A good way to counter the assault as a sniper

I just spawned 30 scramblers and they swarmed an assault and backhanded him to death.

I must say its a pretty good strategy.

Any good assault would not let himself be surrounded, and the assault would pull out his GL and go to town. The best way to take down an assault is to hope and pray he lands on your ice traps.

Might just be me or my computer, but I am genuinely disappointed that the image is not showing up on my screen! Somebody add subtitles to the image!

I love this!!! $1500 worth of Scramblers for 1 kill.

That's what I though you said.

derp

You do know that it's only good assaults which cause Snipers trouble. Most noob assaults don't know that you can fly out of traps and won't even think about throwing bombs to dislodge you either. The best way is to harass them from a distance (need to be decent at quickscoping to get the damage in), Flak 2/3 to keep them on 1 side of you, take out the SMG at close range. Most of the time I'll get an assault down to low health and instead of actually taking me out quickly when he finally gets close, he turns and flys away. (Thanks Xeno!)

Well, duh

I just spawned 15 more scramblers and they got 3 kills lulz

Thank you NoJohnz, I used this strategy today and did below average. I couldn't have asked for more.

As for you wazup, no. Just no. Assaults can fly out of ice traps, so your theory fails. Quikskoping iz da bes way 2 kil asshats, seriously.

Shooting an assault in the head normally is the best way to counter him.

Just gonna put this here...
Lower the freeze trap duration?

Strange...It seems as though wazup knows Assaults can fly out of ice traps, but still thinks ice traps are the best weapon a Sniper has against them.

IR CONFUZE :?

Well, I guess we can wait for him to reply in some fashion or another probably telling us different class setups for both the assault and the sniper, how well he did playing with said class setups, and eventually his post will end where it ultimately didn't actually acknowledge anything we said.

Wait for it.
