this is suppose to be a FPS, why is it being diluted with vehicle spam

-make specific modes where vehicles are not allowed and allowed so we can truely try to believe this game is a FPS
-hit detection is crap
-aim assist, give us the option to turn it off
-make it so there's always at least 2 different default areas to spawn from to eliminate spawn camping
-sniping is a joke, the best sniping guns and lvl 5 skills have a T3 clip, T3 reload, T2 fire rate, T1 damage and a range of a sub machine gun(the range and clip size are the biggest issue). i'm not saying buff it, i'm honestly saying to get rid of the entire class and i say that for many reasons. there's not ONE mode where a sniper can truely benefit for being a 'sniper'. now i would go on on this subject, but since the sniping class is broke in all the worst ways, (which ultimately is a good thing) i'll just there about it
-fix crosshairs glitch
-fix gaps in the map where you're pinned in places you can't get out of
-fix bad comms (i've heard some pretty narly derogatory comments flung at me many games on the enemy side lol)
-add groups, clans, alliances, corps
-let us have a skill book that lets us swap gear faster, call it "swap speed" i'm tired of waiting a decade to switch to other items in the heat of battle. this also becomes tedious if you have a lvl 5 protosuit because you get more things
-let us have the option to have "clutter" on our screen if we wish, as in toggle the chervon signs on of people, mainly your own allies to be permanent; lasting through the whole game
-make a punishing respec
-make a time limit/cap for air vehicles so it isn't abused
-add friendly fire.. but everyone will hate it
-fix the multiple friendly dropships squishing allies through the map (i've died too many times to this)
-add a 100 vs 100 mode
-add prone and paratrooper spawns *kidding.....*
oh edit: also add some targets in the war barge, or let us dance or something fun or goofy

gosh, i think i've just regurgitated what MAG is

also in eve, you could change out projectile ammo that were more effective to other types of ships, why not let assault rifles have ammo that deal a little more damage to vehicles and can be changed out when reloading. or maybe ammo that gives better range etc. dat emp s

no sniper fan boys allowed, you know it's bad, you know... it's a joke. come out of the tent and admit the truth

You done ?

=> Beta.

=> No vehicle map ? That's not how dust works. There wont be such things as "maps". It's planets for wich corporation are fighting for. So what ? Do you think those corp will say "hey, let's not use vehicle on this one"
=> Clan support, group etc.... BETA. And probably added in next build
=> Hit detection. Weird that i feel like i dont have any trouble with that.... Also, you werent there in the previous build obviously. oh and BETA.
=> Sniping ? It's for kiddies.
=> Crosshair glitch ?
=> Gaps in maps ? BETA and most games that are released have those.
=> Bad comms ? Never had any problem. And hearing ennemies = proxy chat (wich i find usefull)
=> punishing respec ? What is that ?
=> Friendly fire ? Agreed it shall be on. BETA
=> vehicle cap limit : already in place. Time limit : i would agree
=> 100 vs 100 mode ? Already announced 24 vs 24 will be the biggest at first. (128 player map have been tested internally)
=> Swap speed. Again, you werent there in the previous build LOL.
=> Spawn areas ? fixed in next build. (yeah reading the forumls before whining is actualy usefull)

And so on....

To be honest, I think you're an idiot, most of these things are planned for release. And I'm not even a sniper, but I see it as a valid tactical option.

You might have been onto something with the AV ammo, but frontline AR classes can't be good against everything, you want to kill vehicles, grab a launcher. Otherwise stop crying that somebody has something that works against you.

a true FPS is not reliant on vehicles, just saying. and it gets a little funky when the game gets competitive and who ever eventually controls the sky with dropships wins the game

*******((((((((((([[[[[[ this is a beta]]]]]]))))))))))**********

now that^ is out of the way:
sniping in this game is crap. if you critically look at what a sniper can do in these three game modes you'll realize that they're extremely useless against goodish* players. CCP designed the sniper class to not take objectives, not be in the battle with the team and to camp. to excel at owning noobs in their redline when all your team has done all the hard work (pushing and taking objectives)

the range in this game for snipers is broken beyond belief, the chevron signs don't tell you exactly where the enemy is if they are at a certain distance, infact it lies to you quite often if they aren't still for 5 minutes.

3-5 clip size. really? ok yes maybe, if they enemy team is full of milita suits in my hopes to OHKO them. but realistically you would never try to "T1" with these crappy things

the benefits of a sniper is high damage and range, you pretty much get neither in this beta

For one, this is not a true fps for it already has RPG elements in it. And its more of a war game based around an FPS system. Also battlefield is not an FPS? thats new.

I have to agree on dropships though, they are completely OP as of now. The worst is when they crash into you to kill you. I can see how that is a perfectly legal strategy. But if they just fly into the ground at full speed(to bump kill you), the least you can do is ,you know, actualy make it crash instead of just measely bumping the floor.

And OP. You might have one or 2 legit points in there, but I highly recommend you look at my post called 'Beta testers mentality' because half of your ideas are just plain horrible.

I love the way people are telling nighttimes (perhaps the most famous sniper from MAG) that sniping is effective. If night times says no sniping, don't snipe. He knows best except for a couple of Russians (maybe a Canadian too).

By the way, 5 rounds in a sniper rifle is pretty average. Although my fps game list is limited, the ones I have played, it seems to be on par.

I play the sniper role, have proto rifle and proficiency at 2 and it seems to work just fine. OHK many. Well fitted assault may take 2-3 shots. Well fitted heavies 4-5. Range is a bit short, but I think part of that is the draw distance which I think is addressed in next build. Even when I can't see the char, I can still kill them. Shot many snipers on top of towers at A and B while I was on top of the warehouses.

Definitely an eve player....

Just aim on the head and you OHK most of the time, having best dmg mods with proto rifle helps as well.
Snipers aren't supposed to run with team your job is to harvest traglers and others who are taking your cloning facilities and supply depots.

Also you don't need to see a chevron to kill it's enough that you know that someone is there where you aim, I know because I've killed more then one that way.
