I would be genuinely happy just to hear that snipers are getting some attention.

I'll even be pleased at this point if rattati comes on to this thread and says "your having a laugh we all hate snipers".

to the thread I say this, the sniper rifles are not in a good place and are far from 'fine' don't believe me? grab an ishukone and go do a p.c match... if you also happen to believe that a sniper should be within 300 meters then PLEASE do it within that range...

I Already know what happens at this suggestion, I've tried it as well as other tactics.

Too many people will keep going on about redlines everytime there is a sniper thread and everytime I say

"snipers are not the only people that use the red line therefore it is not snipers you are complaining about go and make a thread about red lines in the suggestions threads"

"snipers do not care about the red line, the fact that they use it stems from the lack of half decent vantage points inside the middle of the map areas, we never asked for bowl shape maps, and I can honestly say I have never seen a sniper asking for any kind of extra red line benefits"
Please note I have even added threads myself asking for changes to the red line areas and you know what folks..

I didn't see a single one of you people who regularly say about snipers getting no help til the red line is gone put so much as a plus one on there even though the suggestion would of completely fixed the problem.

so you say about the red lines being the reason to keep anybody who enjoys sniping in a bad place in this game... ok I CALL B.S

Evil

I don't for a second believe that the red line being taken away would stop you complaining about snipers. Evil

anybody who has seen good results from a good sniper recently has seen it in a pub match.

If I'm wrong feel free to post on here saying what you saw in a p.c match that means that snipers are still 'fine'
. only from p.c battles
. not including thales rifles, you can not gain a thales rifle through choice.

to the author, +1 mate I'm a dedicated sniper in this game and I miss being able to take part in p.c matches in the way I like.
so good luck getting a positive response mate, fingers crossed. Big smile

(before anybody gets all 'your a coward', etc I also play heavy and a.v roles. sniping is my preferred game style and my corp would agree with me that I am an asset to the team when I do it.)

For those who say it's iffy on damage, it can peg someone from ACROSS the map. So if you want a damage buff, I say nerf the range so you have to get outta the red line. Either keep your ability to have your unlimited range and keep the damage as it is, or you lose your range with a damage buff so you have to step outta your red line.

(before anybody gets all 'your a coward', etc I also play heavy and a.v roles. sniping is my preferred game style and my corp would agree with me that I am an asset to the team when I do it.) Not intending to insult but I stopped reading after 'sniping in PCs'... Normally in PCs there isn't room for snipers, unless your an absolute beastly sniper that has the capability to guard a control node and take out different forms of protoers. Only two MAYBE three snipers leap to mind who are any good. I haven't seen you in action, so I can't judge fairly on you. Most snipers I face off against are 'CoD' like snipers, or just get a dropshit to go MCC sniping. So rarely any will get an inch of respect from me. TO TOPIC, perhaps boost the zoom fidelity and the actual aim retinal, but otherwise you better skill up and get a few damage mods to better your chances as a sniper.

Rambo never used a sniper rifle, and he's the only man who's allowed to fire from the hip. Get an SMG and use a sidearm, or be a commando sniper and pack an AR. Problem solved. Sniper rifles are a niche weapon, not frickin hip cannons. I remember the days when you could hip fire a charge rifle and it would go in one solid direction... NO HIP FIRE RETICLE!!!

Reward good snipers that get consistent headshots Bring snipers out of the redline Increase their effective dps so they may be PC viable I also liked the idea of fewer shots in the clip and faster reload to come with the higher damage profile. +1 Just don't go CoD or HALO style sniping, PLEASE!
