Snipers Ruined MAG.

I went out this morning and purchased MAG on my way to work, and thought when I came home I would play it. I pop it in, and naturally there is always some kind of patch. So I start playing, and start gunning down people with my assault rifle, and the I notice I get picked off by a sniper. Meh, no big deal, I spawn with my sniper rifle to take him out, and then I look up on a ridge, and see roughly 12 snipers, picking people off left and right. Camping at it's best. I worry about what MAG has already become, a sniper heaven, which little people can move without being shot. Sure, 256 players is fun as hell, but I can't help but to feel like snipers will be the death of MAG for many.

Reminds me a long time ago when I played TFC on 2fort, there would always be like 5-6 snipers on the battlements. Good times as a soldier could easily rocketjump up there and kill all of them.

Too bad you can't drop a laserguided bomb on them or something.

yeah sorry bout that

I wouldn't be mad if it wasn't so easy to snipe people.

Like in KZ2 where sniping actually requires some skill?

if you played the open beta you would have realized this and saved yourself 60 bucks

When did I ever complain about money or about not liking it? I'm simply stating the snipers will be what turns a lot of people away from this game. I never once stated I regretted buying it.

1.smoke bomb

2. get your squad mate to drive an APC and stay behind it or ride a vehicle

3. Artillery Strike

4.Vehicle

5. grenade

6. Find another route

Why don't they just have a certain amount of slots per team? Example, only 3 people can be the sniper class at any given time. First come, first served basically. I think there should be limits for all classes, with primairly infantry having the most slots.

This would solve the problem I believe.

TC..Thats the nature of the business. Snipers are always going to be a part of the problem. I am normally one of them.:)..You have to learn to either get around them, get better than them or just dont play. On a side note, I feel like maybe the snipe gun should be a thing of the past BECAUSE of these problems.

Snapplers

This doesn't make sense to me. If the entire team wants to be snipers, let them. They will never take over any areas or move forward in the battlefield. All you really have to do to take down a group of snipers like the TC is complaining about is flank them by going around and then you have 12 guys to knife in a row while they are all looking through their scopes.

I don't see how this is any big news. I've been hearing the same thing since Counter Strike.

yeah radar skill. lol radar + stealth = ownage in some of kz2's maps.

i think COD's sniper is thehardest to use. it requires to hold a extra button to steady it. in other games (MAG and KZ2), sniper gun is very steady and they dont require to hold another button to steady it.

In the beta, there were a bunch of snipers, you just have to get used to the maps and take em out nicely. Snipers are pretty easy to take out especially is you have a tank to blow em up with.

The maps are so cluttered with stuff that you can just find a nice little place of your own to camp and pick them off lol...

The REAL problem is not snipers but people takin this game too seriously.....get a group of people, have a party, have fun, instead you got some people who take stuff too seriously. Its a battle sim ofcourse you're gonna get sniped, its a huge map every snipers wet dream. So you got sniped find an alternate path, zig zag your way, cover to cover. Flank the dudes call in an airstrike, give your squad / platoon leader some feedback tell him where you're getting hit. For chrissakes do something man, this aint a run and gun game you want that COD:MW2 is your best bet. But dont diss the game cuz it aint COD:MW2. I see people whining all the time over forums and on team chat instead of giving feedback to the leader where they want strikes etc. they get killed then blame the leader who's in the chaos getting himself killed, then they lose it, diss the leader, diss the game, and post on a forum. Thats why you need a mic for the full experience. I mean the idea is teamwork so FEEDBACK people !!!!! And whats with everyone joining SVER !?!

You might as well stop playing online shooters like, KZ2,GRAW,RB6,BF,COD and every other shooter out there. I don't like snipers myself(I like being in the middle of the conflict)''BUT" it's apart of the game...learn to adapt or stop palying.

I wish I would have seen this post before I replied!!! BRAVO:P

This just interests me more. I love hunting down snipers. Adds a new challenge to FPS's. Haven't got MAG yet though.

I think the class limitation would work quite well. Look at Day Of Defeat: Source, they only allowed 3 snipers per team (normally), and the game was actually balanced.

In respone to the title of this hread - NO. Not for me, at least. It's fun to snipe, get counter-sniped, then go back and snipe them again. It's all part of the fun, man.

There is always, no matter what game, a certain satisfaction in knifing a sniper who is looking through his scope.

I wouldn't knife a sniper,a shotgun blast to the back of the head is more my style.:)
