Sniper love?
Difficult, considering the redline has yet to receive some Dev hate (go ahead, flag my post for bringing up a major balancing aspect crucial to the topic).
Many of my suits already can get one/two shotted. So what sort or "love" is needed? More damage? Maybe at lower tiers, unless you want to add more problems to the standard/advanced/prototype progression equation (which is currently screwed up, but CCP has made slightly better with Bravo).
Or maybe "love" as in amount of sway. Can't say if decreasing scope sway would be negative, so by all means, go for it.
Or perhaps "love" as in other aspects, like range/ROF/clip/etc. Range is good. I can be pegged from people deeply embedded in the redline when I am in the middle of a map (usually where the Dom objective is&beyond). People actually in the map can hit even further. Range is fine. ROF seems fine enough. Clip for snipers seems good (but variants may [not?] have issues). Zoom? Eh, go for it.
Or "love" as in maps? Because unless a client side update happens (a long shot), sniper friendly maps won't happen.
And regardless, any serious sniper love (that directly improves killing potential) without first/simultaneously addressing the redline issue would be foolish. But there I go again, realizing that some issues can overlap.
So really, fix the small things (render/reticule/whatever). Then, if that isn't enough, a longer look (that includes the redline) may be in order. So yeah. I'm down for some small sniper love.

Arnold... I'm sorry, but he doesn't count anymore. I can't take that dude seriously. He's the governor of arguably the most ridiculous state in the USA, where the Marine Corps forces me to live. Oh, the crazy sh*t that I've seen...
Good 'ol Ahnold. No longer the governor of anything except himself.
Plus, he owns a tank. The one he used to pilot back in his time in the Austrian military. I don't see Chuck Norris doing anything cool now that he's old. Old age Arnie > old age Chuck (e cheese) Norris.
Uh... Anyway... Snipers? Uh, yeah, maps need some of those stupid roof walls removed that prevent sniping and heavies from being able to get off the building. Plus, more ladders. Verticality is good for not just snipers, but good for creating interesting, non-one dimensional fights.

More roofs should be opened up, and ladders would be a great boon, ESPECIALLY if we didn't have to stop in JUST the right spot to be able to hit a frickin button to climb up them... in slow motion. It's a very antiquated mechanic, really. We ought to be able to just have sticky physics with ladders that just allow us to run up to them and start climbing. But... these are some issues that would likely require a client update, and thus aren't likely to be implemented any time soon. I'd really just be happy to get a not-so-crappy reticule. Lol
I see your Chuck Norris propaganda and I raise you a personal message from Ahnold to you: here.
But, if you insist on Chuck, you may be interested in helping him out: call today!
And... Yeah, you are right on the ladders/roof point. Maybe with Legion. I myself would very much like a variable zoom with greater magnification capabilities. Hopefully that is more feasible.
