sniping from that range shouldnt be possible on the maps to begin with.
its not called tactical.
its called being scared. |

the worst thing that could happen is for snipers to begin sniping from one redzone. to the other redzone....again....on majority of the maps.....
unless u plan on giving ur self a balancing feature like appearing on every1s sensors for 10secs. every time u fire...
when u spawn in your own mcc or redzone at the beginning of the match only to get killed by a sniper from the other redzone.
something is wrong. |

lets try to put this into that heavies or ground units perspective when it comes to snipers.
we know they have a deep deep hatred of them.its kinda of obvious at this point.
but my prime reason on being against this is pretty simple.
sure we have the thales and the charges. the second being the a tad bit easier to counter.
but that thale? 200% of the time a thale sniper is on the map your team in your squad or on the enemy team. there seems to be a 99.99999999% chance that u will NOT find them.
which was pretty much the origin of the my much hated red arrow over sniper users head idea. (which probably wouldnt have worked or helped find them any ways.)
and so with this in mind. if every person in the game was sniping from the redzone pretty much invisible. how would the newbies feel. they would probably be quitting the game at a steady rate.
i just see something like this as being unfavorable for the game in the long run.
sure the new players or ppl who have no sp in snipers have access to a mlt sr. but that will not counter anything is practically useless for alot of players. unless they are skilled enough to use it.
i see nothing but very bad scenarios in game coming from this.
and even though most of the snipers ive come across in game currently camp in one high spot all day ignoring all of their surroundings only paying attention to whats in front of their scope. they still camp far enough out of reach for most players.
and when soe1 does finally manage to get to them most likely they are only going to have no chance at killing them if they are camping deep within the redzone.
im pretty sure alot of the players would hate having to try and scour the map looking for snipers.
as most of the time when i have followed this hit marks via spawning down a derpship flying low within render range trying to spot that sniper. i cant seem to find him. and what happens next is the dropship will then start to take fire from av.
this is the most common scenerio in game currently. making it worse would be very bad for the game.
and how does it become made worse? by extending the range of scopes. its a pvp multiplayer game right now.
if it was for something pve related no harm could possibly be done. except it would just hurt the drone more. which every1 wouldnt mind. but this would be too op for our current pvp gameplay. just because theres something stated lore wise within game doesnt mean it should happen. this is just how i feel on the subject of giving srs more range. |

i feel if anything if snipers range was shortened to be around 475 meters or less.
that could get rid of the redzone sniping or tone it down.
which in turn makes snipers to be closer into the battle.
and with that in mind should force them to become more aware of whats around them.
ive never let my guard down in any situation. only times ive been caught of guard is when im running around a corner only to find a hail of gunfire flying towards my face.
or im surrounded.
of course im not really off guard in those scenarios to begin with.
but do u realize how easy it is to sneak up on a sniper.
to easy. especially when u find them.
i once found a large nest of snipers.
i came in tossed a couple nades. then finished them off with gun fire.
then as i went to head back to capture some objective i here more sniper shots.
so i find the uplinks. destroy them. then kill the rest of the snipers. on this hill. other times ive come across a nest of snipers on a building roof.
i flew a ds upthere. ship exploded from a crash landing caused by a railgun turret.
i destroyed all the uplinks. had a mlt shotgun in hand.
and just walked slowly over to each of these relatively spread out snipers in proto suits with proto srs and other proto mods. and ohk. every 1 of them. they didnt even move. my own squad watched it happen too.
shorten their range. should = buff to self awareness.. but im only worried about the invisible ones.. |

^ i can play the insult/troll/stupidity game too.
but i choose not too..
because im not a raging idiot..
this thread may involve sniper zoom or scopes.
but most of these threads on the forums never stay on topic.
and since the topic at hand looks to have changed from zoom to range.
how am i off topic?.
those "war stories" are simply just the most common scenarios that happen during the daily gameplay.
now to go back to the zoom....
its a stupid idea. as it would make snipers op. thats the only massive problem that this would cause. its not a pve game. its pvp. maybe in a few thousand years when pve is released and pvp gets removed something like this could happen. but its going to be a simple no for now. to many negatives and not enough benefits from this, the bad simply out weighs the good here.. by a large amount too.
unless your seeking to make snipers op by giving them the ability to snipe from one redzone to the other. which would make them op. there is no reason for it..
deal with all the issues that would come from this and then it might be considered...

criticizing my grammar... still remains in the troll section.
im not cherry picking anything with those stories.
and sure they are both true...
there is that high chance of not finding that sniper because majority of the time is pointless to try and find them as they are too deep within the redzone to begin with.
the self awareness involved stories are when those snipers are finally spotted and found to be out side of their own little safe zone.
and thats what will happen majority of the time when they are seen.
just because one person decides to use proper grammar doesn't mean anything.
its all fine as long as it gets the point across. and easy to read. thats all that really matters.
and since im short on time il be back to finish up... |
