I agree on both points, but to make the tactical require charging, it should have a tad bit more damage per shot.

I have seen some AR guys go 17-0. We need to adjust AR also?

I would say anywhere on the field of battle is in range of something. Rock paper scissors. So snipers have range, they also have there down sides. Turning them into a long range AR is not the answer. Why does everyone want rock rock rock.

I've been saying this forever. My dumb alt, Threetimes Infinity, is 112-2 with newbie skill levels and nothing but sniping. Even with low skills it's no big deal to get into the teens worth of kills with zero deaths. I've talked about what I think needs to be done with sniping in other threads, but to summarize, sniping is too easy, too safe, and maybe too powerful. The charge rifle should not be a standard level item, as it is the best sniper rifle in the game. Other than that, either bullet travel time or permanent sway needs to be added, and a bright, blue-white tracer like railguns in EVE have. That way, it's harder to get kills, and harder to stay safe and alive while sniping.

But, I've done all I can to demonstrate how ridiculous sniping is, and I can only imagine CCP has heard what myself and few other snipers have been saying. Whether they agree is a whole other issue.

when i was sniping, the one thing that was missing was bushes.

At least a fellow sniper agrees with me

The only missing element for canpers besides tents

A fellow sniper huh? Thats funny, so concerned about balance yet I looked for your tanks are OP thread...could not find it. Thats how you shoot anyone with any gun btw, point nd shoot. So yeah I think you guys are cry babies. Look at the k/d ratio leaders and tell me they are snipers.

oh so, you run and gun with sniper then?

Haha, this sums it up, you obviously hate snipers, so start a cry thread and try and get them nerfed kind of transparent. Next time dont tip your hand.

Lol this thread doesn't even imply a sniper ever killed me.

In that quote i simply made a joke

How is it crying when I'm not blatantly asking for a nerf and giving reasonable suggestions

Just had a decent game sniping and went 14 0 with only one level of sniper rifle skills leveled up.

Instead of blatantly screaming nerf at the top of my lungs I'll be rational.

First off, they don't need a special increase to headshot damage. I think all guns should have it or none at all .

A suggestion i have being a user of the charge sniper rifle is that they should all have a charge time (tactical rifle being the shortest) since it is a railgun and like the other railguns it should have a flash of electricity visible only while it's charged or charging.

Any thoughts?

Why not just have a headshot damage bonus applied to the suit itself so all weapons do that increased damage universally? Since this game doesn't support OHK headshots for the most part, this would seem to me to be a solution for everyone.

So we got tanks nerfed, now we screaming nerf snipers? Jesus just go ahead and say you want everyone to run around with a fuc king assault rifle and be done with it. Take all the skills out of the game, remove the market, and just give everyone the damn militia assault suit and be done.

A Headshot from a sniper should kill you instantly period. Shield Armor all the extras should go right out the window, because the sniper headshotted you. **** be glad it's just a damage bonus and not an instant kill. Be happy for the small things for the love of god.
