You want 600M coverage to snipe at all of the objectives from the redline.
You want more shots so you don't have to leave your redline spot.
You want to engage multiple targets? Use a tactical sniper rifle.
You want to cover multiple objectives? You had better get mobile.
If i can manage to get double digit sniper kills outside of the redline, you can too. Grab a kal tac, Gallente scout and do something useful.
To address your signature, its good you don't do it anymore. Dust needs less redline campers.
While redline aside, it seems that your a one playstyle sniper user (take that lightly as your may just be another tear farm) that just so happens to follow the flock of that style (COD) and see everything else as red?
What about the MAG sniper that was patient and actually waits for important times to shoot or exact points or areas you want to deny the enemy even walking through?
The game name leaves my head but it was a PS2 game where the sniper class was that literal GLASS CANNON that you shoot you kill but had horrible defense, armor, or vision but in exchange had better "ears", radar, or trap capabilities?
THIS was all in one game I swear but forgot the name. I hope you're one of those meat shields running on the ground that gets shot and says "That damn sniper!" while he laughs at your corpse and shoots twice more for the blatant ignorance of other playstyles than yours.
I'd have to actually agree with Tesfa on this one Sclomp Snipers were a problem before this rediculousness you call a buff/fix now it's even more outrageous maybe due to the map layout or just plain laziness from mercs but I still see plenty of redline snipers still.. Especially in the video above.. If this guy is complaining that CSR isn't viable change your playstyle until they fix it. What is this COD style you talk of.. Hh is it the sniping of today where you don't need to spec into SR much or at all and pretty much kill anything with a HS?
I get what Sym is talking about but there does need to be a middle ground as CSR is the one of the strongest SR in-game but this community is getting worse by the day.. I used to be a dedicated sniper and I know the SR was broken before and after buff..
As Joel said a few meters could be added as well as the HS multiplier can be tiered but right now also dmg mods might also be a problem still but that's a whole other story.
And even then I've sniped a bit lately before I specced out of snipers but for me to be forced to get a HS or die isn't my cup of tea I want to have old school sniper battles but not this "let's see who can get HS first"
Like I told you and many others even though my rage and hatred for snipers(or any weapon for that matter) one have to be versatile keep on the move or change to a different variant of weapon if need be.
First hh?
Second yes I guess ( the hh thing) since haven't been playing but a basic should not in my opinion hs kill any suit above 800 armor. 2 shot for a full spec'd calmando with full trees for SR's with a basic SR. Though my thoughts conflict on a proto sniper taking any suit ehp wise, just rough estimate but, 850-900 armor based.
Three You ran with me most if not all of my clone growth so you and I know the pro cons of sniping and being sniped. (Still miss those 2-man sniper, shotty, nk games we had) Also as you stated and I stated on
many posts map design is not one of the pluses CCP has for long range users and mostly thrives on CQC maps with enclosed spaces where most weapons are made for and CQC Scout, point-defense Heavy, assault and equipment/heal logi.
Four May be a personal question but do YOU find d-mods viable anymore because I feel they just take up that extra ehp you have now rather than before where when you fit them on you were out to slay no questions asked.
Five i'm a precision sniper style that runs as a mobile tact sniper style only when countering for those who may bring this up. Which also puts me in your "...keep on the move or change to a different variant of weapon if need be" guidelines. Tell me if i'm wrong though.
I also like the tiered idea too though i'm already maxed and won't get out of snipers at any point in my dust career.
Extra lol'd at the community getting worse by the day thinking "Why doesn't some of the others know this yet?"
