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 -.-

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 2731	Posted - 2014.03.05 13:40:00 - [12] - Quote This is a valid point. I said before that since the fix to hit detection did not decrease the TTK for high Alpha weapons such as the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun, that measures to increase TTK for automatic weapons would likely translate to a nerf to high Alpha weapons. Some High Alpha weapons have received some consideration: - Nova Knife Proficiency is keeping the damage bonus for both Shield & Armour. - Mas Drivers are getting a buff. It will be hard to know for sure until things play out, but it is looking like Sniper Rifle and Shotgun will likely need a buff after this. Ion Pistol is coming Pre Nerfed just as the Plasma Cannon did. It you donGÇÖt like your weapons being nerfed, then skill into Ion Pistol. It can only go up from here. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

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. After Uprisings release the forums were a bad place, I'll never forget how CCP screwed up so badly.

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.
