Perhaps you shouldn't be traveling into an open field?
I don't see people complaining abut Shotguns when they get killed by one in a compound. Well i do, but their complaint doesn't hold merit.

@Lorhak Gannarsein
A sniper taking potshots at an objective is in no way a problem (unless of course, they can view the hacking terminal). However, you also forgot to mention the 3rd option, which is hunting and killing the Sniper.
If you do not take the initiative to do so, then the Sniper deserves to relentlessly kill an entire team in the same sense that an HAV can (will, and should) relentlessly murder an entire team if they refuse to use AV weapons.
@Cat Merc
That's not entirely true, as at any point in time a Sniper can be killed by those weapons as well (unless they're in the redline, which is an issue of Redline Mechanics, not the Sniper Rifle).
@Arkena Wyrnspire
If "not traveling in an open area" is a problem, then why not hunt down and kill the Sniper? As for having LOS on an Objective Terminal from the redline, that's a problem with Redline Mechanics, not the Sniper Rifle itself.
Am I posting in a stealth "nerf Snipers for killing me within their niche" thread? If so, then please excuse me, as I need to replace the ass I just laughed off.

Well, that's ONE weapon, compared to every single weapon in DUST.
A Sniper can be killed by every single weapon besides a Swarm Launcher (and theoretically a Flaylock Pistol), so your point is moot.

I once got killed by a Thale's sniper from 596m. I was in a cheap suit (i.e. free) so it was an OHKO. I was in the centre of the map. Please tell me how I'm supposed to fight him? I can't find him on a vehicle scanner because he's dampened, I can't move fast enough with a wide enough scan radius to find him on foot, I haven't invested enough SP in SRs to beat a redline Thale's Sniper who's probably in a bricked GalScout or something. I can't even rail him thanks to the range nerf, even if I could find him. Makes killing the fatsuit ones a chore too.
I emphasized some text for you.
Quote:This is a disturbingly similar argument to the one you railed against for so long from tankers.
I don't remember saying that the best and/or only counter to a Sniper should be another Sniper, nor do I remember saying that it should require multiple players to kill a Sniper.

Hidden and tucked behind the redline? Get real, their risk is FAR lower than any other combat unit and you know it.
Are you implying that the only place Snipers are is the redline?

Why wouldn't they be?
They have 600m of range, and a safe spot from where they can take pot shots at people way, way outside of their range.
Because not every vantage point is in the redline, and because most times sniping from the redline only works when your enemy team stays in one area.
Not to mention that supporting your team by doing other actions, such as placing Drop Uplinks and hacking unguarded objectives aren't possible from the redline.
Would it be safe to assume that you have not played with a dedicated Sniper, and/or have never been a Sniper who's done anything outside of the redline? Also, I'd appreciate it if you answered my question.
