Well this game last night was a welcome surprise. So used to playing scrubs that don't know their mouth from their other holes. But damn, Aj your just too good with that damn rifle. You got that pin point accuracy and then Lyufl (pls excuse my spelling, I'm probably massacring your name) and his tactician prowess certainly made playing certain game types hell.

Fun games with you guys last night. Looking forward to playing again tonight. I think Saboteur is my new favorite class. :D

:lol Cake your awesome man.

I played a game this morning of 8vs8 and I swear at least 90% of the other team were Sabs. I came close to screaming some serious profanity at 5am.

I'm a sab player myself and *i* get annoyed by other sabs. Unless they are using the rifle and not the smg. Then it's just a free kill. :p

Is there a freaking map in this game where snipers are consistently useful and impact the result of the game? Most of the time, they just seem useless... collecting random single kills here and there. In PR you can guard the plant sites from a distance pretty well, but in a game mode like S&D or when you gotta hold an area, picking another class would be so much more useful for the team. Snipers annoy me in most FPSs though. Oh, and stop blocking doorways, snipers!! Argh.

good snipers are very versatile, they can be invisible for s&d missions, hiding out in a place and popping some magnum rounds to the defuser when everyone thinks there's no one left, or find a good vantage point to pop him with sniper rifle from distance. He can go invisible and hide near their base in assassination and sneak over to kill the target. He can go invisible in the capture mode and hold down an area well.

Basically his cloaking allows him to do a lot that other classes won't be able to do, you just need to have someone good with a magnum.

Or just kill someone who has a shotgun or AR and then you are at least as good as every other nonAssault class but also benefit from being cloaked and having what ever secondary you want (C4 for close range traps, or boost for getting out of sticky situations).

I would be all for this style of play IF that's how snipers actually played. While I still think another assaulter would be more useful overall, I respect the fact that people play how they want and that it's just for fun. That doesn't change the fact that I think they are mostly useless because this isn't a round based game. Sometimes that fact is lost on people and they don't realize that killing me just stops me for a handful seconds. In round based FPSs, then snipers have MUCH more value - when I die, then I'm out and it's easier for my enemies to complete the objectives and win the round. Stopping me for a handful of seconds usually won't matter much, and at the same time, the sniper isn't helping his team get the objectives.

Sniper value is also minimized by the mobile spawn points and the small sizes (relatively speaking) of most maps. If the respawn timer was, say, 15 or 30 seconds, then that'd matter as well. I dunno, maybe I just haven't come across a good sniper yet. The snipers I've come across tend to finish with something like 10 kills, 2 deaths and near the bottom in points. Oh, and they block doorways!

anyone know how much damage a single C4 does? and if you put 2 right next/over each other, does that double the damage?

2 C4 kills a normal class, 1 takes half damage, but you need 4 to take down the assault class, 3 won't do it.

You have the greatest luck in the world. Last night I downed you right before you delivered the propaganda speaker and it said you delivered it such bullshit.

yup, they "stack". 1 doesn't kill most people, but when i throw all 3 down (often right on top of each other), that always works. Sometimes 2 will do it, if they are at half health. I'm sure someone knows the exact damage it does. I get so many c4 kills that I just can't ever choose another secondary, even though I think health packs would be useful (hate running around with half health).

ok good. i thought maybe i was really bad at placing C4 as they kept on NOT killing people.

EDIT: had second part of question answered by the poster right above. thanks.

I also like the idea of putting all 3 right over each other too. That way, if 1 goes off, they all go off and you can replace them instead of only being able to place 1 and probably not getting kills off of it.
Also, is there a C4 limit per team, or is it per person? seems like per person to me.

I've actually had great fun shooting from the hip with the sniper rifle. Takes a lot of practice to get down I suppose (complete lack of crosshairs will do that), but it's lethal.

Per person. I'm surprised that more people don't use C4. Once you get to know the maps, it's very effective at protecting your back or protecting an objective. No one ever looks out for it (myself included).

They can't kill someone with full health. Better to place them head-high (for the headshot) in doorways, rather than on the ground. Also, don't place them where grenades tend to go off.

it never worked for me, I always put 3 at the doorway in Radec Academy and watch the assault class go right through them, always have to give a couple of shots to take him down.

Hmm... I've planted something like 1500 c4s down in this game, and I never considered placing them higher for a headshot. Good idear!

Placement matters. Depending on how you group them, the last in the chain might've been set off by one of the previous ones going off instead of the person actually tripping it.

In which case, he wouldn't take the brunt (if any) of the damage from the 3rd.

edit:
That's if it even went off at all considering the now fixed C4 dud bug and that if you throw it, it'll sometimes clip through the environment and won't be able to be set off anyway.

I used to put them on the walls inside doorways, but I got most of them just laying them on the ground next to each other.

So what exactly is head level relative to the camera? Would placing it on the top of the door frame as aj suggested give a headshot explosion?

Actually, I have no idea if putting C4 at head level works as a headshot. I don't recall ever seeing a headshot icon next to the C4 icon when i get a kill. I did get enough ribbons by playing a pistols only match on Radec.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I never felt like such a newb before, running around with my dorky defibrillator getting jacked up by dudes in ISA Halloween costumes. Frustrating as hell! :lol

lol I like to yell out "trick or treat?!" when I'm about to get a kill as sab.
But then again, you might also hear me with "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" with the grenade launcher. :lol

it wont get you an actual headshot but it seems to do more damage than on the ground and its also very unlikely someone is gonna spot it since they expect it to be on the floor:D
