I dont see how thats not a problem. No way to counter it as far as I am aware. I cant wait to get my BPO suit and not care about deaths anymore

I am pretty sure it was 506m to be exact, it was a proto caldari assault with a proto sniper. I was actually about to kill a heavy with a sniper rifle and got killed by the sniper. I am human so maybe I read it wrong but snipers are the new FOTM, even heavies use it so I will most likely be able to get a picture soon. The suggestion to make it impossible to use weapons in the redline makes a lot of sense but then again the whole point of the redline still makes no sense to me, if the blue team is being stomped, they have nowhere to retreat into, defeats the whole purpose

I have played dominations where more than 10 players are either snipers or forge gunners. Maybe its because of the Apex suits and players feel they want to save ISK for it or feel its not worth dying since they wont get a payout from killing Apex suits

Jesus, some people... snipers...got a buff. Like really... Snipers complained they were UP and got a buff...that's all that happened. Sorry, was referring specifically to range Nerf. But seriously, I don't get the combat sniper argument, where people want snipers near the battle... Its just stupidly difficult trying to compete with Rail Rifles, Scramblers, and even Combat rifles. Sure, they can't hit you at your range, but everyone sees a sniper outside the redline and says "Mmmmm, tasty kill!" Sway after moving totally kills combat sniping, and you HAVE to crouch to have a good chance at hitting something. Its a stupid argument, the combat sniper one... Anyone and their mother can easily counter a combat sniper. Trust me, I know these facts.
I consider sniper rifles to be the opposite of shotguns, it makes sense but sniping from the redline is just ridiculous, there is no risk. Most times if they arent too far in, I die after killing them

I did maybe I just wasnt clear enough. Combat Sniping is not broken. Hence my comparison to shotguns, you cant expect the shotgun to kill someone 200m away because the range is not fair, weapons should have their niches but 400m into the redline is just plain ridiculous. If you stay at high places or in difficult to reach spots then thats just being smart. Scouts are meant to get to snipers. If a medium suit is heading towards a sniper, he would most likely be spotted and die before he reaches his target. . Even with a range of 250m, the sniper rifle still out ranges the rail rifle. There was a heavy using a sniper rifle and a magsec. He was combat sniping and doing a pretty good job, I almost got him but got sniped by a red line sniper

If they can shoot someone then they too can be shot. This "redline = no risk" bullshit is just that, bullshit. Redline snipers have always been just little more than annoying gnats but now they're even more annoying because the fcking range nerf means they know where to look for counter-snipers while also making it harder to counter-snipe them because the range nerf also means you can't get at the proper angle to snipe the ones that are behind the sh!tty hitboxes of buildings & terrain. I'm getting a little tired of this "no risk" argument everyone brings up when they're trying to get something nerfed. It was ridiculous beforehand but now it's just straight up bullshit with BPO's floating around again. With how often "no risk" gets flung around you'd think the forums would be up in arms pissing and moaning about "no risk" being institutionalized but nope, seems nobody really gives a damn about the risk.
I dont really understand what you are trying to say, I am not interested in a nerf. Never called for it. Sniping 400m from inside the redline is no risk

I dont care about the sniper rifle. I care about the redline. Sitting 400m inside the redline or anywhere inside the redline to snipe. I personally think there should be no weapon use inside the redline. I have nothing against the weapon. It is working as intended

I never said remove the redline, I have had a very long discussion with other players who were actually interested in discussing instead of pointing fingers or calling others dumb. I have played games in which more than 10 players are sniping from the redline. Its gotten that bad. I said no weapon use in the redline, it seems pretty plausible as the point of the redline is to regroup or prevent protostomping and give players a break. I still havent had anyone explain why we dont have a blue line since blueberries can get protostomped too. Its very sad that the best argument some people can make is either "you are dumb" or " you are asking for a nerf"

I would certainly be interested in the orange line stuff after I read it. I am not sure which sniper hit me but I was hit by a Thale more than a few times. I baited the sniper to find out the location but even the bullet trail update doesnt help much. This is the fact, there is no disadvantage or risk to redline sniping. I recall a map that is about 350m, in essence a redline sniper can cover the entire map and not get hit by a bullet. I dont think the redline should be such a crutch. If you are going to lose you will still lose even if you entire the redline, at best you can run there change to a frontline suit and head back. Staying in there doesnt affect the outcome of the match, unless you are 5 protosnipers haha. I actually enjoy being protostomped because its challenging. I play by best games when I am protostomped and get my most kills
