Sniper class an option to disable team spawns

[scarlet talon]

Its impossible to setup somewhere good and snipe because 11 year old teammates spawn on you and start shooting in the air, exposing your location leading to death within about 3 seconds

[ebon spade]

There was a suggestion for this already, the solution to your problem is to have squad leader kick people out and lock it, start your own squad with friends and lock it..

[scarlet talon]

LOL

[ebon spade]

what? 🐴

[ebon spade]

I'm sure what ever the bot removed was important and not a whole lot of stuff that could get you banned from the discord. 🤷‍♂️

[marsh cloud]

lol,
lmao

[thin pier]

hop squads for now, leave your squad and be solo until you need points or ammo box, then join a random squad

[worldly wedge]

Let me guess. your using an M200?

[thin pier]

imagine not using m200

[solid hull]

11 year olds do be really based nowadays

[worldly wedge]

Imagine out sniping snipers with LMG

[thin pier]

Yeah there are some bots out there

[daring dock]

Listen I don't want to spawn on @thin pier ever, but sometimes you just need to spawn on a crane and blow it up.

[marsh cloud]

I see a windmill

I am cheesed to meet it

3 x [NULL]

rinse and repeat

[daring dock]

Are you perhaps a dog on the internet?

[marsh cloud]

just a ratte

(my charges stick though, to the base of the windmill that the glintshitters are camping on)

[solid hull]

so youre telling me i can destroy windmills with something like c4 and kill snipers camping at the top of it in process?

👀

[vestal zinc]

yes

[marsh cloud]

I call this "TGD" or "total glintshitter death"

[marsh cloud]

that's correct

I think the best part is that it takes glintshitters some time to climb and get set up whereas it only takes an instant to destroy the tower

[solid hull]

very based, gotta give TGD a go next playtest

[daring dock]

The worst part is you don’t get the kills.

[marsh cloud]

you literally do

it's gotten to the point wehre I don't even bother checking if it's friendlies or enemies, I take the windmills down either way

[daring dock]

I’ve knocked down the crane on construction and haven’t gotten the kills from fall damage, weird.

[marsh cloud]

windmills kill in the same way buildings collapsing kill, I think you get credit in the same way

straight up fall damage I don't think will get you a kill

unless it finishes them off

[thin pier]

crane can be survived sometimes, even other places too if you latch onto falling parts. Maybe they lived? or it was teammates, I don't think you get kills if you teamkilled

[thin pier]

yea typically people fall around the cranes and windmills not get crushed by them

you prob don't get straight fall damage kills

[marsh cloud]

the windmills will straight up kill people on top and inside and give you credit

showed in the vids I posted

just like bringing a house down on someone

but fall damage you actually have to have damaged the person in order to get credit

[pearl cloud]

kek....

wait....

[thin pier]

high value contribution from you again

[pearl cloud]

does this post needs any?

[thorny narwhal]

Oof

[half zealot]

I been having issues with teammates just crouching in front of me on purpose and when i move to left or right they will do the same thing and have their character pointing at me as well not letting me be able to see. I told the guy to move and he reported me for toxic behavior, because i told him to get f out of the way and he wouldn't stop. This has happened on several occasion's. I just don't know why people would want to do that on purpose.

[thin pier]

report them for griefing. Good thing you haven't seen the teammates that blow up your tower/buildings or lay next to you spraying lmg nowhere just to give away your position

[solid hull]

Based people

[thin pier]

they get especially based when they get banned

[solid hull]

Worthy sacrifice for the greater good

[thin pier]

lol

I'd be down to try infantry only servers with no snipers if some community servers will have that

I'm sure a bunch of people will love that

and then they can stop griefing

[daring dock]

Standing in front of you sounds like a waste of time.

I use smokes instead.

[daring dock]

Not everyone can drop 70-0 though, half my snipers are sitting in spawn in rush attack.

[thin pier]

Yeah I get it, hopefully there is an option to disable classes in rented community servers, I don't really find it very fun playing infantry and dying to someone playing with one hand across the map. It can be ok depending on circumstances but on some rush maps even a good sniper is dead weight compared to someone decent with ak-74 and there aren't many good snipers, much less ones who can do both when sniping is sub-optimal. Even in any kind of competitive settings its cheesy to snipe, if you find a good position there really is no counter but another sniper, which is once again not that fun when you play infantry and just die from 300 meters away. If you try to push the annoying sniper you waste so much time away from objectives you lose the game... Not a fan of snipers myself in any competitive setting. Its only really fun for the guy who's sniping.

Widowmaker made overwatch a cancer to play for many seasons too, even though it was fun for the guy playing the character

Still, not a reason to grief sniper enjoyers in official servers

[daring dock]

Super true, in battfield the sniper class wasn’t even banned but it had all its gadgets banned and nobody could use a sniper effectively on such small maps.

[thin pier]

I'd say snipers and things like tanks/helicopters are fine for official servers, especially 250 player servers, but competitively and in more competitive game-modes like rush, can do without either of those

[daring dock]

I mean I was a little bird pilot is bf4 but I really have no drive to want to use vehicles in this game. Certainly more infantry focused, I love rush.

[thin pier]

I only play sniper atm because of the fps bug that makes my fps go down to like 130-180 from 400+ if I don't alt tab every 30 seconds or less, makes infantry unplayable. I'll do both when game comes out if the bug is fixed

def will play in sniper free servers when I'm playing infantry myself 😆

[daring dock]

I don’t mind snipers, I think there’s skill to it too. But the really good snipers are far and few between.

I don’t want Timmy two shoes going 5-1 in a 40 minute game while I throw myself at a bomb over and over.

Or a flag.

Or whatever it is.

[thin pier]

The gameplay issue in most games that have snipers, is that the only counter to a good sniper is usually a better sniper, since you can't just spray them when they're far away and often running all the way to some middle of nowhere or climbing the building and then going back to the objective is not viable. Its important for something not only to be fun, but fun to play against. Its not much of an issue, if at all, in big pub battlebit servers, but in any competitive setting snipers are usually cancer, either they suck and do nothing or make everyone have less fun and get annoyed while they can't really do much about it. I guess community servers will deal with it if more competitive game-modes or events are just more fun with CQC infantry only.

perhaps I just have widowmaker PTSD from high end overwatch ranked which turned the game into a tumor generator whenever it was a sniper heavy map. Have a worse sniper on your team and you just lose after getting headshot from across the map all game.

[proud swift]

well overwatch is..... overwatch. but there is definitely a counter to snipers that isn't another sniper in BB. unless they're camping in spawn which i agree is frustrating. you have to close the distance. they're only good when they have the range advantage unless they also have cracked close range head shot accuracy. and even then they have 1 shot so come with 2 people. if you cant get somewhere on the road because you're pinned down go around. locate them and flush them out. i know that is knot what everyone likes. but i think for a lot of people myself included thats part of the fun with these games. there are so many people there's a wide range of tactical challenges and they happen really often, a sniper is one of them. but yes if you don't want to go hunt them down then you're right there's no counters but another sniper.

[thin pier]

I was talking about more competitive settings such as scrims. In a scrim having people try and chase a sniper around the map in the middle of nowhere is a throw, so all you can do is hope you don't get hit or that your own sniper is better

[strong frigate]

did bro just call 180 fps in a roblox spinoff unplayable

[steep canyon]

An alternative solution would be to have the player class icon rather than just the dot so people know what class they're spawning on.

[chrome solstice]

This topic still exists? 💀

I wonder if OP ever realized that he can just make a squad and lock it to be all alone.
