+1 to the drop mechanic and the people who are suggesting no tracer. Seriously, there is already a tracer on it, just faint and looks like smoke, don't need to make any more like a glow stick shot you.
I for one do not snipe, I tried to snipe a couple of times, but no avail, I can honestly say it's not for me. I do however support them, because some snipers I have ran into were good ones, who were smack dead in battle, and knew what they were doing.
and YES there are counters, it's not like they are invincible. they don't need to be nerfed at all. I can kill a sniper easily, granted yeah, they are annoying when you are walking and you just get shot out of the blue. But hey, that means they are doing what snipers commonly do, BEING HIDDEN from your view, so you can't complain for being what they do, elusive.
They are unbalanced in some cases, but they do not need to be nerfed really, just put the drop mechanic, atmospheric countermeasure, and the indicator of how many of that class is in the match. not relieving damage, (it takes three shots to kill me in my dropsuit, lowering damage, it's more like a FAL in Call Of Duty), we don't need that) definitely no tracer idea, there is already a smoke trail that you can see if you pay attention. and the one shot skill, I'm sure if your shot in the head by a RAIL GUN, that's automatic death. 
There are already counters, plenty of counters to a sniper. One is an HAV. I'm sure a tank can kill them, really easily. Dropships also kill them, and I even know some people who fit lasers on their LAV's for the soul purpose to kill snipers or shoot from a distance for support. Or use a Forge gun and blow them to sod. like i said, they are not invincible, a little annoying, but nothing to major in my opinion.
and a half-competent player should know the basic procedure and take cover and not stand still. It takes 2 or 3 shots to kill you, so I'm sure the first shot should tell you "Hey, your being sniped, run in zig zags or find a wall." or even do what so many suggested, counter snipe, or FIND HIM. if he is red line sniping, easy picking right? if he is not, then still look for him, or at least don't be in the open as much. there are already ways to counteract snipers easily, no need for a nerf bat just because a sniper is doing what he/she is supposed to do, or because you die a lot. I die from snipers a lot, granted I killed a lot to. It presents a challenge in this game.
plus It's team based, use your team to find him if you can. Your suppose to work with a team as a cohesive unit, not run solo, then yeah, your head is going to go right off.
