So i saw all the moaning coming from snipers about the new reticle and how hard it is to get headshots, i havnt sniped since beta and all ive got is an adv sniper.

As you can see in my montage there's nothing wrong.

You might need to Manually switch it to HD btw :)

Just a few questions really, (haven't been able to watch the vid yet, will check it tomorrow)

You said you haven't sniped since beta.
How do you know if it's worse or not then?

You wanted to prove the snipers wrong about the sniping reticule by close range and counter sniping?
1st. Why bother if you don't like sniping and haven't done it for the last year are you so determined to try to prove us wrong?
2nd. Your video, although sounding impressive seems to show you doing the exact opposite sniping to what we are saying is a problem so unless your trying to show that sniping can be done close range then you appear to have gone off track, so do you feel that you have shown this new scope is :
Good to kill using headshots on moving targets 200+ m?
Good for killing heavies quickly using multiple headshots? (although most avoid this with the Sr, it's vital for squad support)
Good for taking into pc battles?

If you were trying to say that it should be left alone because you think it will take snipers away from high places/redline then:
Do you think you could out gun heavies with logibros at close range?
Would you now then say that with your new appreciation of sniper rifles as cqc weapons decide to use it instead of the others available constantly?
Would you take a proto sniper rifle into a pc match to use this way?
As this was a montage I assume it won't show eol results so what were your scores on these maps? And would you be willing to make a video of you doing a full round like this and keep the results screens too?

Lastly just because we like to snipe as a sniper, not a marksman does not mean we all want to red line snipe, and seriously I'm always posting about sniper's outlooks on the red line situation. Immediately jumping to the conclusion that because a player does not want the range nerfed on sniper rifles they must be red line players is not a neutral conclusion and reeks of bias.


Sorry if this seems like I'm being awkward, I know your a good player I've seen in game a few times now but If your trying to get this reticule to stay you should expect some unhappy players that do snipe and have been doing for at least the last year and we will be wanting proof that we are wrong about our way of sniping, not the way you say we should have to do it.

Sniping is about field of view..

If I had a small television, I would give up sniping immediately.

That wasn't sniping.

Calling your bluff, you're just arguing the point to get more views for your video.

170m is about as close as I want to be.. that's still seconds away from laser rifle / rail rifle range.. easily within forge range..

If you're stationary your position is rather obvious, often times there won't be good vantage points so close to relevant action.

:) good luck

Cloak / Submachine gun crutch, abuse those until you find militia suits to kill with a tactical.

Treat is like a bolt action, instead of a sniper rifle and you'll get the same results.

I can make a boring sniping vid if you really want me to.
