Sniping at 200? I have spent time on the range with some of the Marine Corps best in 1990 as a Range NCO. We was at 800 to 1250 yards with the M40A1,a .308 bolt action. Here I use the Charge and it takes three or more on a heavy, even with a 175% damage. Thinking a sniper should be at 200 when a combat or assault range is 250 is a little dumb. Sniping is all about distance, patience and accuracy. Do not stand still in the field and we will not drop you. With 7 months I am at 3.6 to 1 and pay for it every time I get under 200m in a light suit.

Why are you sniping?
20+ years of construction takes its toll on your hands and and reflexes. The up close fast movements and first FPS are to fast for me to handle. With 4300 kills and 1194 deaths in 7months and 12 days, I am staying above 350m. The only other game I played was GT to GT5, the Poly jacked up GT6. I just pull cover support and or get the tanks to hunt me. My worse day was 0 kills and 5 deaths, best was 17 kills all at 510m. Best kill was 597m. Using the Charge is a close to the M40 or new Barrett M95 .50 and .416 for rate of fire and reload time, and any hit with the Barrett is a kill, 1800m range with 850 mps. Figure a M16A2 to the A4 have sniper range up to 800y without a scope but in the prone position. From the ranges I have been killed at with almost all the weapons, the ranges are close as they can be in a game that has confined battlefields.

Yes CCP should cut sniper ranges down to 200, and while there at it cut all other weapons ranges by Gàö or so. Pistols down to 3m, shotgun to 10, assault and HMG to 50 and rifles to 100. Limit Sagas to 5km with Nerf bumpers so there is no Roadkill.Tanks and Dropships to 150, that should keep everybody at 1 of the 5 objectives. To make things fair to that prick with the knives(3 times) give him a baseball bat so he can just beat the crap out people and not kill them.
The variety of weapons and ranges are there for the variety of people playing, thus mirroring all military units. Some of the best matches I have been in have been 1 or 2 kills, but the have save others pined down. Picking off a gunner in a moving Saga at 550 makes them nervous, allowing teammates to move on an objective. I do get into the fight, thus 1200+ deaths, one run dropping ammo and spawn points in a lights suit with a SMG. I die and them go sniping, no complaining about getting blown off the map by a Warbird Strike.
Keep Light on the Edge or Armor up in the Bloodzone.
