Yep. Your magical ninjas will sure love to be spending their time running a kilometer across desert just to knife a lone camper in the hills in the back. They will definitely be the ultimate counter to snipers.

You clearly don't understand the motivation behind many EVE players. A great number of people would love to spend effort moving up behind a sniper completely undetected and kill that player before they have any idea let alone have any potential to respond.

Oh EVE players. I forgot. This game is designed for EVE players.

This game is trash. Goodbye forever.

To circumvent this obviously game breaking problem CCP should introduce armoured dragons.

Bet he's off to make a sniper character :)

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.

While I don't agree that the sniping game ruins it for everyone, currently there are too many wannabe snipers in the hills.

It's always a bit of fun shooting from the mountains and pissing off those trying to cap objectives, but if you notice that your team has more than two guys shooting away from up there then perhaps look at going with a different fit out. 6 snipers on the one team is not needed and is really going to lose the game for your team.

The only scenario I can see that would require more than 2 snipers is spawn camping, and then if the enemy team aren't smart enough to be spawning vehicles at that point that would make the snipers redundant, then too bad for them.

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.

Ok, I see. So what your saying is that CCP should give a pistol the same range and damage as a sniper rifle so you feel empowered due to your own inability to find cover or something to stay out of a snipers bullet path. Hey might as well make the bullet be a smart one so it can curve around walls and go through objects too. Just fire in a random direction and you get a kill right? Or be able to use your knova knife to stick him from across the map too. Oh, oh. Or mabey be more like the matrix and be like neo and stop the bullet or mabey see the bullet effect where the bullet came from so you don't have to pay attention to your surroundings.
And I highly disagree with "there is no cover or something to hide behind" BS. If you use your eyes and head, you will see that there is something to hide behind or get out of plane sight as to where your not easy pickings for us snipers.

What exactly is the "New Eden" mentality?

if i get killed by a sniper i simply get my LAV and roll them over. Most of them cant shot a moving enemy. Most of them are staying scoped in and dont pay attention whats happening. Try to sneak up from behind and place a remote explosive under their butt.

Don't run in the open field.

Maps are to big and gameplay promotes camping. I remember a few builds ago I was actually getting sniped at meduim range. Now almost every sniper sits in the red zone or off in the mountains.
