I have had a few matches recently where a highly skilled Sniper with a Tactical Sniper Rifle has severely restricted my movements and even managed to kill me a few times. Considering I run Sentinel, if a Sniper is managing to tie me down, they must be having a substantial effect on the lighter suits.
A really good Sniper can still have a substantial effect on the match on several maps.

last thing we need is even more bad snipers, and buffing them to be ez mode will result in that
Buffing the sniper rifle to be usable in a cityscape or outside of the redline isnt going to buff the guys staying in the redline going 13-0 with little risk (little risk, I assume, since they arent in a team thats playing against me, since I regularly sodomize redline snipers whenever they make the mistake of plinking at me).
Well we could modify the Red Lines to avoid total invulnerability to all by Counter Sniping.
How about have two Red Lines?
- Boarder zone will be just like the current Red Line with enemy being killed if they remain too long.
- Deep in the Red Line will provide the same protection from enemy incursion, but your weapons will not work. You can spawn, resupply, repair, but not shoot.
So in the intermediate zone between the inner and outer boundary of the Red Line there will be a Zone where team members can Snipe, but this area will also be accessible to quick enemy incursions, particularly by speed fit Scouts, but for other fits as well. (I have often run into the Red Line on my Sentinel to kill Snipers.)
In areas which are deep enough in the Red Line that the enemy can't get there and get out again before the timer runs out, no weapons will operate.
This would leave an engagement zone for Red Lined matches, but would not allow Snipers to operate in completely risk free areas.
