So kick us out of the redline. Make it impossible for bullets to pass through the redline, something, I don't know. That's not an acceptable excuse for leaving the weapon broken.

HS damage multipliers are too low. I'd like to see at least 200% if not 250%. I would accept a breath-holding and sway mechanic to balance the buff out if people feel this is too much, or even a body shot damage decrease.

Hit markers don't seem to appear any more, which is a real pain when trying to figure out if you landed the drag shot and should keep at this one target, or shift to one further from cover.

But mostly it's hit detection, which is really very bad for snipers right now. When I do pull out my sniper rifle, I get at least 25% shield flash. If this happened on any other gun, it would be fixed already.

As I said above- redline sniping should be made impossible by any means necessary, though the approach CCP took to the Gallente Research Facility was very much the wrong one (making all objectives and objective-control-relevant areas completely shielded from attack beyond 100m).

I agree that Dust sniping is easy mode with it's perfectly steady scope, and I would welcome either a sway mechanic or large rail-like travel time (but not bullet drop kthnx).

I would accept leaving sniper damage where it is and giving snipers a BF3-like spotting/tagging button, that would broadcast 2-5 seconds of scan info to either the squad or whole team's TacNet.

Overall, I'm just sick of people raging at useless snipers, then opposing any proposition for making them more useful.
