boo ******* hoo.. forces you redliners a little closer to the action huh?

You have absolutely no clue. This misinformed attitude is exactly why this happened.

yea, because snipers are supposed to be close to the action....

Is this a complaint about the assault suit buff, or did something else happen to sniper rifles? Can't access the PS3 at the moment, so I'm a bit out of the loop.

i play scout and comando, little assault but my FOTM is commando atm.

i don't snipe and i hate being 1 shot all the time in my scout suit, but i do believe that now the snipers are deserving of a damage buff. read every forum post i have made about snipers and you will see i deplore them, but when i can get a basic assault to 750 EHP and advanced to the best part of 900EHP you need to increase those damage numbers so a reguar sniper will 2 shot a medium and a tactical 3 shot .

i feel dirty even saying it

At high ranges it's going to look like you have a shotgun spread over someones head when lining for a headshot.

It now uses the Laser Rifle's doughnut shaped reticle. And the circle is quite large, when there's no deviation from the center it makes it guess work instead of your skills at precision when hitting a target.

THIS THREAD RIGT HERE!


Why didnt you listen to reason Rat? why?

No. It doesn't. It promotes head glitching from the red line because it's now even harder to counter.

I did matches sniping from 190-240m away today. It was awful. Hitting moving targets with no fixed point on your sight made it all guesswork. It's inaccurate and sloppy. For a precision weapon, this is a nightmare.

We are actually shooting nerf balls now. You know, those big squishy imitations of real balls that get blown all over the place? Nerf bullets that hit SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY of where you aim.

So long to skill shots, so long to precision, so long to sniping.

This sucks.

Damn CCP and damn all you blueberrys that liked the post when he asked if anyone was in favor of it. If you clicked that thumbs up I am completely convinced that you have no idea what you are talking about and I resent you supporting this abortion of an idea to the degree that it actually came to pass.

Lol, even a range and damage debuff would be better than this nonsense. It's unbelievable. SNIPERS ARE NERFED EVERY TIME IN EVERY UPDATE. AND EVEN IN BETWEEN UPDATES. If Symbiotic's vids haven't shown the dynamism Sniping adds to this game yet then I don't know what will.

Whatever. Kill Sniping. You will still have red line snipers and you will still have people complaining about snipers. What you won't have are people like Symbiotic who actually progress sniping and make it legitimate and respected.

I for one quit. Screw this. See you on legion. Assuming it's not just another COD clone after they decide to get rid of long range engagements all together because all of you don't have enough sense to keep moving and find cover then come on the forums and complain about how you can't kill a sniper with your shotgun.

Gyah.

is snipeing a actual role in this game where you get upset about it being nerfed? cause i was under the impression that is what people do half way thru the match of getting stomped to go up in a hill and snipe. you mean this is something people put SP in and do it on purpose at the start of ever match.

boo ******* hoo.. forces you redliners a little closer to the action huh?

Since apparently it isn't clear the complaint is about the new reticle. I tried it and did not like it. Instead of a dot obscuring the target, you now have a circle obscuring the area around the target and the hole is large enough that you can be off target and still sight them through the hole. I don't understand why we don't have crosshairs with a fine center.

I'm not a sniper but this doesn't work, you can not accurately track a target with this sight. It may be useful for stationary targets but that is all.

Yeah, tried it out.
Iz bad.
