem that people are complaining about is when there are 6 or seven snipers with little skill on the beach while the rest of the allies are barely making out of the trenches.

Personally I find sniping boring but some people are really good at it and I would hate that they could not get a sniper rifle because some noob has it and they are limited to 2. That already happens with the panzer and is probably why the team can't get out of the trenches. Soom noob is firing the panzer from the bunker door.

I tried sniping I was good pretty easy after getting my keys right, better to have em close instead of using z for zoom, I have to tell you I was bored in 3 minutes, I would rather walk around the table in the war room, or knife fight in war room, the sniper is a waste of ping after the wall falls period, and as for the goomba guys like look up when you run up the steps, or right by them, saw so many go in front of me that weren't paying attention, I love the goomba guys, and I stand there on purpose all the time for an easy goomba for them, f the shittey snipers hope you all day by tk :P
