I have no objection to increasing Zoom. Give me feedback.

I'd like to see increased rendering distance even more than zoom. It's frustrating when targets disappear in thin air, or shots are blocked by invisible objects.

Sniper Rifles should one shot, one kill. Think about that for a minute. Consider what many in the thread are saying about it being obsolete. Overall, the first thing that comes to mind is movement. Not just the fact that people move around to get to an objective, or hide behind cover, or move around while firing at ground soldiers, but the jumping beans make it hard to get a headshot sometimes even though it is not hard, but it is basically fair enough to have them one shot one kill. You can counter-snipe pretty well if you know what you're doing. Sniping isn't grand on every zone as pointed out and it is not always easy given the layout and focus of objectives inside a surrounding structure. Then you have to physically move about sometimes instead of staying stationary.

Upon being shot, deal with it or do not. That is your choice, but if any weapon should be one shot, one kill it is the Sniper Rifle. By the way, you do not need a dropship to deal with a sniper. There are multiple ways to go about it. Snipe enough and you get to experience all the fun ways people come after you. There is truly no better feeling in the world than being the lone targeted pest hindering progress of the opposite team and getting their undivided lethal attention. It is a high compliment. A good sniper also does not ***** about this. A good sniper adapts.

Again, I think the sniper rifle more often encourages bad game play due it's range being such an outlier and it's mechanics that encourage static game play(crouch and don't move to eliminate scope sway). An increased zoom would just encourage bad behavior further I think.

The weapon would be better if it maintained it's current zoom and had it's range and damage application looked at. The extreme range of the weapon just leads to bad behavior that is unhelpful often for the team. It would be much better if the weapon fell inline with what many would consider a marksmen rifle. Reduced range but better damage application.

Same reason it's okay to snipe with a 20GJ railgun turret, take's time and accuracy, you see where the double standard's lie right?

You can forge gun snipe because it requires a heavy suit, but snipe in a medium or light suit, "HOLD THE PRESSES!" (We still have those?) it because a major problem that apparently need's to be addressed, cause sniping and stealth shouldn't go hand in hand together. Or that the weapon does too much damage (yet still compare it to an FG and you get the same results).
