The only problem I have with snipers are the ones who sit behind the red line. Sure it's tactically viable at the moment because game mechanics allow it.
I think this could be fixed by having a "blue line", that matches to enemy's red line, and making the areas beyond both no fire zones. That way, if a sniper, or other extreme range combatant, wants to shoot someone, they have to put themselves at the same risk as the everyone else. |

Just my thoughts and opinions.
I don't mind crouching to get rock steady aim, but I do think snipers should have to retarget after every shot, not just come back to the same point as the moment before they fired. Maybe kick the return aim point up 10 to 12 degrees so they have to bring it back down manually.
Snipers should also be afraid to engage CQB and hope it's a last resort, not go seeking it out.
They also shouldn't be allowed to just sit behind the red line. They should be exposed to all the same risks as all other combat classes. |

Sniping may also change when they bring in the bigger maps.
If I remember correctly, these maps were playing now are small test maps. Once live, the small maps will be about three miles across. |

I have no problems with snipers the way they are now. I don't play a sniper and I don't want to be a sniper. The only problem I have with snipers is this one thing.
This one thing on occasion, forces me to pick up a weapon and combat style I suck at (counter-sniper) to alleviate the pressure on my anti-armor a$$. Sure I've gotten a few CS kills doing this, but it's just not a play style I like.
To the snipers that don't play behind the red line... Keep up the good work. |

Yeah, it is easier, it takes 2 shots to kill someone and the rifle doesn't sway after a shot.
Snipers can defend objectives like nobodys business. They don't even have to be close and they will kill anyone hacking a terminal...I think we just need smoke nades and that would fix it.
Smoke would be an excellent countermeasure. |
