I have been killed by Tactical Sniper rifles and Officer Sniper rifles in the last few months, but I could count on one hand how many times I have been killed by either a standard or Charged Sniper Rifle in the last few months, and have fingers left over.
I would prefer to have bullet drop start after 100m on a sniper rifle rather than reduce range. Then long range sniping would take a lot of player skill.
It would be good if any squad member could place an attack order, just have it yellow instead of red if they are not the Squad Lead. This would allow Snipers to also be spotters.

So you are saying the Standard Sniper Rifle does not need a buff because the Officer Sniper Rifle works fine?
That is an interesting form of argument. Let me try that.
- The Ion Pistol does not need a buff because people get lots of kills with the Bolt Pistol.
- Shield suits do not need a buff because armor suits work fine.
Yes, this approach to debating is so freeing! It is not at all restricted by the bounds of logic. You could use it to argue just about anything. You sir are a genius!

This morning I was killed repeatedly by standard Sniper rifles at over 400m, but it was not just a Solo Sniper.
I know this because I was hit by two Sniper bullets in about 0.3 seconds. Full health min Sent to dead in 0.3 seconds. A single Sniper could not fire that fast.
So, the standard Sniper Rifle is effective if there are two Snipers on Coms and calling targets for each other.
So:
Pro Buff: It is so underpowered that you need two Snipers to make a kill.
Anti Buff: If you have two Snipers working together they can be devastating.
I don't really think it has a lot of barring on the Buff Sniper Rifles debate, but it is an effective tactic which I used to use when Sniping back in Open Beta, and this is the first time I have seen effective sniper teams in a long time. I thought the Snipers in here might be interested.
