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

    Fair 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

  • 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.
