And we're at it ... again.
If you all keep crying like this we will all end up in militia assault gear in 5 meter wide corridors fighting againt peeps lined up on the other side (just to make sure you all can hit someone)... As in "blindly shoot forward guys, you simply can't miss'em"
This topic has been raised over and over and over again... just freaking anticipate snipers by taking cover or get a countersniper.
There is nothing more easy then to take out some lone hound trying to take cover in the mountains. Yes I agree the red-line thingy should be removed asap, the rest is all up to you and your team. Don't have any sort of countersniper-action going on in your team then indeed prepare to die, or just switch gear yourself and go after them...
- a sniper-rifle carrying dude who refuses to sit behind the red line, but who will kill you if not behind some sort of cover... - |

Aaaand we're still at it... might as well jump back in.

But back on topic... we went from nerfing, to making it more difficult. One claims more realism the other claims the scy-fy way.... In the end alot of opinions and trolling all accumulating to one point :
"What should really be done, what is doable and what should mosdef. NOT be done.
What should be done : remove redlining, on this at least we ALL agree.
What is doable : bulletdrop, limit total number of snipers/game etc.
What should mosdef NOT be done : tracers.
Why no tracers; dude thats like lighting fireworks after every kill you make. It is the most dumbest thing I have ever heard for a sniper class. Its like putting a reddot lasersight on a dropshipturret or putting a silencer on a tank...
The whole point of a sniper is not how many he offs, but when/where and who he kills. I never made those 20/0 scores some of you are bragging about, then again i'm on the right side of the red line... there where the action is. And I'm going solo and not with 3 squadmembers to help me out when in need. Since nobody is going after the snipers, we can also safely assume nobody is going after the 'countersnipers' or sniperhunters either...
If snipers are getting ridiculously nerfed by adding a shitload of bulletmechanisms, more recoil, cooldown etc then it will become an impossible classe to enjoy playing.
Previously with he lag it was indeed pretty cool; being obliged to 'front' your shot as to counter the lag, yeah that was almost realistic... but it shouldn't go much further then that. We'll end up taking 1minute/shot then run for 5 minutes till the fireworks are over and the cooldown ends... and what did we win.. NOT the kill since you all made me shoot the sob at least 5 times. By the time I can align my 3th shot Either I'm dead, he is healed or someone from my team stole my kill; result me ending up earning jack shlt.
I for one don't give a *beep* about kdr, leaderboards, squads or even corps for the moment. I just wanna play a fun game.
And for me shooting you from afar is indeed fun. If teammember is in need then I have the goods. If a objective is in need of hacking, yeah got that covered and hacked, If I have the need to become temporary cannonfodder then my suits are ready. If I need to take out a L/Hav then my suit is ready. If you want me to take 1 minute/kil and then run for 5 minutes and NOT earning any decent WP's... yeah not happening since that will kill the game...

You sir should seriously get of your high horse and learn to agree to disagree without getting personal. I don't mind I can handle your opinion, it just kinda makes you look like a total douch, that's all.
If you have read ANY of my posts you would know I am exactly the opposite of what you think I am, but in the end that's your loss and not mine.
When the game launches I'll still be around, in snipergear, wether you like it or not. There are enough Corps out there that want me to join thus the simple fact YOU don't want me there really doesn't concern me in the slightest way. Up until that moment I'll simply adjust my game style and learn to compensate whatever new mechanics CCP throws at me and enjoy the game.
Now go in peace and rant on.
