The first problem, is that the hills and mountains on most maps are too low, making it impossible to counter high-ground campers until the peek their heads out. An easy example would be that one socket with the two buildings and really high tower.
Another problem I saw, is that there are too many fences and rails. This blocks what would otherwise be great places to Snipe, and doesn't make sense as any other weapon can be used perfectly in those areas since they don't require that you crouch.
Then there's the fact that you have to crouch to remove the sway. I understand there being an initial sway to prevent quick-scoping, but why require that you crouch if you're going to be stationary? All it does is stop you from sniping in places where it would actually make sense to snipe.
I also feel as if there aren't enough vantage points, especially in Skirmish where there are multipule objectives and places of interest. And of those few vantage points, most are very easy to find and visiting them will get you killed with ease.
But enough with my problems, what are yours with Sniping?

That they exist in the first place.
Semi-joking aside, I dont see why you cant steady the scope while standing up. I would use the tactical sniper more as a midrange / longrange marksman weapon if I didn't have to crouch to steady the bloody thing.
That's my problem with snipers. They just want to set up shop somewhere safe and camp / snipe away while honestly rarely ever contributing much to the battle at hand.
I want to be mobile, moving around the battlefield with my dampened scout picking off targets as I can. Not being anchored to one spot in a heavy suit like some sort of paper weight.

I use the TSR aka Tactical Sniper Rifle it may have the lower damage but the ROF is high enough.
most common places to find a sniper is between
1 redline
2 crouching some in the ground
3 locate navohive in the mountains or in the ground
4 lastly if your getting sniper get out of there soon as possible
Gellente Region = Freedom Fighters

My problem with sniping is that it is easyway but it isnt effective.
What I mean?
Easyway: you can just Sit there with a tanked suit risking almost nothing, your kdr Goes high, your isks go high, you risk close to nothing and earn a lot,
Non effective: while being easyway snipers are rarely (almost never) effective. Last sniper I saw in a PC was in first days of PC. Snipers are close to useless, they earn a couple o kills but cant effect the battlefield.
What I would like is CCP not buffing them, to not make them even more easyway, but at the same time make more effective.
An example on how they could do so?
If a sniper see an enemy he can Mark him (like if the enemy was scanned by an active scabner) for some seconds, to let everyone see him. The sniper also gains some WP for the Mark and more points if the player is killed while marked.
This is just a simple idea I had in this moment so it might be stupid, but I really thing CCP should make them more effective without any straight buff.
One of the few assaults you'll find in a PC match!

Atiim, I agree on all points. Not being able to stand without rifle sway severely hampers getting in closer to the action. Yes, sniper locations are limited because the terrain has/is not beneficial to our trade.
To those who hate snipers...I suggest you change the way you play the game. Use cover and don't be stupid and run out in the open, top of pipes and buildings. You know we are there, why put yourself in that position. Don't be pissed when we kill you.
Secondly, come and get us. I have been the victim of more and more counter snipes as of late. I like it! It adds to the gameplay when instead of crying about snipers someone counters. I'll be honest, if I'm getting kills and assist I will stay in my location until I'm found or someone counters me.

That seems to be the reason for many.
I am originally a sniper because I prefer to relax and let the kill come. Chances are, you'll get the lowest number of kills in a match, but sometimes, your team really needs a sniper on over watch. |

I hate that extra cover was added to objectives that I used to be able to defend from afar. It felt like the only purpose of that was to discourage snipers or make them less useful.
Also, I get really frustrated with the poor hit detection and issues with rendering. I can sometimes see another sniper's head, but can't hit it, no matter how hard I try. |

Definitely the glitched rendering for me.
I stopped being a frequent sniper long ago once it stopped being effective and I got into logi-ing. But, I still like to counter-snipe. It has got to be one of the most frustrating things in this game to try and do for the past several months, you just ping away at the head of that f*cker with the Thales for like a whole clip and... nothing!

My problem with sniping is that it can still be done so far in the damn redline.
My other problem is people sniping through the tops of hills so I can't get a shot back at them.
The biggest problem is that a sniper no longer renders visible on my screen at a distance where they can still hit me.

You know what would fix this right away? Foliage. Foliage that gives you partial and directional protection. This would be true to form for sniping. Replace the top of the hill sniping with in front of the hill behind foliage sniping. Then prevent firing from atop a redline hill that you can back down behind.
Also, I thought the cloak was going to assist snipers like a futuristic ghillie suit rather than give shotgun scouts a further leg up. Shotgun ninja scouting was never at a disadvantage, it was the general use of scout suits, particularly as sniper suits that was the problem.
I'd love to see an advantage given to using the scout suit for sniping over a medium or heavy suit. The shoot once from cloak makes too much sense. It is only one shot. Once you do that you become decloaked and exposed.

I've dropped my sniper skills and gone dropshipping. However, I pull out the mil rifle when I see an opportunity for sniping to help. When the dom objective is being camped and we're held back and I know of a place to get a good bead I do that.
Dropshipping with a blaster though seems to do the same thing. It may not hit anything, but it makes the reds scatter and have to deal with me rather than the infantry blue shooting at him.
Otherwise, I've gone to marking a dot on my screen and sniping close without scoping when my team is holding the objective and I can shoot out from a mid point. I haven't done a lot of that vs. dropshipping and playing alt chars.

It's boring to stagnate in the redline. Even guarding a lone objective warrants heightened alertness and utility.
Best fit is Gallente or Caldari Scout taking points with NK, then guarding indoor Obj with NK or outdoor Obj with SR.  Thrilling.

I'm fine with sniping now. Add two Complex Light mods and two enhanced dampeners to an Assault suit + advanced sniper rifle and level IV in sniping. You won't need anything else.
Feels just hard enough to discourage noobs from pursuing it and rewards people who are good at it. Some people will continue to snipe and suck, but that can't be helped.

I'll be happy for you to run in my squad Kodho. Maybe skill into swarms for AV if your gun game is really bad. Try piloting? Even running a dropships with a gunner or yourself as a gunner would be great. Show more faith in your skills!

Problems:
1. Headshot bonus has effectively negated the need to use anything other than the cheapest version of sniper rifles.
2. CCP has made the conscious decision to make sniping more difficult by adding more obstructions around congested areas. Understandable for maps like Manus Peak where you could pick off anyone that tried to hack a node, less so when nodes are now being placed inside of buildings and giving snipers little to shoot at.
3. A sniper that can't find targets to kill has no other way of contributing to the battle. As others have pointed out, at least allow them to act as spotters and highlight an enemy on the Tacnet.
4. Rendering is still a big issue. On the rare map where I can actually line up a shot to defend a node, the enemy will often not render until after I pass over them once or twice with the reticule...even on heavies.

For some reason they are allowed to fire their weapon 150m further than the next closest weapons in the game.
Why isn't 300m enough?
I'm all for snipers, but they should have to do it in the field of play, like everyone else. Most maps can have snipers able to shoot all the way to the objective, yet be so far back in the redline, that it would conclude in suicide to try and remove them. That's including the use of an ADS.
I think snipers should be more than a annoying scrub mechanic on the battlefield. I'm all for having them cover area around objectives, but not from in accessible locations. Its unbalanced.
The fact that you can sit so far away that the game doesn't even render(a sniper's biggest challenge) properly should tell you that it's ridiculous. |

That they exist in the first place. Semi-joking aside, I dont see why you cant steady the scope while standing up. I would use the tactical sniper more as a midrange / longrange marksman weapon if I didn't have to crouch to steady the bloody thing. That's my problem with snipers. They just want to set up shop somewhere safe and camp / snipe away while honestly rarely ever contributing much to the battle at hand. I want to be mobile, moving around the battlefield with my dampened scout picking off targets as I can. Not being anchored to one spot in a heavy suit like some sort of paper weight.
Who is this "they" of which you speak? Of all the Sniper threads created I've yet to see one person (who snipes) defend the crouching mechanics, while I've seen several push for it's removal.
Though I should mention that Heavy suits are terrible for Sniping as you're easy to find, slow, and will be OHK'd by an enemy Sniper either way. I agree on your other points though.

Then there's the fact that you have to crouch to remove the sway. I understand there being an initial sway to prevent quick-scoping, but why require that you crouch if you're going to be stationary? All it does is stop you from sniping in places where it would actually make sense to snipe.
I also feel as if there aren't enough vantage points, especially in Skirmish where there are multipule objectives and places of interest. And of those few vantage points, most are very easy to find and visiting them will get you killed with ease.
But enough with my problems, what are yours with Sniping? I use the TSR aka Tactical Sniper Rifle it may have the lower damage but the ROF is high enough. most common places to find a sniper is between 1 redline 2 crouching some in the ground 3 locate navohive in the mountains or in the ground 4 lastly if your getting sniper get out of there soon as possible
Yep. Very true. Also, if I may add a number five, look for drop uplinks in the redline (specifically hilly areas) and in the "mountains". If you see a droplink + hive package, watch out. :P Blueberries who just spawn in dont need ammo. Y'know what does? Snipers. Obviously there are sniper favorites on certain maps. You just gotta learn what they are. An example are the six towers on Line Harvest. Look around the base of those and on top. If you're in the right spot (which isnt hard to get in as there are multiple areas around that map) you can pick off the snipers on top of each of the towers who stick their heads out. 60pts and a chance to **** off a sniper. :P
From a sh*tty sniper to my fellow blueberries (and cranberries so watch your heads :D), hope that helps!

I've been doing better than ever before, I'll admit the Charge is now the worst Sniper Rifle but its still in a better than it was before, what is ruins sniping for you ?
It's not in a better place at all.
- Range
- Clip Size
- Headshot Dependant
- Bullet Trail
The previous version could down a heavy with body shots, given every game goes below 30 fps, body shots were consistent ways of dealing with threats. You're better off using a standard sniper rifle with longer range, and more bullets to spam hoping for headshots.
The tradeoffs weren't worth it, they neutered the Charge Sniper Rifle.

You're welcome, kind of insisted that they retain clip size and be charge variant.

I used to be a sniper, I believe it or not, was a big help in keeping the Objective in our hands then.
Now when redlined I (sometimes) snipe, regularly to scatter them a bit, but I get headshots by accident...
I miss the days when you didn't have to be a Prototype Galmando with a Thale in the Redline to be a sniper...
