Damage buff? I say yes, but a slight one. 50 max. Maybe increase headshot damage multiplier 25% max.
ROF buff? I say no. Slightly decrease the charge time of the Charge SR.
Range nerf? I say NO, NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO! Extreme range is what makes a sniper a sniper.
Magazine/max ammo capacity nerf? No. Reloading means a lost target 90% of the time, and 31 rounds at level 5 is barely enough.
Most of the problems with snipers (being them, or being killed by them) stem from problems with the game overall, not from sniper rifles:
-The removal of perches within the burnzone pushed SOME sniper rifle users behind their redlines. Some were there before, but there are definitely more now. If people hadn't cried and got those perches removed, there wouldn't be as many people using sniper rifles in the redline. Not to mention those perches were the best places to kill people shooting from the redline!
-Terrain glitching allows shady shooters to wedge themselves in a crevice or behind a mound where they can shoot others, but others can't hit them, even when the reticule turns red.
Fixing those two things would go a long way towards improving the game for people on both ends of the sniper rifle.
Here's another idea: make the sniper rifle like cloaks - give them a CPU/PG bonus for scouts, making it harder for other suits to fit what is supposed to be a scout-centric weapon. Could a heavy still fit a sniper rifle? Sure, but he won't be able to multitank his shields and armor. Not saying it's a perfect idea, but it's better than most people's. |

I would like a permanent insta-ban for anyone who brings up the redline in sniper threads. That's sniper rifle related, right? |

Granted, but some people think the redline is the ONLY thing (or at least the most important) that matters when talking about the sniper rifle in any way. |

You have to remember, forks, that these pleas for reduced sniper range are coming from idiots who think there's actually a way to force snipers to just shoot from any old open, ground-level location in the burn zone. IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. |
