Had an odd bug today in a domination.
On this map, an enemy redline sniper was perched on the edge of the ridge in F-13; I tried counter-sniping them from roughly H&I-13
Here's where it gets strange: although the sniper was clearly visible (feet and all) and definitely in range, my sniper rifle couldn't damage them, and the dot in the scope didn't even turn red.
Eventually out of curiosity, I made a suicide run into the redzone, (from F-12, if it matters), came up behind them, and killed them with absolutely no problems at all using my SMG.
One final note: when I was making my way towards them with my SMG, I could hear them firing. However, when I was using my sniper rifle, they seemed to be completely immobile- not aiming or anything.
Their suit was a scout gk.0

Once again: there's no such thing as head glitching.

I had a go sniping today and my target just appeared to levitate into the air and stay there for about thirty seconds.
Could I hit him? No chance.
I can only assume that he jumped and something lagged somewhere and whist I was peppering the air where he was he'd beetled off to safety somwhere.

And so it goes.

The sniper head glitch is just forum QQ by those that cannot compensate for the many odd adventures with mesh/map issues in the game.
The pip will turn orange but will not be valid. Thus you feel like you should get a kill only to waste rounds. The pip is not accurate. Just so you know. Often it will change color when the target is behind a wall, a corner or even behind terrain. That is the most common Sniper Head Glitch when crouched by the edge of anything they will be targeted with an orange pip but nobody can hit them, thus the birth of a myth.
Now, the real question is - are you a sniper?
If not, then I won't explain the counter measure for it.
And so it goes.

yeah, and bullets coming from the ground deal no damage, right? 
Some ago Aeon Amadi reported an "invisible wall" on a map, which prevented him from moving from a position to another and even to fire in that place.
Did you try to counter-snipe from different positions or not? It would be interesting (and important) to see where this wall could be, provived this is the case of course.

Yes, I countersniped from different positions. The entire time, I was moving along the hillside towards them to try different shots.
I also never heard of bullets coming from the ground

The sniper is flawed. No surprise; so is medical. The thing is the Devs don't like snipers. They have to be in the game, but that doesn't mean they have to leave any good places to shoot from or even offer a functioning, damage-dealing rifle. |

This does happen quite a bit, I see it usually every time I play a decent set of games. The trick is to move your dot around and hit different parts of them, usually the head. Like the left temple or the top of his head. Or slightly above the head even..
Make sure your bullets are not clipping on terrain at your end too.
Its very frustrating when they are sitting in the open and you empty a clip before you get it right.
It is possible for you to not be able to hit someone for a clip and they can one shot kill you. |

Just wait till Kane Spero halves the sniper ifle range without taking any note of comments on doing so.
