But you're good enough for it to not be a problem, right?
That's why you never complain about them, right?
I'll complain about noob campers till I'm blue in the face, take firestorm as an example, what benefit do four snipers on a hill or a crane actually add? the odd kill? great. if it's a 32 man server that's a quarter of the team out of action, no flag capping, no flag defending just sitting there with a low bullet capacity rifle doing nothing. Even worse when they run out of ammo they have to run a million miles to either find someone to kill them or get ammo.
it's pathetic and it's not playing to objectives.
If however you snipe inside or nearby flags, use motion sensors/MAVs, have decent enclosed spawn becaons or lovely shiney SOFLAMS then more power to you, that's how the class is meant to be played.
not picking your nose 18 miles in the middle of nowhere, ammoless, adding zero value and being a general tool. Then moaning on the bf3 forum about recon classes missing out on multi kills or inability to destroy vehicles.
yawn

usually along the lines of c:\program files (x86)\origin games\battlefield 3
Just dump them in the main game's installation folder
I'm quite clearly not referring to snipers like that. Recons who do that wind me up as well. But I'm tired of hearing people scream "camper" at players (of all classes) who are doing their job, as in Greebos case, by defending an objective effectively. This isn't "camping" in the sense you are talking about, but that's what I mean, it's now a catch-all insult spouted by players too stupid and arrogant to realise they got shot at someone who positioned themselves better.
The only way you are going to stop people doing what you describe in Firestorm is to introduce class limits, but seeing that Recons aren't limited to sniper rifles, I cant see it happening. And even if it did, you might still end up with one recon who is happy to set up a spawn beacon 45 miles away and work on KDR all round.

are you using the right class ?
the amount of people who do this wrong is funny
engineer class, ak74u?
My main annoyance with camping snipers is when they don't put down their SOFLAMS. On of my main annoyances when I'm playing as a sniper is when no body bothers to use they lockons that I give them. They need to make it more rewarding for the recon class to use them, but at the same time make them easier to avoid while in a vehicle. They seem to stay locked on for too long after you go out of LOS of them, for example flying behind some building in a helicopter.
lololol
so many camping lows on HC
theres standing still for a bit, and then theres what usually happens on H/C
Because they can't be 3D spotted, and because theres no killcam, and because sniper rifles don't need a headshot to one hit kill, the game is full of them.
Not bothering to PTFO, just getting their TUGS, finding a little corner somewhere and setting up there the whole game farming kills.
Go play deathmatch if you want to farm kills.
How are they supposed to watch their back while camping if they put a SOFLAM down ? that means they can't use their TUGS !
The only class that has carbines is the engineer class. You need to use the M4A1 / Scar - H / G36C / G53 / etc..
*edit*
Odd. maybe try something other than the AKS-74U ?

The same can be said about any class.
I've seen medics not throw down a health pack or revive fallen teammates, engineers that won't repair or use RPGs to kill someone 6ft away instead of hitting tanks, jeeps etc and support that would sooner lay an egg than lay down an ammo box.
The ultimate tool has to be the guy that jumps in a vehicle at spawn and drive/fly in to the distance without stopping to pick at least someone out. In a normal game this usually results in certain waste of a vehicle and ticket.
Snipers annoy me, sure, but once they've killed you once you know they are there and can return a nice sharp blade to them, via their throat. I just wish more would lay down a SOFLAM on bigger maps like caspian. Seeing them used correctly is a rare occurrence.

Battlefield 3 premium was a pile of **** at the Rezzed event, half the time nobody was interested and it even crashed to battlelog. There wasn't anyone around talking about it, i even said to one guy oh it crashed uninstall origin.

Keep your whits about an keep moving between locations after firing a few shots, I play Hardcore where TUGs don't work.
thats easily resolved then.
You've not completed "done fixing" yet. You can only do the 2nd tier assignments when you've done the 1st.
Get 20 AT rocket kills, then you unlock the achievement and your carbine kills will start counting. Notice it still has the padlock on it ?
My post was sarcastic and referencing the number of snipers who use their TUGS for their own gain, rather than to help the team spot enemys, which is what it was intended for.
Very nice of them.
