I've said this a bunch, but I don't normally red line / MCC snipe. (it has a negative perception, and often has you so far back you lose out on a bunch of possible kills.

Unless it's the best location in my opinion (which again is rather rare) I stay off the MCC.

Can we have an update please?

Looking for information.

Speaking for myself.

What has happened to sniping is about the furthest thing from a buff you can imagine.

After the most recent changes to sniping, my average kills to match have been at least CUT IN HALF. It's easy to see why though. Two of the things needed to snipe well were also nearly cut in half. What were they?

As a user of the Charge Sniper Rifle the reduced clip size is intolerable (from 5 to 3). Not to mention reduced range. (from 600 to 350m) You're constantly reloading. Kills with a Charge Sniper Rifle are much harder to obtain. Even exclusively going for headshots in which case the reduced clip size hinders you extremely. In so much that you're better off using a standard sniper rifle variant. (+50m range, +2 bullets, NO CHARGE TIME, all with only a reduction from 350% to 300% on a headshot.)

The Charge Sniper Rifle is outclassed in it's role by the Standard variant. Which doesn't have enough base damage to be rewarding for skilled players. The sniper rifle that rewarded a skilled player for being able to consistently hit a target but with delayed shots was removed from the game. And replaced with a headshot only weapon where you spend most of the match reloading.

Do you even playtest bro?

Do you think if they changed the Charge magazines to a 5 or 6 round mag but kept everything the same it would help? At least then if a headshot is missed and it is a body shot or miss, there are more opportunities to take out the target/targets. That is my one major point of contention with the Charge. If it had a larger magazine I believe I could tolerate the plethora of other changes. It still would not be where I want it to be, but that should at least make it usable. BTW, your Symbforks Sniper rifle is AMAZING! Too bad I can't seem to ever salvage them.
