Is it me, or do the new maps make sniping a little irrelevant? Most of the areas are corridors and inside of structures. I know some people quit mid game and just go snipe with militia gear but for those of us that spent some time building up their sniping I feel like the shift towards ground troops might make sniping non-existent.

actually they should be quite nice unless your doing wrong
ive noticed the outside objectives and evenon the 5 point open
that those objectives are far apart and when teams transition from here to there
those are quite long strides for infantry
all you have to do is find a good crossing spot and wait for them

I hate the new maps. Absolutely loathe them. As both a sniper and a shotgunner. They're ******* woeful for anyone not using an AR or ScR.

EDIT: I've resorted to using the basic laser rifle whenever I'm unfortunate enough to get the production facility. Even then, it is of very limited use due to the medium range orientation of literally everything bar a couple of places on the map

Personally, I've had no problem with the new maps. Just stay a bit behind your team and provide cover fire. If someone decides to try and flank, which are usually just scouts, take them out with your sidearm. The only problem I see is if you are one of those guys who specced into a suit without a side arm, which means you're either going to have to pick up another weapon or start the long grind in order to spec into another suit.

Plus, overall I think coming down from your perch to mingle with the common folk every now and then allows you to really experience the brutish nature that is within us all. For one day, when you have returned to your perch, you will be able to self-reflect on these experiences and extract the principles held within them as you are having your daily ginseng tea with other like-minded individuals.

Always look for the silver lining.

It is really good to know snipe is not too powerful in the new maps. Here I have a suggest for sniping fan. In fracture road, let your pilot drop you on the long pipe in the middle of map. You should have better view and more chances to hit someone.:) Not mention this map is quit benefit for dropship.

Not every mission is going to be a snipers paradise, infact most are not going to be good for snipers. I understand that some people just want to snipe and thats fine but play your role more as a recon than a sniper. Give info to your squad and team, carry a scanner instead of hives. That scope can be a great tool for gathering information, one of the best methods in my opinion, you can get eyes on enemies way before anyone else and get a decent idea on squad comp.
