Ghost is here to try and fix things, but remember that I left my repper at home. :(
I like this idea, but I also would like to remind you guys that a sniper's position is crucial to his usefulness. I've said many times before that a Sniper is not just for kills, in fact, it's almost for the exact opposite. A sniper's position is used to see the battlefield and warn teammates of incoming dangers, and take out anyone that's trying to kill your squadmates discreetly. If a Shotgun is hiding next to a doorway, ready to blow the brains out of your friendly Squadmate, you need to warn that Squadmate so he's able to defend himself. Or, if you'd like, like up a headshot on that Shotgun and kill him then and there. But without a good sniping spot, you can't do that, because you can't see the whole board.
On the topic of Sniper Spots, I'd like to point out that MOST of the good sniping spots are shared between the redline and the actual field, making it still accessable by normal means. Or, even better, the sniper is sitting at the part that's outside of the redline. Technically, he's not Redline Sniping, but it's effectively the same thing, given the distance he is away from it.
However, when you're pushed BACK INTO the Redline via the opposite team, here's my idea.
You don't lose ALL of your stuff if you've been pushed to the redline. Instead, you get HALF rewards. 90% of the time, you tried your hardest to not get redlined. The game will know to give half rewards not if you're standing in the redline, but if you're in the redline and ALL points have been captured by the enemy team. If you still have a CRU, or Null Cannon, you're not redlined. If you manage to get at least 100 WP while in the redline, you'll get full reward.
If standing in the MCC spinning in circles so it doesn't kick you, you get no rewards at all. At least 25 WP and still in the field is required to get any rewards at all. When standing actually inside the MCC at all, rewards are negated, except for a small invulnerability timer when/if you happen to spawn inside the MCC. |

Correct. You need to think bout risk/reward. That person that wanted to kill you most likely risked his/her life to do so. On Manus Peak, I'm able to get on the redline mountain via foot, kill the people, and possibly make it out. I risked my own life, money, and a clone for the sake of the match and my squadmates. Most of the time, Snipers aren't taking the same risk of running into a redline, killing someone (Who may have quite a bit of HP), and still hope to survive.
So yea. If that person risked his own ISK and his team's clone, that risk is worth the +50 points.
Enemy snipers though, I guess I don't know. He could have risked himself. Maybe. |
