If you're a sniper and NOT using profile dampeners then you're just setting your self up for failure.

Dear god yes, would love to have full control of the zoom not just two or three options. If that sounds too powerful for a sniper to jave then have it be a variant that cost more cpu and pg.

Yeah my preference as a sniper is a logi suit with uplinks, nanohive, and a scanner. I just think utility is a snipers best friend, also helps with showing where infantry is flanking you from so you can work with another sniper or assault infantry.

Thus, low reward. The thing that makes sniper rifles one of my favorite weapon types is that they're actually as high-risk as you want them to me; and the higher risk, the higher the reward also gets. Sure, you could sit in the redline and go 2-0 every battle, or you could maneuver constantly and go 10-5. The close support sniper is so much more enjoyable than redlining. In the 130-200m you can hit more consistently, move to where the action is and you find so many more targets to soften up and/or finish off. I love it when someone thinks they're close enough to ADS me and I put three shots in their face. In addition, at the ranges cited, there is no issue of rendering or insufficient zoom. Hit detection issues still arise, but those occur no matter the range. Moreover, baiting people into <10m range so you can bring out the SMG becomes an art form. It is also fairly easy to countersnipe all the heavily contrasted long range snipers sitting on the tops of hills when you're working from ground level. In summary, the close support sniper is tons of fun...but if you're good at it, you're better off using a RR and working at your optimal range. It's a bit like being good at counting cards while playing black jack. If you have the apptitude, you might as well just play poker. I apologize if my hastily drawn conclusions have upset anyone... -Aramis I really think we need a new weapon for the closer range sharpshooting. They could call it a Marksman Rifle (or something like that) make it medium range, high damage and low Rate of fire. Maybe make it a Minmatar projectile type weapon. That said. All the racial suits, module and vehicles and player market before they add something like this.
I'm hoping that the either the gallente or minmatar will be the closer ranged snipers. Mostly cause I'm weird like that and suck at both super long range and tight CQC battles. Mostly the reason why I love the laser so much fits me like a glove.

Thus, low reward. snipers are one of the hardest weapons in the game to use ....... to what are you comparing it to ? You are joking, you have to be.
I guess all that high altitude red line sniping has finally gone to his head.

The only two kinds of snipers that are useless are the redline kind and those that don't work as a team. It helps a lot to have a mobile sniper in your squad watching the outside perimeter of the objective your team is capturing or to take out the logi healing the heavy attacking your squad. There is a role for snipers in this game sadly many people act ignorant about the class because soo many other people abuse the class.

There is a role for snipers in this game sadly many people act ignorant about the class because soo many other people abuse the class. I would rather have a AI rail cannon on my team than a sniper. Any class that need to use a officer gun to get a good amount of kills is pretty useless. Most teams never use a sniper on there team in PC its the one class you can get a win without them on your team. You need a logi on your team you need a heavy you need a tanker you need a scout but the one thing you don't realy need on you team to win a game is a sniper.
Lol, if you really think you need an officer weapon to be good at sniping then you just plain out suck at it and maybe you shouldn't call snipers useless just because you can't get a good amount of kills. I use the C-15 Tactical sniper rifle and do just fine when supporting my squad with cover fire or helping them take out a proto heavy with a logi. So there is no reason as to why you should have trouble killing people I mean they do over 100 damage per bullet.

I'd say the guns themselves are fine not a problem there other than the zooming options. Outside of the gun are the head glitching, and bullets simply not registering on targets when you see the shield go out on some one.
