Did the change something with sniper rifles recently? Or is the OP just late to the party?

Late. He's blaming EVE and not Dust players for screwing up sniping...especially when in EVE you can snipe from 100+km and remain effective.

once again, you've taken a wonderful thing and made it completely useless. Just take sniping out of the game. I've invested heavily in sniping skills, and gone all the way to being able to use prototype rifles, for the exact reason of being able to snipe from longer ranges, spent so many skill points in staying off my enemies sight range, and for what purpose? now I can get killed by pretty much anything else out there because I have to get in 'close'. What's the point of having sniper rifles in the game any more? I'd use a charge, but damn that sound is obnoxious.

Some of my killshots at ridiculous distances required my target to run into the projectile as much as my shooting in his direction. the bullet travels down range at more than 2500m/s yet it isn't effective past 350 meters... People will always play sniper, people will always play whatever the hell they want to play, because in your intimate wisdom, you've never said only this number of this class can join the map, and you're limited to this many of this class, but what would be the fun in that?

You can say I'm whining, you can flame me, but the whole point is, to allow the players to play how they want to play, and I want to redline snipe at insane distances, I want to hide where they don't look, and I want them to run into my bullets, right into their heads. I've spent the time, I've spent the points, so where do you get off telling me I can't play how I want to play, how I've developed my character to be able to play, and before you say one word against me, look up the definition of SNIPER.

Right now I am really relieved that I didn't pay for this game, so I can go uninstall it now, thank you so much for making the game unplayable.

I thought that nearly 200km was the upper limit of Tornado Sniping.

Also, I find it endlessly amusing that he flat out admits he wants to redline snipe.
