For all you hill huggers...Places to sniper people

[huskay]

Basically in this thread im gunna or you are gunna write where the best places is to be without being seen that much.

this is also to help people constantly being spammed by a sniper, you can see if you can find it.:cool:



1. In Refinery the mountains surrounding it are the best just go on with a tank or any vehicle or and strogg vehicle and you can wander around the mountains and when the vehicle ramp hasnt been built and the thing hasnt been blown up you can easly go behind lines and get in there without being seen MUCH.

2. In Valley get in a anasi or bumblebee and get on top of any of the mountains but dont go on the the mountains to the nearest of the GDF base coz people know you there...or just do wherever you want to go...anywhere possible thats easly possible...if there is no planes...if you see me follow me :P

[|M|]

if your going to take tanks/desis, anansis/bees/torms and use them as taxis to get to far away mountains at least have the decency to destroy them so that you only monopolize them for under a minute, becuase otherwise they are a real waste just to get YOU to a mountain (some might even argue that you're a waste too, but im not one of them).

[huskay]

i norm use my own vehcile of which i called myself..husky...i use it coz people dont use THAT often so i just take it and most prob ill use it for a long time.

[Ifurita]

So, your post basically comes down to, "head for the hills". While probably true, it's not too terribly insightful

[Nogen]

Dear God, no. Candidate for worst thread? (not a winner but perhaps deserving of a nomination).

You don't use armoured vehicles as taxis and you don't waste time finding magic hard to find spots only to do 100damage per minute to the opposition. If you must snipe do it on the way to something more useful.

[huskay]

Too late man, you just shouldn't start it. But if there is some decent sniping spot some sniper have found do you think they'd tell you? Only to find that place crowded in 1-2 days tops.

Like try to push a drone through that vent shaft on salvage to take out 1-2 sniping GDFs in the room above the salvage? And its usually 1-drone-2-kills job. They are actually sitting IN the vent blocking everybody's else drones. Try to kill the disarming engie this way - no chance!

[Teopeo]

The last objectives on Sewer is a good spot, you even get a hack objective. And no, I don't mean on the hills.

[Kalbuth]

The best place is the one you just moved from after getting a kill. I'm too often guilty of staying glued on one spot when I should be moving and really supporting the team.
The usefullness of sniper is measured by how many HB users he has headshot to relieve a GDF assault.

There's 1 spot on Refinery I really like for aim training, but... I'm not too keen on showing it, even though ofc I assume most decent player know it already :) (it's not very special, tbh, just offers rather good view combined with decent coverage)

[BigJim]

If we're taking Valley as the example, imo the two best spots for a tank are on top of the hill that has the MCP tunnel running through it (to cover the MCP as it approaches the outpost) and on the hill that (from the GDF point of view) overlooks the generator hack to the right.

(Note: Spamming the Strogg spawn to the right of this pic is not condoned)

Both of these objectives can often become bogged down if your team is slow on the attack - a decent Strogg defence can have oodles of turrets deployed before you know it, particualrly the MCP obj, where if you're unlucky enough to break down just on the small ramp that leads to the outpost, you need to run the gauntlet of enemy fire *and* APTs in order to repair the MCP, and then bear the brunt of the AVTs and Cyclops/Dessi fire once it's fixxored.


From those high perches a titan can clear a corridor for your team mates to complete the obj, and clear out the turrets with relative impunity unless some on the ball stroggs team up to come & get you with icarii (icarusses?).

Add to that a perfect viewpoint to detect incoming attacks to yourself - and a single engie in a Titan can single handedly turn around the course of the game, well, at least for those two objectives at any rate, but of course with the caveat that all the support in the world does you no good unless somebody gets on with actually completing the obj.. :)

[Seanza]

I think this thread to be pic heavy. Spots looking from the location and spots looking toward the location.

[BigJim]

When i opened this thread i imagined it being about positive helpful sniping- so a made a image so it could be-

This is a spot i use on quarry, its pretty important to not show where you are until the strogg have planted, then when all the engineers come to disarm start blasting away.

This tends to work well against Eng teams that disarm loads, sometimes quarry can be harsh in the first stage.

Also this is sniping, helping at an objective. This same sort of thing can be done at many out door objectives, sooooo PEOPLE plz post you fav spots and help bad snipers make a good snipers today!!!!

Hey buddy,can You see the large tree on the other side of the silo.Well,that is my position when playing Cov.Ops.Good choice when stroggs like You are aroud;)

[DarkOps]

Sniping in the hills is pretty much useless and always has been. Its a dead giveaway to enemy counter snipers and enemies with vehicles, plus its usually too far away for a 1 shot kill these days. Ground level sniping is the most effective because it gives you more options to move around and it can be harder to pinpoint the location/area of the sniper.

[Abedeus]

Hehe. Ops, you are too pessimistic/optimistic. Coverts/infils usually don't even deploy a Radar, not mentioning trying to take down enemy hillhugger... And a good sniper can kill from a 300-400m range, so hillhugging is still nice. But yeah, sniper at melee = win.

[StarBerry]

quite refreshing..

[urdead]

If i see anyone using a Torm/Anansi or even a freaking tank as a taxi, i sure as hell will try to teamkill them before they can do it again.

NO ONE has the right or excuse to TK anyone just because they don't like what they're doing. The best choice you have is to leave the server.
