calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 2048	Posted - 2014.03.05 13:14:00 - [1] - Quote so let me explain. sniper rifles will be losing about 10% overall damage from the change to the mods, then they will be losing all of their bonus damage to shields from their proficiencies, and THEN everyone will be triple stacking shield mods now since damage mods are mostly garbage. in other words i'd say a minimum of 1 extra hit to kill someone, probably more, and in the case of shield heavies probably not at all.

Am glad this change will make sniping firstly nerfed against everybody then secondly against shields. Imagine this, assholes that bring no strategic value have a harder time getting kills while sitting on top of towers/mountains seems cool. Now, if your typical sniper was somebody who took the time to properly cover a console so nobody could hack a point, or go out his way to purposely kill off squad leaders or forge gunners, Id be a little bit sad. Guess what, majority dont so suck it up and hunt out the people already in half armor. do you think they will stop sniping? lol no, why do you think I want snipers to be made useful, they will never stop even if they only get 1 kill a game. let me ask all the haters one question, snipers have literally been going down a steady decline to worthless flaylock levels since 1.1 to now, do you honestly see any less amount of snipers in the games? ** no, you still gets dozens of these worthless blue dots doing nothing and that will never change. stop trying to remvoe snipers by making them worse, either make them useful or remove the damn gun -.-

They will actually have to work. So sad. Too bad. your right now they will hang out and do nothing for your team and go 2/0 while you die 15 times. always fun.

The Militia sniper rifle was always good enough for me, but with these changes all I'll have to do is switch to one of the advanced sniper rifles. case in point

You are a LIAR. Saw you sniping against us 2 days ago..you had an AE, STB and couple of others on your team. You got killed too many times and there you are sniping..***** I did? I've been running heavy for 2 weeks for the event O.o as mentioned earlier I snipe for laughs from time to time, or on the odd occasion snipe for laughs when people try to hold high ground, but I really don't do it as my main. look i'm specced into sniping, heavies, tanks, logi's, 8 different guns, every form of av, and lav's. I switch around a lot as the situation calls for it.

You had the hill (the adv in any case) lol I always snipe that map if I'm on that side, theirs just enough cover that I can ground snipe and not get killed by rail rifles constantly, while not enough cover that the opposing team will make me useless, I also get to kill a ton of snipers since everyone else has the same idea. must of been early in the heavy event though that was back when I thought i couldn't run his fat ass on that open map, that was before i got good with them, and learned about the wonders of lav's =). yep one map was left where a sniper could still do his job, at least I made an impression I suppose since you remembered, but I don't think any time I'm sniping that i'm being useful.
