Stop with the freking risk/reward. If you are not willing to do sh*t about it, then it's your own fault. My sniper suits costed 130k isk in 1.6 and were easily killable by a standard tactical sniper. Get good you scurbs and stop tying to keep a sh*tty weapon in the dirt. The only viable sniper right now is the thale's.

Snipers are an unliked class but you deserve to be sniped if you don't want to counter them.
I kill 90% of sniper I face with level 2 in sniper operation, a scout suit and a tactical sniper rifle and I best most lose over 100k isk per death when I start sniping.

They all need a zoom and damage buff.
Tactical needs it's clip size increased.
Charge needs a cooler word in front of the name, a damage buff and a huge zoom capability buff.
Basic needs a damage buff.

Is it me or is the reality that this game doesn't need snipers EVERY MAP. I'm sick of people thinking that every match they should be able to snipe. It just doesn't make sense. Don't buff anything with sniper rifles. I run ADV Tactical and, on the right maps, break 10 kills without dying on a bad day. Some maps aren't good for sniping either because they know where people snipe from or just have bad angles for the action. People just need to get over it.

I can't run Heavy HMG every match and can't run Logi every match and can't run scout every match. I have to go between what will work in that match and sniping doesn't always work.

Stop asking for tiercide , your killing variety and the fun of this game at the same dam time .

You can't snipe every map , just like some maps are more vehicle friendly then others . That's just crazy because their are some battlefield's that are a counter-sniper's dream . Seems like someone is in love with the charged sniper rifle in here . I don't agree with a damage buff , if anything your range should effect the damage that is given and with the fact that the closer you can get ( of course you would like to not be seen ) the better you can see so you should become more accurate . I would rather see magnification as a sniping skill instead of just a part of an actual rifle's ability . Tactical's zoom already and we do have a Thale .. I wouldn't want this to become just so easy that the forums begin to call for the role to be nerf'd like the trend show's . If it was an actual skill it would probably benefit the role better . Want more damage and better zoom , then move closer and your vision will increase . I wouldn't want to snipe every match but that's just me ... I wouldn't want to tank every match but that's just me ... I try to do a little bit of everything . Stop asking for tiercide , your killing variety and the fun of this game at the same dam time .

Yeah and with the hit detection bug and other's that were mentioned before , it is harder .. also it seems that CCP is not giving this role any attention . It's like a Anti-Vehicle and Pilot suit ... Where are they ???? Where is the attention given to this role . Everyone doesn't snipe when they first begin , this is not a role where you can pad your stats because some battlefield's are just not sniper friendly .. hell most are not , so you just can't snipe consistently every single match . Everyone doesn't redline snipe but there are some battlefield's where this just can not be avoided because of poor positioning from the field . I give the sniper's of this game MUCH LOVE because of all the obstacle's that they are faced with and the fact that there just isn't enough going for them at the moment and it's like CCP is actually trying to faze this role out of the game by not giving this class any attention . I'm a sniper first and I will ALWAY'S jump for the cause of sniper's . We get a lot of slack from the community and from CCP , we have to stick together .

Then those would be the next great thing and those spots would get burned out and prob camped by shotgun scout's . Unless the are near the spawn point or the redline . That's the problem , players say that the map's are too big and some say not big enough , I think and have come to appreciate the variety and the fact that they are rotated .. some I feel like there is not enough room and some I feel could be bigger , with the expansion of players to the battle but for now they are just right .
