I didn't see anything concrete here, increase headshot multiplier, range, make other snipers than Thale's powerful, increase scope zoom....

Anecdotally I haven't been killed by a sniper in ages, get picked off once in a blue moon if I am careless and in open under half hp. I need to look at the numbers, but sniper use is very stable, none of the rifles or new weapons have had a meaningful impact on the use of sniper rifles, so it's a steady group of people who like to snipe apparantly, I am not even sure they venture into Tac AR or SCR at all.

Feel free to share, we have no specific hate/love with snipers, they should have a viable place on the battlefield like all of our weapons.

Sadly, I agree.

I don't hate snipers or their rifles...but i do hate the redline and the people sit inside of it. Low risk, high reward.

1. Give snipers some sort of reticule for hipfire (even if it's bigger than the HMGs)--just give some idea of where my shot will go if I need to defend myself!

Another highly serious problem with snipers is the fact their bullet trails are invisible so even if you do manage to not only survive or dodge the sniper you cannot fathom where he is exactly at most of the time.

While this can be argued that other games get away with this most often those other games have 1. excessively limited number of sniping spots. 2. Kill cams, 3. Far better hit incoming indicators. 4. Better kill readouts.

Also its been generally known that if the game doesn't draw the source of the shot it doesn't draw any weapon effects they use. Which is why there have been calls to reduce range in exchange for power. It would increase the risk and the reward for sniper players.

There are other finer points that need addressing but for the most part the snipers are most of the time too weak and excessively difficult to get a follow up shot on even on moving targets regardless at distances due to the lack of acceleration on controllers making most aiming knee jerkingly bad but this is apparent an inherent nature of ps3 controller. I am not sure how bad the mice and keyboard folks have it though.

Whoa. The platoon on second deck in boot had a DI named Sgt Foster. That dude was a demon. Lol AMAZING drill instructor.
What do you like about my name? My actual name, or alliance name?

Let's get this reticule changed, for Chesty, and some all-around sniper love for Hathcock. Lol

Ratati, can I haz more Thales? Hard to do point defense against proto sentinels and proto logistics with an ishukone with 2 damage mods and prof 3.
Ps. Don't tell me to use the charge, because I hate it.

I think all the sniper rifles should have a 'hollow dot aiming reticle' where the dot is slightly larger but is 'hollow' in the center, meaning it has not been filled up in the center. (100% see through at the center of the dot)

All sniper rifles should have there zoom increased, having a variable zoom would be 'icing on the cake' (variable zoom means 2 or 3 zoom options that I can cycle through at the push of a button)

Increase the headshot damage multiplier of all regular sniper variants until all suits are killed in 1 headshot shot, but the toughest heavies take 2 headshots to die from a regular sniper variant (tactical variants of snipers should take 3 head shots to kill a heavy).

A headshot to a heavy with 1500 total hp should take roughly 950 hp from an advanced regular sniper (without damage mods). Roughly 800 hp from a standard regular sniper.

Charge snipers should take 2 headshots to kill a heavy as well. 1 headshot should be roughly 1100 damage without damage mods.

Add a small charge time to the thale sniper rifle.

@ Rattati

Would recommend first trying an increase to headshot multiplier.

I don't redline snipe, though I am sure I've done it without realizing once in a blue moon simply because I have no concept of where it is. Tt would be helpful to know when you are in your redline. Remember - there isn't a way to know for sure if you are. There should be a yellow zone to at least notify you where you are.

CCP Rattatatttaaatttaatttttii - can this be implemented easily?

4. 10x damage bonus on headshots. (No more ******* surviving headshots from Thale's and Charge sniper rifles! Heck no more surviving headshots from sniper rifles at all! Even non-snipers don't fuss about getting headshotted. Sometimes you just get got.)
