I beta tested this for you on live, and here are the results.

Hitting moving targets has now become guesswork and not skill. You can have a player inside the circle but not in your direct line of fire. Meaning you have to guess when they will enter the very center of your cross hair. Before this it was as simple as watching two points intersect. The player and your dot. If they kept moving at the same rate of speed hitting them was rather simple. It was timing. Not guess where the exact center of circle is and when they'll be there. The sniper rifle has been a precision weapon that kills people from great distances by lining up shots. Now your exact direct line of fire is lost, the circle actually clutters up your shot. I feel like I've lost the ability to get moving head shots. Sadly, I was correct when I called this change the "guestimation circle of poor aiming".

I had a friend of mine who is one of the top players for battlefield 4 as a forward recon give me his opinion of the sight. He said he didn't like it at all, that sight already exists in battlefield 4 and very few people choose to use it. I was like no ****.

In conclusion..

• Hitting moving targets has become more difficult (no fixed accurate point for your line of fire)

• Just because someone is inside your circle doesn't mean you can hit them.

• Hitting someone who is head glitching has become more difficult (you need to place the bottom portion of an invisible dot on the very tip top of their head, and for this reason it favors degenerate red line snipers)

Sorry CCP Logibro, I appreciate the attempt to make the role better. I appreciate the slight damage increase to light damage mods now. I do not however appreciate the 1000-1400hp assaults running around. The Sniper Rifle isn't tuned to be effective against that much health by the way. You try it.

Your the kind of sniper that sits in the redline with a charge and wyk swarms in case of dropships. The only people that could get to you were the guys the got OB to get rid of you. But you came right back anyways so you guys did it to yourself.

But he look at the bright side 5000 WP OB xD

Stuff like this never happens in the red line..

Which is exactly why I don't snipe there. (unless it is the absolute best sniping spot for getting massive amounts of kills)

What is the name of that track that's assaulting my ears?

Did you know it's easier to kill people the closer you are?

Truth.

Then why use a sniper rifle?

There are only so many good sniper locations.. I fear they'll find me with a scanner unless I have a defensible position.

Because it exceeds the range of Forge Guns.

When you kill someone, there's no kill cam but you still have a range indication. They can create a radius from point of death and figure out where you were. The greater the range the longer it'll take to find you and the more time you have to change position or prepare for an ADS or DS with gunner.

But if I was closer, why wouldn't I just use a Forge Gun. I can actually get a 1 hit kill with the FG if they're close enough.

Whenever I was sniped by him, he shot me from 250+ meters out. So I wouldn't consider it close at all.

I vote to change the name of sniper rifle to "Blunderbus" or "Musket".

Thanks for the support everyone. Please, if you know any snipers in Dust 514 that do not use the forums please encourage them to come here and post about this. Clearly I hate the change, but I respect anyone who tries to snipe in the current game state and would like to hear what they too have to say.

Sniper Rifle changes are coming in Hotfix Delta..

This is the time that snipers should be voicing their opinions for future relevance.

I find it better than before, it does not blend with textures or with the skybox and i have no problem hitting targets, at least not more than i had before.
