Your new maps are totally sniper unfriendly. No high points, most facilities have fences on the roof and around the building. So snipers have to find a spot where they can watch for targets, because a sniper rifle is absolutely no good as an assault weapon, and the scout suits are so weak, in shield and armor.

Now add on to this that we have to actually take a step, or fire our weapon, which can give away our position because just scanning an area zooming in and out looking for a target trips the "TACNET sessions will expire if no action is taken" and if we see something coming through the buildings (so we don't want to give away our position) we are kicked out!

This is absolutely **! I played a long time to get to lvl 5 scout so I could use it for sniping. A LOT of time and also money to try to have something to enjoy playing the game.

What a waste. If I could, I would want all my money that I put into the game back, and would even like to get paid for the wasted time.

Please do something about this timer, at least for snipers. You created the suit, yet you continuously ignore the pleads of those using the scout suit - but you gladly listen to and respond to everyone who cries about afk'rs and the op sniper. A scout (especially a sniper using a scout suit) needs to be able to use the equipment that you make them work so hard to try to get leveled into, yet is then crippled even more by whiners that you listen to and want to take care of - not thinking about those of us that need to lay still, or move slowly.

Addendum: Not fair that you add any deaths to my count, but not the kills if I leave or am kicked trying to snipe. If Imust loose equipment and have that death tallied, then I should also get credit for any kills.

UP AND WAIT UNTIL YOU GET MORE MAPS THAT DO SUPPORT SNIPERS.

On the topic of sniper locations. We have a set of parameters we follow. Since in all reality with a DS a sniper can reach nearly any high position. We took steps to ensure that what sniper points do exist are able to be engaged by other players in some way.

To be more specific, over a certain height in meters snipers are completely blocked. In one range X meters up to X meters the sniper must be limited in there movement and must always be exposed to ground units. In the last parameter, that sits at the lowest of meters snipers are given more freedom to move, and able to move in and out of exposure freely.

Objective hack locations are to be protected from "long range" attacks and any snipers if at all possible.

right.... some how i don't believe that is true with the older maps, maybe with the newer ones to some degree or another but its not really snipers that worry me its the forge gunners using then like sniper rifles to stop any and all hacks on objectives.

You are correct. These rules were put in place as we started the development of the Research Facility. What you are seeing is the transition to these new hard requirements. Eventually all sockets will have this put into place.

We have goon confirmation that the AFK system can be defeated with a rubber band.

that is all. snipers are safe.

Im gonna get lynched for this, but dude, this is care-bear tier of balance.
This is just wrong on so many levels.

maybe but alot of care-bearing was done and not all of it bad, just the important things. do you like the tower squad standing around FG objective preventing anything less then an multiple orbital strike to dislodge them? i know that gets old fast.

Id that that over 6 aimbot-DuvCalLogi in CQB.

I've spent 14mil sp into a scout and feel as I am militia grade. I've spent frustrating hours trying to compete, I seriously have to try hard. I don't use ARs I don't use grenades, not the MD. As you can see there is a knifing community, so fix our knives. The only sure kills are ppl standing still. You are killing me CCP, you are killing me over and over.
