Headshot, Body Shot doesn't matter. Yep just one-shotted a 1600 HP suit from deep redline with a charge. Surprised me, but now I am not very happy about it. Just means that everyone is now as annoying as a thales was, while being ONLY 150m deep in the redline instead of 300 meters. It also means that there is going to be 4-5 snipers for every domination, and that most maps are going to suck because of how open they are.
Nah. Was sniping earlier to try out the Ishukone post-Delta (pre-Delta it was Charge or Thale's or go home). Ishukone works, 1 headshot and 2 bodyshots to put down a ak.o sentinel. I'm satisfied with it. Anyway, I was the only sniper on my team. There was one enemy sniper outside of my 450m range, I wasn't seeing his name in the killfeed too much so I didn't think anything of it until he flew a dropship to my perch. He jumps out, in his LOGI suit, with his SR and tries to kill me. I was in ck.0 commando with a basic repper and 3x Comp Dmg Mod. My secondary weapon was Wyrkomi Swarms. I just didn't see his dropship come around the back way, very stealthy approach. With no recourse, I had to beat him in a melee dance. I then killed two more, this time keeping a better vigil for dropships...
Sure enough, he came again, this time in an assault suit (which I saw as he bailed out of his burning dropship).
However, I still died because that burning dropship landed on me and he got a road kill out of it. So I switched to my mk.0 scout, went up on the hillside and stabbed four snipers (the match was basically over, so they all came out of the woodwork), shot one Frontline suit with my KLO ScP, then the match ended with me having gone 18-1 altogether.
**** was so cash.

And you shall know me by the sound of Charge SR bullets whizzing by your head as I miss repeatedly.

Because headshots were factored into potential kills / clip.
Shoot scout with yes.

either way its going to take some time before the new behaviors settle into normal game play as the meta relearned.
I am likely not going to suggest any further actual range nerfs. Rather focus on the zoom instead as a means of further drawing the sniper in closer but letting those who are good shots continue to remain at their far range.
If ccp however insists on drawing the range down further though I have a do not go past 300 meters sign already ready for it.
Agreed. Anything past 300 meters is dangerous territory. It still isn't going to fix the issue because people will sit in the redline by the closed null cannon and pop off while the rest of us have to try and find MORE new positions. This is going to lead to Rooftop camping all over the place because it is the only place a sniper will be able to go within the killzone that has a vantage point and isn't smack dab in the middle of the action.
As for the zoom, I haven't even tried it yet so can we hold off a little bit on the proposed changes. The Thales was the only scope before that had legitimate zoom. I'm hoping that change from 18 to 15 (whatever the hell those numbers mean) is enough of a bump to zoom that it's not like looking through an old 4 power Weaver scope with non adjustable zoom. because that is what the old zoom was. At 300 meters headshots were a complete guessing game. Anything farther and I'm not even bothering with anything other than a body shot. With the charge, the Headshot is necessary with the clip/total ammo nerf so we are going to need that additional zoom to try and line our headshots up.

I dont know about you guys. But I snipe and I look for redlines from diffrent areas. Once I kill or think I've been noticed I move. Also I would love to max out stuff but I have only been playing for like 2 weeks. So still grinding to get sp to work on suit and weapons. |
