Nice straw man.

Those games offer 1 hit kills on headshots for all sniper rifles.

And near kills for body shots from a sniper rifle, and sometimes yes even straight up death for being hit at all.

Aggressive recon is also a thing in those games because the sniper rifles are balanced. You can run on the ground with your squad

and shoot people at close ranges with a sniper rifle, because unlike here in Dust 514. It will kill them, but your rate of fire / reload is higher

and aiming at those ranges is hindered. There's not the inevitable death that comes from using an assault rifle with auto aim.

I still died to an insane amount of Thale's and Charge Sniper Rifle. Nothing to see here. Moreover there's a fresking damage mod buff, use them.

I don't know what's whiniest between tankers and snipers community. Well-balanced games (read any other game) use waves of opportunity to snipers: you must shoot in a certain time in order to be effective and you should calculate at least the falloff. Is it too difficult? Don't Snipe then.

I'm sorry but what's the problem, the sniper has only had its sight changed according to the hotfix notes.

So long to skill shots

skill shots

skill

These change seemed good in theory, but not so much in execution.

At least I can tell if it's aimed at the head by looking at the % modifier though.

LOL, there is no skill required in sniping, lets get that part straight... No bullet phsics, no nothing, point and click.

90% of the weapons in DUST don't require skill either.

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.

With that logic 90% of the weapons in DUST don't require skill either.

Though getting a head-shot on a moving target isn't as simple as point and click (unless you're an idiot who likes running in a straight line), as you have to constantly re-adjust your aim and predict your target's movement path.

stuff

Lol. Even Rattati sees through your recliner-redliner bs.
He has repeatedly shown his belief that redline sniping needs to end.

Also, sniper rifles are more powerful than they have eve been, with MLT snipers being capable of OHKing a majority of suits.
Get closer and shoot them in the head scrub.

You realize this thread was necroed right?
