 I was thinking about this the other day.
 
 There should be a laser marker type visual queue to tell you where snipers are, yes, I know 90% of them are sat with their Thale's in the red line and therefore don't need to be pointed out but this would help all players deal with them better, being a fatty it's a bit of a pain being pinged from all angles on certain levels, and this would help in this situation, but this could also help scouts find them out and deal with them too.
 
 Also - I can guarantee most snipers will be getting their 'Infiltrator' on (a-la Planetside 2) after 1.8, so take a shot, go invisible, maybe change position and then hunker down again.. there are going to be sooooooooooo many inviso-scout snipers after 1.8, and with all the new fatties that will be on the field, snipers are going to be very attractive.
 
 Perhaps I've not made the best case for it here (it sounded like a great idea in my head but I'm not conjugating it as well as I'd hoped), but hopefully some will see the merit and explain it better than I.

 I can't fit anything with my advanced scout in my lows. I have 2 CPU upgrades lol and can only fit standard hive or compact. This is because I fit proto sniper, 2 complex light damage mods and a STD Scrambler Pistol.
 
 If you're a counter sniper, you know you don't need this. It would be a crutch, and anybody who's anybody knows we don't want that.

 I don't know if you realise, but most snipers seem to wear heavily bricked suits.
 
 IE ones that can't fit a cloak, decent guns and still damage tank.

 Excluding 1 side of 1 map where I snipe, I almost never snipe. I will, however, counter-snipe if I notice someone being a real @sshat.
 
 That being said, I'm glad you realized your thought, while good in your head, didn't turn out so well on paper. Finding a sniper only takes two simple things, hit indicators and one person dying who can state distance. From there, its usually pretty simple. This would be way too much.

 Victor....
  ....I don't even know where to begin.....  
 if you are over 15 someone really needs to sit down with you and talk to you about stuff, anything, just anything other than what you just said here....cause that.....that is some of the craziest stuff I've seen on the forums.....
 
 A laser tracking device/system/bullet trail so you know where snipers are.....

 Great Idea - you explained it just fine. We need a tell to weed out these festerin cowards!

 LMAO. OMG, best NOOB post EVA.
 This is ALREADY in game. Sniper bullets leave a trail. Your suit has a built in hit compass. It will let you know EXACTLY which way the bullet came from.

 No to laser.
 
 And cloak-move-snipe has been around since at least killzone two.

 Wait, some people are still going to snipe after 1.8? Damage mod nerf = removing any possible contribution that a sniper can make.

 Yes that's true but a subtle indicator you're about to be f***** would be preferable to an after the event footprint. Anything that helps us identify, capture, torture and then horribly murder ALL snipers is to be welcomed..
