You should really rethink that thread title^^

Yes, I would consider it an asset in the right hands... But that's rare. I don't know you so I won't judge how you'd use that kit.

By definition, anything that provides a benefit to the team is an asset.

That, of course, depends on how the asset is used.

E.g.
A huey is an asset.
A pilot who buggers off in one leaving everyone on the carrier - he's an asshat.

As its request able its an asset, but that mean nothing to what the server rule state.


Read the server rules and PM a admin.

Really depends on what server your in. Some consider it an asset, others such as ours do not. However we will not hesitate to remove players senslessly wasting the precious limited kits.

3.2 Ground rule on this server is: "First come - First serve"
The first player who enters the driver position of a vehicle is the one who'll lead it into battle. Reservation of assets is not possible.
10th-Community - Server Rules :roll:

best bet is to read the rules of the server before posting....... only a sniper would make a thread like this ammirite?

A "true" Sniper recons his target before engaging (checks server rules) and goes for one shot, one kill (PM the server admin). Posting in a topic like this is more along the lines of an Automatic Rifleman (spray and pray).


There are some servers that enforce the rule of "First squad to be named after an asset gets dibs on it", while other server rules state "First come, first served". Because there is no way to currently reserve kits or assets, it's best to try and take turns and play respectfully of each other. If someone does take a specific kit you wanted, just ask nicely if you can have it when they are done with it or dead. If someone is not using a limited kit properly, ask for an admin. If no admin is present, try another server or keep waiting. Just remember that you never NEED a specific kit to effectively support your team.

i worded it wrong, i meant the typical sniper player (1337 kiddies) and the only one that would care that his beloved kit has been taken.

If u are a decent sniper (so you actually do your job correctly) then the kit becomes an asset. If u were playing as USMC then if u have a sniper squad i find the M21 to actually be of better value when u are just pulling recon. Most people say they are a "real sniper" but they only do it because they like the bolt action haha

Sniper and HAT kit should be pick up kits only. Prevents newbies for spamming kit request at crate and having it for they meaningless use. Experienced player knows every corner of map so they get limited kits more likely.

People who always take sniper rage me out. I mostly start 'VOIP INF' etc squads, to spawn in and find most of my squad is staring at me with snipers and marksman.....

The kit has its place, and is an effective weapons, its just insanely overused/overrated.
