What most people don't realize is that a "sniper" still carries out normal infantryman roles. You just have to lug around your countries preferred choice of rifle too. In actuality, a snipers main skill is survivablity. When going through "sniper" training you'e actually taught more memory, map reading and survival skills than you are shooting and marksmanship skills. You've also got to have the patience of a slug. By that I mean you could literally spend weeks in a ditch, in a bog, covered in mud, in the rain and not move an inch. If you want to take a dump, you better have a bag at the ready. A piss? Bottle or in your fatigues.Sarah Kerrigan said:Medic. I have this thing for helping people. That or a sniper. I think I'd be pretty good at it, plus I don't like the front lines.

A lot of people fantasize about being that lone wolf, sat in a hedge popping off headshots from miles away. When in actual fact, you'll be relying on your spotter for wind, humidity and bullet drop measurements and all you're gunna see is a small outline of a human being and then watch it collapse. Possibly spending the next week or so trying to get back to a friendly AO.
hahahahahahahha, oh God, i dont want to sound like trolling but that made me laugh so much, you know what class me, you and everyone else would be playing?? the "stick to the plan, get cover if things suck and try not to die" class, VG war is NOTHING like real war, and the "jobs" you just described are all very very specialized, as in you need a college degree in them, and you would probably end up in the meat grinder... sooo... no...saucecode said:So I was playing Battlefield 3 with some friends, and i came to realise that the classes we played really reflected what our prefered job in a real war would be
