Dear CCP,
Your Dust514 is really impressive, well done with that.
What concerns me is the classic "Sniper Assault" mode, in which a player uses a sniper rifle to fight in close quarters.
This is a well known strategy in almost every RTS and at the same time one of the lamest.
There is no sense whatsoever for a sniper to one shot in close range and an assault rifle to kill after a very long burst of ammo. In real life does not work like that and even though this is a game, there should be some kind of balance.
Today I one shotted a guy with a sniper from 100 meters away...ok.
Today also a guy one shotted me with a sniper in close range...no ok.
My suggestion would be to lower the damage of the snipers used in close to mid range to almost zero. I know it would not make sense in terms of realism but it would refrain the use of snipers in close range.
Hope this thing gets solved at least in this game because believe me...it is really lame. |

I see where you are coming from as that is something that has always bothered me ( although it has yet to happen to me in dust), but I'm not sure if I like your suggestion. On terms of realism, that would be even farther from true. I think it would have to be something with the aiming to make it work, not sure though |

Odd. Last time a sniper tried to shoot me up close I dropped a detonator at his feet and gave him some frequent flier miles.
It only works against heavies or people that run straight towards them, as best I can tell. And if you see a sniper duck? He's aiming. Hit that triangle, hit the x, or jink, 'cause he's about to ruin your day. |

With the way sway works right now it takes a reasonable amount of skill to do this. Also, if you're not using a scout suit you can tank one hit. I've had to two hit people plenty of times to take them out when they have assault suits and three for heavies. I don't think snipers should be changed at close range. Personally I find it more irritating to be minding my own business and then all of the sudden have my brains painted on the walls by a sniper in his base than get skillfully killed at short range with a hard to use weapon. |
