Matches seem to be much more fun now that snipers had to come out of the redline. I'm actually shot by snipers more often and killed by them 100% more often with the current changes.
I believe the sniping that is happening is more effective overall. Perhaps it's less likely for a sniper to go without dying during a match, but that's okay in my opinion.
I guess some people are going to need to find something else to boost their KDR.

Dust 514 is supposed to be team based gameplay, with communication.
Adding trails to sniper rifle rounds? After a handful of kills it should be rather obvious where someone is sniping from.
The complaint of not having enough good sniping locations wouldn't exist if this were not true.
This is the cry of a solo player seeking a revenge kill and in my opinion is garbage.
Most players in matches don't do anything about vehicles. I can't imagine very many take the time to call in a dropship and hunt down a sniper based on bullet trails.
Sniping shouldn't be any more rewarding than it is now IMO. I'm very biased on the issue, but out of all the things that you'd want to incentivize in a FPS I think the least would be sniping.
Range warfare should be a thing, but fun is generated in CQC fighting.

Also if it hasn't been done yet, remove the MLT fit sniper fitting. (please)
You know you want to.
I think they should change the light weapon operation requirement to L4 as well.
In my opinion the worst thing a new player to this game could do is snipe right away.

We all know the sniper rifle can only be used from distances which in real life would be considered extreme: The sort of range you see in films like Shooter, Enemy at the Gates, but NOT the likely range used by snipers covering friendlies in the field, who tend to be a lot closer (as far as my armchair expertise goes).
I want real sniper rifles. The new range is fine for me, but can I get something that I can aim at a target, say 250m away but also kill someone 30m away; something I can use quickly and then move, not sit on a hive in the hills all day relentlessly executing the same clueless, respawning noob and the occasional scout.
I don't snipe. The action in this game is too intense and I like to be involved directly, not watching from the red zone. But the real reason is. The rifle is ****. I know it is for balance, but why would anyone ever make a mag-fed rifle with only 3 Fuggin bullets per CliP!! It is boring. And I don't always have a mouse handy.
I only counter-snipe. Something I will do begrudgingly if I die three times to the same sniper. And then I always win. Always, love sniping! Love it. I think people who do it all day are twats.
Yup, that's you.
I don't care anymore, sorry.
Can we STOP rebalancing this game now please!
What good would it do to stop balancing the game?
That would be really stupid.
