Since when is Osniping the capper considered *bad*

what the eff are you talking about
is your spacebar broke or , are you , just that , retarded
your opinion is wrong and shazbotty because it doesnt improve pubs at all but makes them even more shazbottier
i would rather kill myself than agree with a jerktard of highest caliber(you)

STFU BluBlaze. That type of elitest, holier than thou attitude that makes me and many others want to puke.

What a joke watching some of you self proclaimed vets making new rules as you go along, pointing to your VAST experience and claiming everyone else is "wrong". I got news for you so called "vets". This isn't Tribes 1 and it sure as hell isn't Tribes 2. The game isn't even officially out yet for pete's sake and yet you call yourselves vets. Vets? What vets? We're all fuking n00bs.

Play the game the way it was designed and stop crying because your ego's can't handle being pegged by a skilled O sniper.

Don't like turtling? That's why this is a BETA. Instead of making stupid ass rules nobody will follow except on your own stupid ass server, let the devs know long standoff's suck and petition for CHANGE.

O sniping is not the problem so stop persecuting an entire class (O snipers) and using turtling as an exscuse.

Well thank you for your brilliant insight. If wanting to make pubs better than bunch of downsyndrome kids playing pinata (that you so much desire) makes me elitist then I guess I'm an elitist. The few good servers (the ones with the select few who actually knows what a good pub is) will have an anti-turtle rule. YOU have fun playing alone on some shazbotty server. :lol:

Oh shazbot, I just noticed you said "o sniping" is an actual position..

Go O snipe on 5150 servers; they are very keen on sniping & fully support it.

:no:

That's a good point. If you're sniping just to kill the guy and you or your teammates are in no position to return the flag, it's completely useless. Unfortunately lines of distinction aren't drawn that pertain to situations such as this in pubs. Servers like 5150 #3 just outlaw o-sniping altogether but I think in situations where you're using the sniper rifle intelligently and productively it should be allowed. Granted the admins can't police all the actions of people all the time so they just jump to the quickest conclusion and kick you. It's sad but tis the life of a sniper. :)

Thank you for the calm reply... it's about freaking time for this thread. Now it's been my experience thus far T1/T2/T:V that most of the time on pubs people do o-snipe for the wrong reasons, hence the reason for "nazi" rules servers. The reason people accept it (and turtling) in comp is that either one can be useful and countered effectively (again for me i'm not sure yet how much i disagree with o-sniping in T:V) with organization that you cannot get on pubs.

Bottom line - there are servers with o-sniping disallowed, you want to do this don't play there (hell they are a severe minority right now!). Also, try to show some damn level of maturity when posting (namely Fatal) and maybe read Asura's post... can't miss it! :)

And one other thing as a general statement, if you are doing something that is really pissing someone off in a pub or really ruining their fun, why not give it a rest for a while. They are there to have fun too.

blayze :wave:

hello :rainbow:

I cant believe you people are still b|tching. OMG give it up already.

Each Server has its own rules. Follow the rules for that server, and you play. You don't, you're gone.

Simple.

either way is fine with me, I own people. :D

osniping is ok aslong as its not on capper in a standoff
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION :)

PanamaJack's Tribal Academy is recruiting people to compete on TWL..

Honestly i have to agree.

osniping on T:V is no biggy like it was in past games. They no longer have unlimited ammo, and cant sit 200 yards oob outside your base map after map.

I still 100% agree on flags outside rule in pubs, and no camp osniping the flag carrier during a standoff. Seriously it pisses me off when i see someone camping midfield sniping at our capper, then bitch about him turtling 10 seconds later. jerkry.

honestly i dont mind turtling

i do mind shazbotty bases on winterlake tho
or shazbotty HO routes for imperial

Personally i don't care that much for turtling as long as base design allows for multiple attack vectors. None of this winterlake crap.

However on pubs 99% of the time i think it's best to keep it outside and keep the game fun for everyone involved.

yes but on emerald if u cant snipe its bloody hard todo anything else

I'm not sure i can agree with you there... my experience has been a bit different in that most of the time emerald degrades quickly into cluster play. Also most of the time one is better off chasing rather than sniping due to the harder to ski terrain... easier to get the flag carrier to land in the wrong place or hit the side of a building while fighting you off.

well stacking d is a bit of a trend
so me vs 5ld and a fc
i cant even get near the buildings

osnipe is just useless in the most times, why osnipe if the entire D can grab the flag in a few seconds .... and who even snipes on cavern O_o
