Snipers - We simply cannot have snipers so far away in the redzone they cannot be touched, while also being immune to countersniping.

We have been studying Domination maps, and some of the farthest redline sniper spots that can camp the Objective to get a good gauge of the situation. There cannot be a risk free way of playing the game, for each role there must be a counter.

ps.. please do QQ and whine.. it will just make your tears all that much more sweet knowing i was right all along.

They can nerf the range all they want im still gonna redline snipe anyway i can. Doesnt make a lick of difference to me. Besides we all knew CCP hates snipers anyways so they were bound to nerf sniper rifles into oblivion

Ironwolf saber. by all means 450m sounds reasonable to me, i would still suggest making absolute range further allowing extra range for counter sniping, post effective range it would take headshots to achieve anything, as in shots that are easy to line up against non moving targets.

Besides we all knew CCP hates snipers anyways so they were bound to nerf sniper rifles into oblivion See told you.. Range does not equal red line. Red line equals red line. To fix the red line issues requires red line issues to be fixed. You do not fix the red line by reducing range of a weapon. To leanna I say enjoy yourself, if you're in your red li e you'll probably be safe from me at least cause i'm not about to sort out problems caused by community qq. I.e don't expect me to trek across the map to near the enemy red line with reds all around in order to challenge a sniper that is already in an established position... You nice folk can pick those cherries yourself from now on.
