With that though, what would be the best counter to a sniper? I believe most of my kills are from Shotguns by about 2,000. Running out into the open and getting sniped is an obvious fault of the player. But to me, it seems like I can use a Pulse Rifle or Scout Rifle for screen bounce. But the screen bounce doesn't work and I get sniped. So then what do you do? You can't challenge it at range unless you counter snipe. My concern with them is that they can insta-kill from any range, long or far. You can claim that it is harder up close and personal. I personally feel that they should have more zoom, and I would be okay.

  • Much like Anfield suggests below, I just put pressure on the snipers by flanking or just getting close one section of the map at a time. Usually the guys who snipe all the time aren't very cool under pressure when it's happening in their face. Much like my TOO strategy against campers. Don't sit back and play footsy with professional footsy players. Attack and put pressure on them. They don't do well under pressure that's why they camp.

  • You have to use the map. Flanking is the best counter to a sniper.
