I'm sure most players will like this feature, but as a dedicated sniper this makes me concerned. There are many matches that I have a dramatic impact on shaping and helping my team win, but I am likely to have well under 1000 wps. In a match I am likely to soften up enemy players, even causing them to flee to safety or scoring a kill. This allows my team to push harder and take the objective. from there I can prevent and slow enemies from pushing back to the area. At this point a hit squad is appointed to search for me, with anywhere from 1 dropship and up to 3 players looking for me. Those players do not realize this is what I want. I want them to waste time looking for one player instead of helping the ground fight.
Most players still disregard most snipers and dismiss there usefulness. To them If a sniper isn't making 1000 wps, which is at least 15 kills, they are seen as unproductive. With the current state of hitpoints for all suits, it can take 3 to 6 rounds with a proto weapon, max sniper rifle proficiency, and max amount of complex damage mods, just to kill one suit. With the current dance dance revolution we have the task of scoring a single kill takes serious work.
Under this new model I fear that the task of achieving the weekly cap, which already takes almost the full week as is for a sniper, will be unachievable.
When I look down my scope, all I see are dead people.

Really only 150? Even I can sneeze that amount, lol. Thanks for the info.
