Oh so you mean I should hide behind those hills! Way out over there!

Anyways the main issue here is that there is no way to counter a sniper unless you want to waste manpower by having your own snipers (face it, in the grand scheme of things having players hide in the hills in the back of the map picking off a random player every minute or so instead of getting in the action and helping capture objectives is and always will be detrimental to your ability to win). All weapons need a significant range increase and there should bullet indicators that tell you from which direction you're being shot at from even if you're not getting hit.

The fact that we're playing on barren deserts does not help either.

Tbh most snipers I've played with are just a minor nuisance at best.... Very few have the skill (that I've seen anyway) to require I post being made saying they will kill the game.... It's called be aware of your surroundings and adjust accordingly. If you sit still of course you are gonna catch a bullet. Stay on the move and stay aware of your surroundings. Most snipers I've encountered don't hit very well when you are on the move. So if you notice you are taking fire from somewhere let your team know and try to eliminate the threat, whether alone or with teammates. And honestly most of the time the snipers I've seen are just like annoying flies not really making much of a difference so no need to sweat them. Seriously if you are having that much of a problem may be time to rethink your choice of games or genre all together.

the counter to a sniper is a Infiltrator/Assassin. which does not exist yet because there is no cloaking.

wait till we get cloaking.

Snipers will die. Nova Knife in the back. painfully.

and no, weapons do not need a range increase. then we'd all be snipers.

Snipers are fine as they are, and this is coming from someone who doesn't snipe.

Would you rather keep that minor nuisance following you around like a fly that won't leave you alone...or would you rather have this nuisance removed completely?

I'd rather keep it.

If you remove snipers, then you may as well remove everything except Assault Suits and the AR and call it a day.

of all the things wrong with Dust 514, you being personally mad at snipers is not even on the list.

I know many people who share my same feelings on almost every issue I present on these forums. The thing is most of them gave up on this game a long time ago.
