I used to love dust.
I enter a match and it was tones of fun... Then I happened....
There were a few snipers on the other team. They camped in their base.
I could not move out into the open without being sniped.
If you peeked up you head you would die.
Snipers are very op, and need to be nerfed. |

Complaining will not do anything, nor will it help change the way you propose this arguement. What should be changed about Snipers? Is it the weapons? The skills the players have? Not the best team work on your side? What is it that needs to be changed thay you had to post this thread? |

There is an initial class for sniping. It provides a free sniper rifle so I would doubt if is going away to make your personal experience better.
Also this forum is riddled with OP posts regarding Snipers and many other items/class/suits/gear that need the great Nerf hammer because the OP just got their Kitten Spanked good and proper and now whatever did the spanking must meet the Nerf!

What do you mean by nerfed? Be specific. |

Spawn somewhere else, if your team doesn't have any other locations to spawn on, then its not the sniper that's OP, its your team's fault for not having acquired more spawn points.
Snipers themselves aren't hard to take out. Use the sniper starter fit to kill them, or get a free LAV starter fit to drive to them and massacre them at close range. |

Sorry I wasn't specific....
I think the sniper needs to have a slower fire rate. The skills are what make it so OP, and the skills need to be nerfed.
The problem with the sniper is there isno way to counter it.
The problem with the match I was in was my team could not move forward to capture more points. If you moved out in the open, you would die. It was a really open map, so it made it easy for the snipers. |

And if they'r too far for you or in some unaccessible point...use dropship! but hell yeah, snipers are pretty annoying...I mean for now (for me at least) they'r just like mosquitoes! but when we'll see the firsts Thales....yes, only counter snipers could possibly kill a sniper with that gun; yes, that gun should be nerfed |

I don't understand the reasoning behind saying sniper rifles are OP. Where does the assessment that fire rate is too high come from?
I have never experienced being sniped so much that I thought it was preventing other roles from being able to be successful. Whenever I get sniped more than twice in a row, I usually succeed by just driving a free LAV to a range I can shoot back, or just pulling out my sniper starter fit. There are definitely counters. |

If several players are in their spawn being useless, then the objectives will be easy to take, no? |

The problem with snipers is no ballistics, and shooting at a sniper and hitting them doesnt kick them out of the scope view. |

I agree with ballistics but **** no to getting kicked out of scope. |

Before suggesting an idea, I suggest playing whilst under the same conditions to find out if you develop a counter strategy. Because you are absolutely right - though they aren't quite overpowered, snipers are a uncounterable hazard in this game, and has been brought up many times. But I have to ask you, do you yourself believe that it's the rate of fire that's the problem? |

Snipers are far from OP, the most decent startingish rifle the charge rifle (IMO) has a slow charge, what normally happens though is 4 of us camp together to snipe which may make it seem like a high ROF.. but 3 sec reload is no where near high....
And if you cant run across a WIDE OPEN FIELD... maybe there is a derp in your strategy... such as running across a wide open field.. that is just down right stupid..... Spawn a cheap jeep and drive across... you will never see a Soldier in real life run across wide open fields in the middle of battle.. because of snipers... so why do you feel you should be able to do the same? It's just plain ignorant.. Snipers are not the problem in your complaint, your strategy is.. |

Me and my buddy did that earlier today, but we were very close to enemy territory. Not one redberry figured it out until the match was near over.. we share killed like 30 people who kept respawning until one of their squadmates mercifully busted out and captured a null and everyone could escape our wrath.
Just two good snipers outside enemy territory brought the mach to a halt. honestly, they coudl have coordinated and overtook us, but it was so apparent there was no communication going on, we felt comfy to stay put and rock. we had nanohives, so we were good to go.
the only defense is to try and divide and over run us.. easy enough to do.
FYI- I have a sniper skill of 1 FWIW. this game rewards FPS skill as much as any. I had lv 5 sniper before the reset, and i can't ait to one day g tthere again. It just makes follow up shots a gimme. As it is now, I have to fight sway, and am never quite sure when my rifle will decide to reload itself, but the gun mechanics are pretty sweet as well as always improving.
i kind of hate that a sniper would use a tracer bullet, tho. makes no sense. |

Or a simple countersnipe... It was riddiculous on one game that we dominated. Such a large area we were shooting which in turns means if you can see it, it (they) can see you. Only 1 guy on the whole team that we were laying waste to tried to counter snipe, and he did kill us a few times, but it takes one shot from him for us to see that GIANT WHITE LINE of where his bullet came from for us to shoot him back.. So he would pick one of us off ( snipers are 1 hit killed by other snipers cause of crap shields/armor in scount class ( No that's not a complaint, it is rightly so )) then we would respawn and regroup. |
