sit between 100 and 175m and spam shots with a tac sniper and laugh, constantly reposition and stop trying to sit at max weapon range and treat it like the mid/long range weapon it is.
packed on a cardari commando with a backup ARR its an abslutly beastly combo alowing you to project damage and assist allies without fear of retaliation ass you outrange your oponents, just fine firing lines and for the lvoe of god dont be afraid to move and get closer, you can land alot ofdamage as close in as 60m before the ARR becomes a better option.
i used to annoy the crap our of proto PC squads using this with only a single squad member ass backup (usually either advancing with me supporting him or him protecting me as i act like incompetant bait :P
its a specialist weapon, stop using it as an excuse to stay as far away from battle as possable and start using it to actually do something productive and you wont find it terrible to use anymore.

But I want to kill people instantly at 400m from my redline with no chance of retaliation.

snipers are stupid powerful if you use them right, they completlly negate rooftop camping and ddevistate forces running across those ever so common giant chunks of open ground. plus its fun to use yourself as bait

I just think that CCP could take a hint from Treyarch and Bungie on how to do sniping. Sniping is useless in CQC. |

The maps aren't built for it anymore- the range you're trying to snipe at is most likely within range of other weapons with higher DPS.
Not to mention the shoddy hit detection allowing about 2 out of 5 shots in a mag to actually deal damage.

Sniping isn't supposed to be good in CQC.

True true. Best sniping spots are inside the redline. |

i have a bad habbit of using myself as bait to pull people out of position, being scanned works to my advantage as my intent isnt to remain hidden but to make myself an anoying and high priority target and waste peoples time.
ive pulled entire squads away from objectives (PC players) just because theyve decided they NEED to get rid of me.
mind you this is a pub match stratagy but i think its a miracle just getting PC players to want something more than a win at all costs.

i also run around with it on a minmatar assault with an smg.... so totally fine if your using the weapon that matches your playstyle (tac is closer range meant for spamming shots DRM style... hell the tac is basically a DMR)
the other varient is for people who dont like playing FPS games but for some reason do so anyways

Definitely not anymore, after the range nerf.
Some redline spots need to be tweaked a bit to prevent sniping yet, though.

the BEST sniping spots are behind wherever the enamy is at any givin moment :P either that or directly behind your own defencive line.

I disagree the best sniping spots are where you can be most effective for your team, such as point defense or counter sniping
if you can manage to keep people off the point you give your team a significant advantage and if you counter snipe you are effectively denying the enemy team the advantage of distracting your team as many will try to immediately chase after the sniper if they die to one
the best way to be effective in ambush as a sniper is to relay information back to your team while keeping other snipers and taking out high priority targets such as logies and scouts, an assault sniper rifle is better in this occasion
for acquisition many of the points are in open areas so a good well placed sniper can keep enemies off of most of the points
also it is good to know how much damage you can dish out with your sniper rifle as body shots are easier to land on moving targets but if you cant manage to kill your target you just gave away your position so knowing what you can take out and what you cant is a must in most occasions, the vanilla sniper rifle can dish out a lot oh head damage but will more then likely fall short on tanked targets 700+ ehp
