This is really pissing me off that people keep using the drones or whatever to get up to the overpass and snipe all day. Anyone else consider this cheating, or at the very least being a doucher? Is there a way to use c4 and bring that whole motherfricker down?


I dont think it's cheating, it's just sniping. Yes, its a funky arse way to get on top of an overpass, but in real life snipers shoot from higher elevations all the time.

When I'm in the mood to snipe, I use the MAV elevator to get on top of buildings to wreck shop. Is it cheating/cheesing, i dont think so, its sniping. Im covering my team to take objectives and defending captured flags. If im not using my MAV to get on top of a building, Im just going to get a helicopter to insert me wherever/whichever building i want or parachute on a building using the mobile spawns.

If I wanted a run and gun type game I would go play COD. BF3 is more strategy and I wish people would quit thinking of sniping as camping. It's fricking sniping. I cant run around with a bolt action rifle with a bi-pod shooting it like a pistol.

Also, you are super vulnerable on top of buildings anyhow, so easy to eliminate pesky snipers on overpasses.

There's a difference between sniping and riding scouting equipment to otherwise inaccessible areas.

Yes. Cheesing, but not cheating.

But you can cheese to get on top of things that other snipers who don't have the MAV unlocked can't. Check.

I guess I should specify that I am only playing TDM to unlock guns and upgrades and get my k/d back to 1+ after getting murdered my first few hours of playing. So they aren't covering objectives or anything.

If it isn't cheating it's at least cheesing and annoying as hell. Because if I wind up on that map I know I am going to spend 90% of my time shooting rockets up at the overpass. Kind of makes it lame on TDM.
