One thing that has been bothering me for a long time now, is getting hit by a sniper and having absolutely no idea where the shot came from. All I see is my health instantly drop, and every now and then I get lucky and move to a spot that is actually out of their view.
I don't know if the HUD hit-markers even show up when being hit by a sniper, cause even if I am anticipating being shot, I still manage to miss it. The only tell I have is "Oh, my health just dropped a **** load, sniper!"
HUD hit-markers showing the direction of the shot need to be improved drastically. Either by staying on the screen longer so I can actually see it before it disappears, and/or by making it more visible/obvious. As it is now, I might as well be battling an invisible player that can take me out in 1-2 seconds shooting invisible rounds that make no noise. |

to make this more effective if a sniper hits us but doesnt kill us....he should light up bright red on the minimap...
or a big giant arrow should point to where he is exactly!
that way snipers wont be able to camp in one spot for the entire match...
this would be a big help! for counter sniping...
I like this idea in general.
If a sniper misses, then they won't pop up on the HUD, but if they land a hit, they should have the red/orange chevron show up for a few seconds (but only visible to the one they hit).
I think snipers should just be thankful they don't pop up on the radar/HUD for everybody to see as soon as they shoot at all, as that's how it works in most FPS games. But not having their chevron show up after getting a hit or kill is a bit ridiculous, especially considering the HUD hit-marker is gone before I even get a chance to see it and the direction they shot me from.
Basically I just lose huge chunks of health from some unknown location, the sniper might as well be invisible and have a suppressor to make them completely silent.
Also LOL at some of the comments. How about this one you turkeys, don't like the mass driver? Well don't be in front of me when I shoot it!  
I think I'll use that for the next tank QQ thread. Don't like AV, think it's OP? Then don't get in the sights of my forge or be around me when I have AV nades equipped! Oh and don't let swarms lock onto you... seriously, derp!
