So now after 1.7 you can no longer fly a drop ship and get on to the tall towers. WTF did you place some kind of shield around them as well CCP or did you just coat them with teflon. You sneaky pricks CCP nice way to nerf sniping even more!!!  |

Guess there is always the redline you can be safe and snug behind...
Trolling aside, i'll bet it was more to keep forge gunners off of them than snipers. Snipers were easy pickings to counter sniping once you knew they were up there. Not a problem IMHO. Forge gunners though... they needed to go.

That's excellent. No more forge gunners or Thale's 500m away instakilling everything on objectives...

Whoa whoa whoa. If this is true CCP has some 'splainin to do.
We recieved a forge splash radius nerf to compensate for the amount of AI power a tower forger had
We received an increaseed charge time which as well is a nerf to AI power
Now if towers are inaccessible why still have these "debuffs" in place
Also in b4 FG is an AV weapon, it's anti-material, and it fires a small cannon sized slug at 7km/s. |

At least give the heavy laser a name so we know you MIGHT be working on it.

If this is true then I'm kinda happy, the only reason why I have Op 5 Prof 3 in sniper rifles was to get rid of tower campers.

I'll readline with thales every manus peak match I play with no regrets, that map is so horribly balanced that regardless of side I'll uplink and snipe until the cows go home due to how terrible that map is. Other then that I rarely do so unless there's a specific player I know on the other team that will throw a hissy whenever they lose a head to sniperfire.
Redline sniping earns terrible SP

Only a thales scares me anymore these days unless I'm literally in the middle of nowhere(get bored sometimes, sue me) I can usually waddle my fat self to cover.

Godin forbid you have to actually get closer to the action as a sniper. 
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

It is excellent for gameplay, i agree.
But the way it was accomplishes is so arbitray and immesion-breaking and cheesy than it hope it's only a temporary kludge until something more esthetic can be implemented.
I support SP rollover.

So just to make this clear because I obviously didn't
The towers I am talking about are the thin ones that are slanted at the top. You used to be able to fly up there and place an uplink and a nano hive on the slanted section. But now they just slide off.
You can still get on to the big flat towers easily and either forge gun or snipe up there like a  |

As someone who likes the change (woo, no rooftop forge guns!) I have to point out
Snipers are supposed to be away from the action. That's kind of the point. |
