I have been a loyal sniper since the beginning and I have watched CCP take away sniper's abilities little by little with each update, bit this last one has gone too far. First, you took away our landscape in the original builds, then you took away our shooting distance, then you took away our sight to just over 400 some meters, then you upgraded everyone's armor and certain weapons except the sniper guns( it takes four shots with a proto charge sniper gun to kill certain enemies and that is nearly impossible to do with all of the places to hide) and I was okay with all of that because I like a challenge. This is where I draw the line! Now, with this new update, CCP has added nothing but more city maps and taken the old maps and built cities around the objectives. This takes away snipers holding an objective and this also gave way too much cover for the enemy! It is 100% impossible to shoot someone 4 times on any of these new maps. This wouldn't be a problem had we known CCP was going to do this to us because I would have sold out like all the ex snipers and specialized into something else. Now I have wasted a lot of my blood, sweat and tears for nothing. The only sniper that is left are the tactical snipers and let's face it, their not snipers at all, just long distance assault rifles shooters. Finally, I tried playing 10 games tonight and only got to play 3 games because this stupid game froze my ps3 7 times. So I gave up and am now writing this post! Looks like I'm done for now. CCP, write me when you "think" you have made the sniper viable again. Until then, stop ripping people off and just delete the sniper all together. You've already made us obsolete. |

I agree I specced into sniper role because of the heavy having its issues only to find the sniper in worse conditions. These are cases that should be given an optional respec. The sniper at the moment is not fun to use and I only use it when I grow board of the AR, which I am stuck using because it seems to be the only weapon at the moment not bugged. I am sure there are other weapons working fine, but the sniper rifle has not been fixed in months. We complain on forums, but it seems no one cares. Distance rendering, hit detection, and better areas to snipe from is just a few of the issues now plaguing this build in my opinion. |

So even just over the course of the last week or so, have certain maps been phased out or is there so much variation of the new lab that I just haven't seen them in a while... Like the one map with the large tower and structure you can climb up on. That one was fun for snipes and forge gunners. I was still seeing it last weekend but about 30 matches played this week and its gone |

I recall reading in a post by one if the CCP guys that said the new maps were specifically designed to not be sniper friendly and the impression I got was that future sockets and the old ones would be changed to continue that trend, which is a crying shame. I get Players complain about snipers on roofs they can't get to without a DS... but they need to balance that with giving some love to the sniper role, otherwise you're just neglecting a whole chunk of the player base. |

It is there, in fact there is 2-3 maps with one spot to shoot from, the problem is that everyone else knows about it as well. This past month I get two kills when a drop ship either drops a heavy with hmg or an assault drop ship comes over and pops me even though my sniper carries lav nades. They stay just out of reach. If you're on regular terrain you can expect an lav with 2-3 red dots there to greet you with a kill and nothing you can do about it because I also carry proximity mines and place them to prevent this. Guess what? It doesn't help because those had gotten nerfed a while back. Just not right.

So much sp for nothing! why did you change the maps why? Its nearly impossible to snipe! You might as well take away the snipers from the game! |

Grab a heavy and a forge gun. All your problems are solved, in the mean time post threads in feedback to raise awareness. |
