But you already 1 hit my scout D:

wait you guys think you can't quick scope?


all right then lol...

no, you can't. At least, you won't be as precise as you're in other games.

Actually, you can be. When quick scoping you can predict exactly where the reticle and sway start and it always "shakes" in the same pattern at the start.
I can usually get 4/5 shots. Only I do it with a 'Covenant' aka STD sniper rifle so I only sometimes get the kill... as quickscoping doesn't really work when your DPS is about half of those ARs.

But yes, continue the trend. Nerf Snipers because the scrubs in the red line that can't do anything are annoying. It's so unfair that I can't hit them because I don't have a Sniper [STATER FIT]. Could you even imagine if a sniper was relevant in PC? That would just be so unfair.

Good thing other weapons are also balanced around how annoying the worst players in the game use it.

Ok, slow night.

But wait, sniper can do an awesome damage if they only were...well, snipers. It's more like a point and click now imo, it's so damn easy.
If you don't believe me just look at any match: when your team is redlined you suddenly see a swarm of friendly snipers. And when your team is redlining you suddenly see a swarm of snipers. In any case you'll see a swarm of snipers!
But if there was some kind of bullet falloff, ccp would solve both this and the redline sniping issue. You could still snipe from the redline, but you must be really skilled in order to hit anything.

I am a sniper on occasions and hiding as you call it in the red line is a tactical response. Tell CCP to move some D*** boxes around and give snipers more options and then we can talk about leaving the red line. If you do not like a sniper, counter snipe or just stop complaining. If I get shot by a sniper playing assault, I can most of the time figure out where you are and I will take care of the situation. The Thale is a beautiful weapon but I also use the KAAL and the charge. The problem is not the sniper or location its the down right refusal by others to try and find a counter solution. If you take the red line away, the tower will become a problem, take away the tower and then the full time sniper will most likely sit in the MCC do to how easy they are to kill. CCP has made the terrain very hard to snipe from and most line of sight is blocked do to objects scattered about the battlefield, so you have to go up high or very far away to get a better picture of the battlefield.

They tried the bullet drop style trajectory.

Remember the "Experimental Sniper Rifle"?

Didn't use it, but according to CCP it caused a great deal of lag and hit delay.

Sniping from the redline is equivalent to sniping from High sec to Null sec. Its ******* stupid and should be removed from the game, no matter how 'tactical' you think it is.

But then, just slow down bullets speed at least

Look at the opinions of people that actually have Proficiency V and use them in Planetary Conquest. . . oh wait, there aren't any of us left as they've made the damn thing useless on a competitive level.
