Churpy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I can't play right now as I am away from home, but I can imagine that almost everybody is using a Snipetron and it's getting on your nerves? Seriously, never understood sniping in Warframe, it's only practical in 1/10, if not 1/20 situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm29 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm confused since I thought I was supposed to earn a snipetron vandal and it says snipetron in my foundry. Is this the vandal design or did I happen to miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistank Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I use my snipetron as hip weapon that one shots high level targets and when you get used to it, then it becomes great weapon. Anyway, I guess having it polarized twice probably means I screwed up because new vandal snipetron is way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooming in down to a pixel in a claustrophobic corridor and jerking aim around, missing tons of shots just to try and hit one enemy, JUST because you feel like "sniping" is a playstyle? I totally get that people enjoy sniping, heck, I enjoy it too. But everything is so close and visceral. There's only a few maps/modules where sniping is actually handy at all.

If you never played Combat Arms or any of those crappy FPS games, you will have literally no idea how to quickscope on mechanics like this. I zoom and take shots in probably less than a tenth of a second, after aiming of course. Due to the extreme damage output per shot, I'm usually able to keep up with everyone else, but even when I'm not, I don't really care because run and gun with low punishment for bad aim would bore the S#&$ out of me.

When there's 10-20 enemies all tightly packed together, it matters less about aim speed and what you are actually using. 6 shots as standard, in the Vandal. So you can't drop a room without reloading. Not to mention the time in between shots, or the fact that you don't need to do 3,000,000,000 damage on an enemy with 1 HP - it's simply impractical. There are certain instances in which certain weapons will highly outperform others. Snipers, I feel, are heavily neglected, and their use is not warranted as much as other weapons. I personally use the Latron, as it still gives a long-range feel, but it is far more practical for the level design of the game. And if you want to be good with it, good aim is necessary too :). I'm not suggesting sniping is bad, or people shouldn't do it, just that there isn't a lot of level modules and areas fit for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing a shot with the ogris however, means that you still kill half the enemies in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
