0% risk or reward my butt. Snipers are easy sitting targets. The only problem is heavy and super tanked Assault snipers. You know a sniper is UP when you can't even kill enemy snipers with headshots. You guys are just lazy and want the sniper to stay in the dirt just because you don't want to pick up the sniper and actually counter snipe. The last time I was killed by a sniper was literally a month ago. How sad, I have been killed more by flay locks and ion pistols than snipers.

I remember a time when you had to be careful crossing large areas. Now even a militia scout can survive a direct hit from a Thales. I remember a time when you had to have a counter sniper in your squad because snipers were good but ever since they have been getting nerfed into the ground. Assault HP buff, Damage mod nerf, new crosshairs ect. ect.

Pretty much, sniping is horrible because everyone cries when sniped. Grow a ******* pair and deal with it you got headshotted.


but noooooooo you can take it you get so butt hurt.



So now head shots do nothing.

the sniper rifle has been all but made useless.

Not to mention the amount of cheating the rest of you losers have to do.

Snipers in redline are usless. You can't even see the person 350m out, you just gotta rely on the little arrow above their head and the way the new crosshairs are set up, you can't see what you're shooting and the person is smaller than the crosshairs 350m out. The zoom on the SR is set up for a weapon used within 150m

Yeah I snipe from the red line but usually that is because I want a over head perch. Since no maps offer a high ground else where the red line is a choice spot.

And with the amount of cheaters that sit in my red line waiting, I don't ******* care. (Outer Heaven has removed the red line from many of my matches.)

Fix the Sniper rifle with a buff to damage and zoom, and I may leave the red line to start hunting. Though I for see to many cry babies to allow it to happen.

Outer Heaven removed the redline? wtf are you talking about? Are you KingThunderbolts alt? I'm going to ask CCP to create a BPO vehicle for you. A shortbus BPO to get out of that redline..

Well, think about it, back then a headshot meant death, which also made it easier to counter snipe so there weren't that many people ballsy enough to risk losing a Thales. Now that the sniper rifle is underpowered, countering that Thales guy in the back of the redline means figuring out how to efficiently take out 1000+ HP before he realizes what is happening and hides. Counter sniping people like that is so inefficient that it borders on insanity. What are we, snipers, to do if infantry cried to nerf the sniper and up the amount TTK which indirectly killed the most efficient counter to the 1000+eHP Thales.

The only counter then is either another Thales, which means the opposing Thales user will have to cross the battle field and risk his Thales to take out another Thales who is chilling in the redline, or some other unconventional and equally inefficient method.

People who complain about redline sniping being zero risk forgets that it is the underpowerness of all the other snipers that make it no risk to redline snipe. The weakness of the rifle gives added protection to many redline snipers from the elite snipers.

So if good snipers see the inefficiency in killing pub Thales users then how does one expect the rest of the player base to compete.

no I mean Outer Heaven made it so they could stand under the MCC and be with in 10m of the ground spawn.

Outer Heaven are lag switch using, out right hak using cheaters.

Plus the list I've compiled thus far, laziness has stopped me from my idea of daily post of the cheaters that refuse to get hit and when they do the magicly jump behind me.

But this derails the thread.


Snipers rifles need a better zoom, 25% of the thale's at ADV, and 75% of the thale's at proto.

Personally i like sniping with my forge gun.
I wish i had a scope on it because its really hard to see targets that are far away but the forge gun is really effective as a sniper weapon.

snip

Have you ever picked up a Sniper?

rediculous

Played a game last week where snake sellors went 52/0 big surprise HE LEFT THE REDLINE.

52/0 sniping? Damn. My best is 31/1 with the Kaalakiota TAC. And I was nowhere near the red line, was on Fracture Road dom.

Translation : I was actually killed once each round by a sniper, but only once!

Considering I play both sides of this situation, I'm wondering when this was? Cause I've been here since E3 2012.

there is 0% risk when you sit on your butt in the redline in a commando suit which iirc cannot get headshot OHKed

So we all know realism isn't something we balance dust on. In rl..There is no magical redline that prevents a sniper from being hunted down. ..i think the solution should be to nerf sniper range so it just isn't possible to snipe far from in the redline.

And buff the damage to be more adequate .I'm no sniper but from what I read..REAL snipers don't sit in the red line in dust..so why not trade a bit of your range for more damage?
