CCP Wolfman is redoing sniper rifles to have projectile travel time and bullet drop. Snipers will have to compensate for that and lead their targets to get kills. Its being worked on.
How big of a drop are we talking? Sniper Rifles are basically rail guns so I don't imagine they have travel time and drop. That being said I don't mind them making snipers more skill (personal skill) intensive. |

Oh dont get me wrong, I wont complain about adding some skill to sniping. And a good portion of the time I do snipe. I might focus on it more if there is more skill involved and not ever new player is playing it.
The last game I played was the first game where I will honestly say snipers ruined the game (at least for my team) They had all our spawn points camped where I spawned, and within 3 steps I was dead. Same for most of my team.

Dust would be a better game without snipers. Of course, they'd be constantly peppered with threads here about adding sniper rifles, but that's not so bad. As-is, sniping contributes essentially nothing to the game. The people being sniped may as well just be stepping on invisible claymores or landmines or something added by the game at the start of the match. Oops, you walked in this spot and magically took some damage, that sucks. Gotta take a few seconds to heal and then carry on, hope you don't hit another one. Snipers and the people they're sniping are playing two completely separate games.
No.... I think they are both playing Dust 514..... |
