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.

That's genius considering the larger helmets each suit has over the less armoured

What you call "joke" seems alot like true colors to me.

lol Head shots should kill you anyway, all that armor on your head still wont stop the kinetic energy from a rail gun from smacking into your head and attempting to pull off that helmet of yours from your shoulders taking the head with it. I think it would just separate your spine at the neck and your suit would hold your head on just enough for it to crumple over at the neck.

Yes snipers need a nerf and need to be more difficult to use. It looks like all my opinions are dotted around this thread so I will leave it at that.

Good game considering my sniper skills were only level 2 then

Thing about headshots, when sniping you shouldn't get more than one shot. So headshots reward skill. I would be more inclined to reduce body damage.

Good game man and trust me lvl 2 is all you need

THIS.
keep headshot dmg the same that rewards good aim
reduce body shot dmg is the answer

People who use an unbalanced method of play and then defend that method as being not unbalanced are very bothersome. As someone who is probably a better sniper than you are, I'm here to tell you that you are nothing without your magical weapon. Snipers risk essentially zippo for huge power. Sniping is very safe, can one-shot a lot of people, and is as easy as putting a dot over some guy and pulling the trigger. Defending sniping these days is little more than attempting to justify your success as being a matter of skill, rather than what it actually is -- as reliant on shoddy game design as tanks are/were.

ok, i may have read that wrong but your saying that you went x-0 but yet your complaining because its OP? I dont see anyone complaining that they are OP cuz they get a good k/d ratio. I switch back and forth between all dropsuits and usually manage to get at least five kills minimum.

Snipers aren't OP, if you think about it Military Snipers are trained to one shot. If CCP is going to mimic real physics for the dropships then the Snipers are where they should be. Realisticly.....As far as tanks go they seem to be fair now. they were pretty strong last build but its leveled out now. not too hard to kill but not too easy neither. a good tank with a bunch of SP put into it will still decimate. I was in a militia tank and still got 6 kills before someone killed it. So somone has already said it......

Snipers are annoying, at best. Hard to get too but easy to kill. Skilled snipers are a little more difficult but still lack the shields and armor. If your getting killed as a sniper, throw your sniper rifle on a Frontline Assault.

I'm complaining because the risk/sp required is a lot lower than the reward you get through sniping. So far while sniping, every match i get about 15+ kills to about 0-3 deaths using a very unskilled method

I just went 34/0 the match before a came back to these forums because all I had to do is quickscope everyone who came up the hill after me, they are OP.

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?

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.

Actually it's still the weapon because i shouldn't be getting that many kills with so little sp on mainly type 2 suits especially considering i don't purposefully aim for the head

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.
