If you're not a sniper, just keep it moving, or flame it for me so it can go back to the top.
How can a game set this far in the future not have a simple VARIABLE ZOOM SCOPE. I mean, make it a skill that requires skill leveling up or something. We're being asked to attempt to shoot people from 100 yards to 1,000 yards with the same field of view? Come on. Some of these maps are huge, some are more close quarters. Assault rifles are accurate with a red dot from across the map. I would have taken a variable scope system over minimizing the recoil and sway or all the other things you did to snipers in the codex build.
If you're a sniper, please keep this thread bumped so maybe someone in CCP will see this and respond. |

Move and murder. simple fix even my sniper has suggested that he thinks body shot dmg is too high and should be lowered a bit reward skill and the skill in sniping is hitting headshots, most snipers im sure just land body hits so nerf the body dmg a bit. a variable zoom imo would be good. especially when they add in the weapon customization we should be able to add more low zoom scopes so snipers can stick with their squads more
I absolutely agree with this. Headshots should have a different damage value than arms. Chest should be different from head and arms/legs. Not just for snipers but all weapons.
For all the haters of snipers who think we are solo doing our own thing; you will not have a good tactical team without at least 2 good snipers. Not only do I consistently place at the top of the kill board every game, but I am also a spotter for my entire team, calling out all enemy movement and equipment. You have to have spotters who focus on that so that the others on your team know whats going on and where support is needed.
Sorry about the title, i wanted it to be a little mysterious so people would read it. Curiosity tends to get the best of people. |

I dont think you will ever be able to replace a GOOD sniper in this game. When you can completely lock down an area of the map and prevent an objective from being hacked from across the map, or make an enemy scared to cross a certain path. Nothing can replace that.
Also, i like sniping as a leader because i can also focus on tactics and not run & gun at the same time. I can just sit there and think for a second if i need to. I can sit back and look at the big picture of the map and what the enemy is doing from my perch and call out what needs to be done... not to mention take out anyone i catch in the open while doing all that.
I just wish i had a variable zoom to do it with. Its crazy to me how custom you can make your character and dropsuit, yet you have zero ways to customize your most important asset, your gun. Doent this bother anyone else? |

So you can't get one shot kills from as far as you could, so sad.
There is a huge overabundance of snipers in this game, the last thing they need right now is a buff.
And most of them suck and go negative in every game. They do it because they arent good at anything else. For some though, sniping is an art. Its our craft. You dont give Michelangelo crayons if you want a masterpiece. Now, he'll work with what he's got, and it will be good, but not his best. I'm consistently getting in the top 3 in kills every game, against tank pilots and what not. But, give me my paint brush and you'll really see the masterpiece i can create! |
