If that's max range, that's essentially removing snipers from the game. sidenote: When changing between sniping and run and gun ground infantry.. I have to change my controller sensitivity.. Meaning the CQC Sniper CCP apparently wants as an option (but not quickscoping) will likely require a different sensitivity setting since the ranges will be very close in comparison to traditional sniping. The last thing I enjoy doing is in the middle of a match resetting my sensitivity settings so I can tactically respawn into a new suit.. with a not so tactical delay because I was in options menus messing with sliders. Maybe they could put a sensitivity slider in specifically for 'sniper' weapons. Not sure if its possible without a client update though. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.

And now that it's happening according to your good folks own requirements.. i'm starting to see "don't give them enough damage to be a real threat" so which other weapon then uses three or five shots in a clip, requires it's user to crouch down, needs the time to aim down sights in order to hit the side of a building from anything greater than 50m away, has no hip fire capability, no aim assist, no ability to provide close range protection for it's user? You people are hilarious, and we're supposed to listen to your arguments? at this rate the sniper rifle will be outperformed by a person using his fists.. oh.. erm what? IT ALREADY IS!! They just don't understand Snake and if they do they just do not want to compromise . After Delta I'm going strictly commando so whatever happens to the sniper rifle will effect me greatly because that's all I will do is snipe and anti-vehicle , pretty much what I do now ( getting prepared ) but I do mix in some heavy and logi work as well . Hopefully those who choose to will get some type of skill point refund so I can go strictly commando and commando only . When this game is over , I would like to be known in the top ten in snipers to go along with you and sym and some of the other well known snipers . True. But we should keep on making the same old counters to the same old suggestions, we are after all the ones who snipe. And I know that we aren't being unrealistic in our requests as do you. Thanks, BTW. But honestly I have no idea where I rank amongst our snipers here. Only the devs have that info, I can say I managed around 1600 or so during one of the data mining weekends. Can't remember exact figure now. But that wasn't even close to the winner or runner up. I'm modest too Symb To my mind that is sniping. The patience etc. Also we use very similar methods and target choice. Although you wouldn't quick scope you would easily ruin teams as a guerilla sniper... Trust me
Auris Lionesse Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 972	Posted - 2014.09.05 15:20:00 - [37] - Quote snipers need zoom, better aiming for leading targets at range, for the rendering glitches to be fixed, and a proper reticule. headshots should be a 1 hit kill in any game period. i dont care what the body damage is. it could heal them for all i care. if i dont get a headshot i consider it a missed shot. i just need headshots to kill when my reticule is red and the person is not behind some invisible box 400m away. you can aim right at someones head deadcenter while theyre standing still and not kill them because of some stupid crate which is bs. thats a kill shot. you need to die. you can make it whatever range you want, just fix the glitches and give me real zoom with headshots that terminate clones.

Dexter307 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar 1611	Posted - 2014.09.05 16:07:00 - [40] - Quote I think 400 meter max would work fine Snipers should require headshots to be really effective though.

I don't think you understand what armor and shielding does, if targets have enough hp after headshot modifiers they should certainly survive. Clones have 10hp base (which is a lot more than a base human lacking our improved physiology), shields and armor may be abstractions but if a heavy can situationally survive a forge gun round, he can most certainly survive a headshot.

Sniping IS well done in Battlefield. You can have all the range and damage you want. You simply need to get a feel for muzzle velocity and bullet drop. Sniper rifles in Dust are fundamentally broken by being hitscan. But apparently, doing any kind of meaningful change to the sniper rifles is either impossible within the game engine, or impossible since they aren't releasing any major client updates. Probably a good idea to take this to the CPM, for some answers on it. Which I'll do right now. Set your goals high, and shoot for the moon; even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.

Railgun tech in our time can easily outdo these ranges without bullet drop, wind speed corrections or even the need to worry about travel time. The only reason they aren't already in use is because of the capacitors inefficiency and finding something solid enough to make the rails with. (We're nearly there on that one though) The projectiles from it would be able to penetrate tanks.. IRL.

I mean I have used the forge a fair bit, but I am by no means a forge gun king like some players out there. I have also tried the sniper rifle and I always found it hugely lacking. Ok some people are able to do work with it but for me / the average player, it doesn't offer a lot that the forge gun can't do better! With the sniper you are stuck in a crouched position, trying to stand up and shoot is hard work and there is no way you can move and shoot. Not only that, in close quarters if you are surprised or it just generally comes down to it, the sniper is 100% useless in close quarters barring the most lucky of lucky shots. Unless you are a really patient marksman , a player with amazing awareness of the battlefield or just generally a boring old camper, I personally feel the forge gun offers so much more with not a huge amount of downsides compared to the SR. That being said I am very bias in this regard coming from games such as Battlefield where snipers are a lot more useful. Let me also point out that I feel the Sniper is Under powered. I would ideally love for it to have more use as a standing fire weapon and maybe even give it some ability to move and shoot...... -=#[ Gastun's Forge ]#=- MY LIFE FOR AIUR!

The sniper sound is so loud and distinctive it makes finding them by sound alone rather easy and they are almost always sitting ducks, sniper locations are also pretty easy to guess. If they can't get the protection of the redline then they need to be harder to locate. Because, that's why.

Less zoom. more damage. (reasonable 400-500hp) Stand & shoot. Yeah, cos nothing makes an FPS more enjoyable than getting OHKed the moment you step outside So u want people to continue killing from the redline? Even if u manage to put an end to it, the snipers will get extinct.(cuz no one will use the rifle in its current state for a close i.e <300m range)

You don't need a 1 hit kill miniature forge gun to go sniping. If you get a headshot you should be rewarded with a kill otherwise sit around taking potshots for 15 minutes and get nothing for all I care. Need to teach you snipers to learn to get headshots.

Need to teach you snipers to learn to get headshots. headshots should be one hit kills though, or the zoom should be whatever i want it to be to maximize my accuracy. when your holding the button to stay scoped in. up and down on the dpad should zoom you in and out like on a digital camera. this is just common sense. dust should be innovating. give the snipers variable camera zoom.
