i can do all classes..

im sick of damage mods in general.

i think majority of the stuff should be left for skills only...


this wouldnt push players into forge gun sniping, all it would really do is show the players where u r for a short period of time exactly...

make it a little easier for counter sniping that guy with the thale or charge...

No to giant red arrow (LOL wtf)

Yes to sniper trails showing up for slightly longer (0.5-1.0s) OR being more obvious.

Yes to damage indicators showing up for longer (0.5-1.0s). They currently do and it's easy to figure out the general direction as long as you don't die in 1 shot.

This coming from a non-sniper that picks up a militia sniper from time to time, so I might be biased.

the problem is when u deal with thales..its always next to impossible to find them to counter snipe them...

1. Thales is is the best sniper in the game so those snipers will hurt
2. It's only available through battle salvage so whoever is using one will most likely try to conserve the number of times they will use it. This leads to my next point:
3. Due to the fact it's rare, if someone is using one they will try to prolong their clones life span so they won't lose one (this means possible redline sniping)

On another note, I won't mind it if the sniper trail stays for an extra .5 of a second

Don't mind vapor trails, especially since at 500-750meters range (The weapon in question is probably good to 4000meters) the vapor trails dissipate which is good for sniping. Now hear this it's not that I want snipers to be invisible (which is kinda the premises of being a sniper) At 300 meters the vapor trails should last 1.5 seconds longer but decrease the further away you are from your target. Alas again a snipers duty is to take out problem targets but at base, adv, and proto standard level wouldn't have enough power OHK targets (Which it should).

Honestly the idea of having a sniper light up like a Christmas tree is the dumbest thing I ever heard, if you have an issue with a sniper, than he (or she) is probably doing their role quite well!!!! Just pick up a militia sniper and counter snipe!!!! Seriously, how hard is it to do that, everyone has a "starter sniper fit" so use it!!!!!!!

the giant red arrow would be more effective...at certain ranges.that little sniper trail doesnt exist.


because of render distances.

the many times ive been hit by a sniper and looked to where they hit me from i took a derpship and was still unable to find them..

that giant red arrow above their head for a short time would only give some better information of where the shot came from..


i may snipe from time to time but this will kill camping for snipers.

and thats the point of it.

your location should be known after firing your first few shots.

its a great idea really...

and if the sniper is out of render range..

it will give better detail as to where those invisible bullets r coming from.


so the only ppl to hate it r the ones that want to rain down bullets onto players for the entire match concealed in a box of safety...


and be completely unaware of their own surroundings.

without the ar?

not that hard...

i use several weapons on dust 514.

snipers included.

and while counter sniping.


this is how it goes the sniper u r trying to snipe normally have a height advantage. meaning that sniper over there will be hard to try and counter without use of ds.


and if they r camping in the redzone...

well its only fair that players should get to know the general area in which they r camping.

as most of the time players rnt going to know where they r located..

all my idea does is make finding that camper a little easier.

ud think that would work but it doesnt alot of the time.


and
what ur saying is basically what my idea makes easier...

that field of vision from the redzone may not cover certain specific areas.


but those chosen camp spots do cover a very wide view of the map, its not that narrow.

the sniper role will not be gone.

many games i play it ends up like this...


one player starts sniping...

gets several kills.

then suddenly some1 on the other team decides to grab an sr and start trying to find the sniper..

and then a few minutes later no1 but a few ppl r trying to go for an objective while the rest of the entire teams r camping trying to snipe each other...




and so the players running on the ground trying to hack objectives and so on get punished by getting slaughtered by snipers hiding out in the several camp spots we already know about and others that r still being discovered..

this is one of the reasons why ccp designed the new maps the way they r currently.


many of the objectives r inside structures and protected by cover and such..


my big red arrow over your head for short amount of time idea doesnt take away all the camp spots but instead.

it helps the helpless ground player get the chance for some revenge...

and most likely.

it wont change much.

it really only affects your beloved redzone sniper/camper.

so nothing major to worry about.

the only player that would likely be gunning for u is the angry player uve been farming for points..

a combat sniper role means that sniper should always be on the move.
moving from spot to spot.

thats what the big red arrow idea forces the sniper to do.

to move around more on the battle field.


that same sniper will also have some cqc effective with the use of the secondary weapon.

the way players snipe is this way currently.

they stand in one spot for the entire game. on a little safe hill..

they should be found out after firing their first few rounds.

and even if players start gunning for them they would still have a side arm to fall back on.

and seeing how they already have a tactical advantage by being on top of a hill where their enemy doesnt have much of any cover.
taking them down shouldnt be a problem.


that sniper rifle is supposed to help those in cqc combat with the assault rifles in such by taking out enemy players in heavy cover.

thats why headshots ohk nearly every time with a sniper rifle.



my idea does not kill sniping.

if a sniper wants to do cqc that sniper will have a limited cqc effectiveness.

with the use of a side arm.

the new maps which most snipers seem to hate is because there are few camp spots on the map.


id say the new maps where designed to force players who want to snipe to move around the map from point to point.
not stay in one place for the entire map.


my big red arrow idea. forces the sniper to change locations every once in a while. as they should be doing.

so if several camp locations get found out by majority of the blueberries.
all it means is that ull have to be moving around a little more if u want to avoid getting killed.


what this does is give sniping an actual role.

and kills its well known reputation as the (PAD YOUR OWN KDR) gun.


it also makes it a true recon class.

the solution to most annoying snipers would be derpship..

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...

a combat sniper role means that sniper should always be on the move.
moving from spot to spot.

that same sniper will also have some cqc effective with the use of the secondary weapon. and seeing how they already have a tactical advantage by being on top of a hill where their enemy doesnt have much of any cover.

tso if several camp locations get found out by majority of the blueberries.

I was under the impression that proto/officer sniper rifles generate no vapour trail, and no direction indicator. I've never seen a direction indicator from them. I imagine this is intended as a perk.

Yea, right!!!

And what if they have filled the slot full of dampeners? I suppose you also would like them to show up so you can kill them too.

Live with it!

players that can wear brown.black or even yellow armor..

and if the snipers armor color is close to the color of the hill or building the player is sitting on its going to be a bit harder to spot them...

thats what the giant red arrows r for...
