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.

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.

Your complaint indicates that there are not enough people killing snipers, because you haven't provided an argument that indicates WHY their weapons are overpowered.

So...nerf sniper players, not their weapons?

I just went 20-3 with an AR. Nerf 'em.

Before that I went 17-2 with a shotty. Nerf 'em.

Before that I went 19-4 with a forge gun. Nerf 'em.

Let's just nerf everything because (I count, what, 6 people on this thread who are against?) because 6 people don't like them. Maybe it's 7. Yeah, that seems right. Let's do what 7 people (out of 1000?) want to do. Brilliant.

Its hilarious, because we have all these nerf threads, but they're usually the same 7 or 8 people within the respective thread complaining. Get over yourselves. Yes, there are areas of the game that require less skill than others. Deal with it. Stop whining. I kill snipers all the time with an AR. I kill snipers with a sniper rifle. It's not that hard. How many people are actually getting killed by a sniper while they're playing an assault? If you are, you're doing it wrong.

So that has nothing to do with the fact that ppl have weak shields armor? Or are you saying sniper rifles do more damage then the stats? You should have more armor/shields than the 220 damage my rifle does. I aim for the head, because thats what snipers do

Sleepy zan is skilled and wants to make sniping impossible for average players, I get it. So who is skilled at shotty, come on make the op thread. I know plenty of people who are average snipers, you ppl and you leet crap. Why are snipers op? Because they deal more damage than AR? The argument that you can hipshot ppl chasing you is dumb. That has more to do with your skill and nothing to do with a sniper rifle.

I am done with this thread, but I will leave it with two words that I think defines your points.

INVALID FIT

Okay I will come back in to agree with you, CCP should nerf/adjust sniper rifles because of hit detection. It makes perfect sense now.

I agree with the sway being a little light between shots, sniper proficiency II makes the sway minor. It should not be minor until V. As far as tactics against snipers, well there are counter snipers. Also almost every time I get confronted by an AR my paper armor shreds, how about two AR = dead sniper. I like sniper class and will use it even though heads up I am few most times. The reason its worth it is I get range and power instead. I took this thread as a thread asking for snipers to get nothing to balance the deficits they have. Assault rifles rip through me like I am nothing. I would not want to be a sniper if CCP turned my gun into a low rof long range AR, and I dont think many others would either. I dont really see a need for a nerf. If the kills in this game were sorted, tanks and AR would be at the top, not snipers. Really guys its not even that bad. I did just go 12-0, but you know why? Not an op gun. It was because nobody bothered to look up. If they would have done anything at all to counter, it would have been different.

Yes, but with the sway it's very difficult to do. You really can't quick scope in this game.

One more point before I go to bed. To people complaining about a lot of snipers on the diagonal rock map:

That map is VERY sniper friendly. Those rocks jutting out that people love to climb. Of course you'll see a lot of snipers there. But if you play one of the maps where everything is contained or inside a building for the most part, you see hardly any snipers. And the ones who are sniping end up with 2 kills and 3 deaths.

Don't blame a class or weapon for things that the map dictates.

I used to hate the map that is just that one building. But there is a veeery good sniping spot in that map, not to brag because I am not leet, but I usually end up 10+/0 on that map.



Also I didnt know that guy was a sniper, I based my assumption on the fact of seeing so many tanks go 25+/0 in matches I had been in.

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