So I've been playing sniper for a wile now and it's really fun but a few things have been bugging me :
(1)you can't aim with it out of scope yes it is not impossible to kill someone with a sniper at close range I've done it before (and when I say close range I mean in your face trying to knife you or 2-5 meters away) but without a targeter it is not easy , at all , so just requesting a targeter on the sniper for close/mid range combat. ( yes I realize the sniper is a long range weapon doesn't mean we should be defenseless)
(2): there are certain places snipers can go where they can ABSOLUTELY not get shot you can be aiming at them marker lit shoot at them until your hands fall off and you wont hit crap mostly happens in the 'cliff ' level the one with the black racks sprouting all over the place.
OK so guess I'm done also this is my first topic so YAY :D |

Your first topic sucks. Delete it.
Ha ha just kidding! Sniper rifles are fine though. They'd be way overpowered if you could use them easily in close quarters. It would make the shotgun useless.
Now the environment clipping issues ARE a pain. We'll see if that's sorted out later haha.
Also. Anyone have problems not bein able to shoot sniper rifles when lined up on an enemy? I sometimes couldnt fire at all when finally lined up. Then I'd die or something and pick the same build. Shoot the ground to make sure it wasn't my mouse and line up on the same target... Go to fire. And nothing! Then usually I'd get sniped again while I'm clicking like a mad man hoping the gun fires! And no... It's not because I was using the charged sniper rifle. |

1) Use a sidearm. You're not defenseless in that case unless you're in a logistics suit, although you should probably have grenades as well. Alternatively, don't let people get close. Either way, you can shoot across the map. If someone gets close to you, you should be at a disadvantage and expect to die. That's the trade-off for having the longest-range infantry weapon in the game.
2) Probably just bad hit detection. If someone is sniping in a scout suit, especially, you can put an entire magazine into them and they'll just sit there sniping away unless they hear the shots and move. |

I don't know if I'm going crazy, but on the subject of not being able to hit targets sometimes even when you seem to be lined up perfectly. That happens to me in almost every battle, I've managed to shoot players before, seen a shield flash but they don't lose any shield hp.
I've not noticed any regularity to it happening but it definitely does sometimes. |

Yes, it happens every game. It's faulty hit detection. It's a known issue, and CCP devs have mentioned that a fix for it will be in the upcoming build. For now there is no fix. |
