There is already a skill that reduces the sway time. Sniper profenency. Perhaps in the future they will add mods to decrease sway as well. There is a benefit to the way dust is doing it. Once you have steadied the weapon it stays steady till you move, till you shoot, or zoom back out. Also you have to lead your target a lot less in this game, as the bullet travels much much faster, with little or no arc whatsoever. I kinda like it, but haven't used it since the e3 build. |

Hold aim for a bit, takes several second when standing to still. Crouch, takes a lot less time to steady.
Somewhat related. The draw distance on Aim'ed Sniper rifles could use a fix, even zoomed, any PC's past few hundred feet never render. Makes counter sniping the guys who get on the East tower troublesome, to get in range to even see them, they've seen you 1st. The grunts Cant see them, so they will never even get a courtesy marker. You get up there, your pretty much safe till you come down for ammo, or somebody in a ship wants you, and has a clue where you actually are on the damn thing. |

I don't understand guys, I found a guy in Dust and fired my pistol at the screen, but all that happened was my TV broke. Did I hit him? 
The sway is there to avoid quickscoping and balance. Snipers are an incredibly powerful weapon and they need to have some checks. I think the reason we have the weird sway (which goes away once you stop moving [catch your breath] and move the scope very slowly) is the same reason Swarms can't fire when locked and you can't inject yourself. Yeah it's weird, but is it not the lesser of two evils?
Also: if you're standing still and scope there HAS to be some Sway. You don't just magically lift the rifle to your face without it swaying. |

Sway reduces further with the Specialty skill you can buy after getting to Sniper 5.
It did help last build.
But yes, it's annoying as hell to back out of the scope to use your peripheral vision without moving, and have the scope move pointlessly. |

agreed, at the very least do a time limit on it, if your character doesnt move for 5 seconds or something no sway. |

crouching is for hiding, sway needs to be fixed but it should be reduced overall. your just mad cuz someone killed you with sniper am i right? |

Sniping is very easy in this game compared to Battlefield 3, in my opinion. I just ran out of ammo after getting 11 kills with my sniper before having to suicide to get more ammo. Just be smart and crouch, and you'll do fine. If you have sway and it bothers you, stop moving and crouch. If you're like me and can compensate for sway then you can snipe in more hectic environments. I think the snipers are fine right now (aside from 3 shots in the militia sniper) and while unrealistic, make a good balance between being too easy and too difficult. Especially with the state the hit detection is in, I think we need a little help with our sniping. |
