If you think any dropsuit/role in this game shouldn't have to check their surroundings from time to time than it is you that doesn't understand this game.
No, you really don't get it. The point of sniping is to get in a location that you have already considered what would be behind you. That is impossible with all but save one or two well known spots on maybe a couple of maps. This game has become one big arena rumble and sniping (as well as most anything that is not cloaked ninja crap) has been ruined because of it. Might as well remove sniping because this game is fail as a ground combat game.
If we didn't already have the whole cloaked scout thing added to the game maybe Rattati's statement would fly. MAYBE.
I suppose since it has been abandoned, CCP figured they'd let the one employee that digs the game have a go with it. He liked Quake Arena so figured that'd be cool to emulate.

Lol, what? Yeah ok. I HAVEN'T DONE THAT AT ALL.
Answer: You can't. No, really, you can't. CCP has done everything in its power to nerf it. The redline IS the most valid way and nobody likes that. Also, there is no reason a sniper should have to worry about anything as ridiculous as a cloaked ninja scout while sniping. Other then land a dropship on top of a building, wear a scrub commando suit and snipe within regular rifle range, there is no way you can do sniping as it would be in REAL LIFE. This game has taken what plausibility it did have compared to real life and flushed it for the console crowd.
Face it, you gameboys don't get sniping, don't like it and want a silly jumpy, jumpy roundabout arena game. Just take sniper rifles out if you don't like it instead of nerfing it and acting like sniping should be like everything else.

If the sniper is spotted then HE has failed to understand sniping. Believe it or not IRL snipers have a really obnixiously short life expectancy. Carlos Hathcock and Vasiliy Zeitzev are the exception, not the rule.
Spotted. Not already checked a position and take it, but spotted. There is a difference. A sniper will set up and do whatever to ensure his rear is protected, blocked or unlikely to have an encounter. Also, being a video game we don't get thevisual, tactical nor tactile quality of real life so already the situation is handicapped.
What he won't do is get in a position where he has to constantly check his six WHILE sniping. And you know what won't be on his six . A F*CKING CLOAKED SCOUT NINJA. You can't turn around fast enough by the time a sig pops up and get one shotted by a scout while still in cloak unless you have a great internet connection. Everything syncs a second or two after it happens on my end, not sure about others.
Also, a sniper wouldn't run around constantly as if he had a regular rifle unless he is a designated marksman. You can hardly do that in this game because squads don't move tactically as in real life. Everybody is constanly running around and around and around.
Face it. You don't like sniping and enjoy seeing it nerfed into the ground. Just go ahead and remove it if you need it nerfed so bad to compete with your cloaked scout game.
