I would like to know when the prototype sniper rifles will have zoom in and zoom out control. Long range riffles should have control over how close it can zoom in and out what's the point of having the strongest sniper riffle on the market if we can't see anything long range |

As long as maps remain as small as they are,the answer is never.

CCP wants you out of the redline and the snipers zoom are fine as is. You have to pick between more damage per shot or longer range theres nothing wrong with that. |

Where in the original post did the OP indicate that he was sniping from the redline?

That's not right.... A snipers roll in combat is to kill from long distance with out being detected. If ccp is forcing us to move in closer then they are controlling the game. Snipers are suppose to be like ghost we can't use cloaks and we can't get zoom on the riffles. I don't snipe from the red line but I stay far enough away. I'm not spending any more money on this game |

Since when can snipers not cloak?
Oh wait you're using a heavy suit?
Working as intended. Move along. |

That lets me know i have blown your head off a couple of times. You probably the one that sent me the hate mail. I don't just use heavy suits and when you use a high power sniper riffle you can not use cloak I've tried. So yes keep it moving |

I have to admit that I am torn on this topic. Do I like the zoom in and zoom out control? Yes. Do I believe it is necessary? No.
On the other hand I would sacrifice some damage for longer range. I mean, what's the point of being a sniper if you have to be in someone's grill? Sniping is all about position. and callinf targets for your squad.
I used to play Battlefield 2142 and I was ranked in the top 300 in the world when it came to snipers.

You can use a cloak and a proto sniper on a scout suit.
Sentinels were deliberately nerfed to make it harder to fit light weapons.
And my caldarI commando counter sniper fit exists to punk sentinel snipers.
I don't send hatemail.
If you had successfully sniped me I would simply have responded by hunting you down and killing you. |

Nothing better than hopping out of the LAV behind them with an HMG and mowing them down.
Well maybe knifing them.

I don't understand why anyone would use a heavy suit for sniping. The scout suit allows for the best "get away" possible. As a heavy, well, you just can't run. I can see using a medium frame possibly but definitely not the heavy.
Heavy is NOT for sniping!

There are scrubs out there who will snipe with a heavy suit stacked with plates and damage mods.
They'll sometimes have a logi repping them too.
The idea isn't to "get away", it is to be "un-countersnipable".
Yes, I just created a new word.

Being "un-countersnipeable" is a good way to put it. Stupidity also works... its much easier to hit a heavy than a scout. Oh the joy of ignorant bliss. Just because they have a large hp pool doesn't mean a well placed shot won't fix them. That's why I would prefer the light frames above any other for sniping. One shot, one kill. Move, repeat.

102.recon batalion spec. AA/DA/Support
Nope boyo, completely wrong.
Recon should be active behind enemz line and givin' proper support through intel.
Sniper like specialization should be unseen, should be undetected and should desolate moral of enemy through ranged kills.
What i know from training we basicaly more move than scope.
There is nothing about long distance, in camo training you should be unseen even on one foot.
That movie b*shates how every sniper operate LR (long range) only leave for hollywood matee boyo
