The reason some people don't want snipers nerfed is because there are some genuinely good snipers out there. However, it's filled to the brim with hard-scopers. Sniping takes gun skill, shotguns take movement skill.

Good sniping takes gun skill and good shot gunning takes movement skill. Camping with either weapon does not take skill

Edited by CJ: 4/2/2016 5:44:38 PMFair enough. Being a good sniper is usually held higher because it's not an "aim and shoot" weapon type to the extent of shotguns. I'd say they take [i]almost[/i] the same amount of skill to use.

I give good snipers credit. Some of them have amazing stick control to pull off some of their shots. I enjoy using the run and gun style so I personally prefer shotgun. It usually takes me a minute or two to get a feel for how the other team is going to play so I can figure out how to flank their snipers with my shotgun. It was easier prior to the range and accuracy nerf of shotguns but it is definitely still a viable okay style. I need a doctrine to pair with it so I can get tea bagged even more :). People like to tea bag after they kill me right before I get the shotgun shot off even though I just killed their teammate or two prior to my demise.

I'm always irritated by shotgunners only because they tend to run after you a lot, especially with high-RoF ones like Invective.

Yep, I only follow if I know what primary you are using with your sniper. I don't follow people using doctrine or last word. I like the iron banner shotgun. Invective use to be awesome but it has zero range now. Party crasher is what I see most good shot gun users using.

I will turn on you and throw a tripmine on your face if you follow me with a shotgun. xD

I have had that happen. All is fair :)! Nice talking to you!

Same to you. Good day m8!

The ones that are good at sniping will always be good at it. Right now anyone can pick one up be 5 feet away and pull off double and triple downs making them think they are gods with snipers LOL. I see a rude awaking for those that only think they know how to snipe.
