Pretty sure it's not the snipers that are the problem, but rather the lack of good places to snipe from in many maps. If the maps were changed, I'm sure that snipers would move closer to the kill zone.

If that's the case then stop sniping and contribute to the match.

Snipers do contribute - they can provide intel, they can shoot the invisible shotgunner before they kill a teammate or cover an objective.

If you'd ever seen me in a heavy suit, you'd know I contribute much more as a sniper!

I've only ever met one use full sniper generally when I form a squad I ask what everyone runs..If you say sniper and yes that's your only species role...UNLESS you are my old friend symbiotic forks ..i kick ya. A sniper should skirt the squad they are in providing intel and cover fire ...no one does this in dust snipers are solitary players who have no skill in their other roles ..they sit in one place and shoot in one direction and are off mic..

I welcome a good sniper in my squads so long as you have alternate roles. I don't wanna hear hey can u fly me up their ...no u should be able to fly yourself up there. Good snipers are so rare in dust though
...might as well be non existent ...and I don't get it at all..i run lr..i run around always engaging people at 100m...so if your a sniper and your a ghost 75 m behind me you should be indestructible ..specially on a invisible scout not camping ..anyways ..i think there is a place for a scout sniper role in dust it's just not used often. I've been thinking about setting up a scout sniper personally and trying a closer style engagement ..something like 250m. With a charge sniper ons amar scout with a cloak..but I could never have fun in the redline in one place ....and I see every spot that laser able as snipe able and laser is possible on every map

Nope, it just means that you'll have to bring a sniper that much further into the warzone if you want to counter-snipe the person in the redline. Mike Patton is the greatest singer in music.

Not "fixed", more de-incentivized. With the range reduction to sniper rifles you now have to be closer to your target if you are camping out in the redline. The closer you are, the easier you are to be popped by a hostile sniper (or forge gun ) He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...

I tend to move around the map to let the squad know what's safe to hack and what's surrounded by heavies. All the snipers I've played with from my corp do the same- that's what a sniper is for. Some maps aren't suited for snipers, I admit that, but I know of nobody who only runs sniper fits. There are idiots who use every weapon. And my KDR is far from impressive. I definitely don't snipe to preserve it. I snipe because I enjoy it. I seriously doubt is even own a Playstation if the role was removed.
