LOL....."It's the guy over there in Quadrant A - 8 .... the guy in the SUIT, with the emo face"

More like this:

Dario: "Got a heavy at nine o'clock."
Me: ".... Wait, my nine o'clock or your nine o'clock?"
Dario: "Your nine."
Me: "How the hell do you know what direction I'm facing if you're watching him?"
Dario: "He's ea- damnit.. WEST of Alpha!"
Me: "I'm at freaggin Bravo!"
Dario: "In between Alpha and Bravo there is a Heavy who is going toward Bravo!"
Me: "I'm staring directly at Alpha and there's no-one here what the hell are you talking about?!"
Dario: "I dunno dude, he's gone now."
Me: "You don't say?"

-Heavy starts firing at me from another angle-

Me: "OH YOU MOTHER ****** YOU BETTER KILL ME.."

Two things I would like to see for snipers are: 1. Bullet drop, this would really separate the good snipers out. Just placing your red dot on someones head doesn't take much skill. 2. More intel gathering for them. They are 'Scout' suits after all.

Needs more camping, preferably in a heavy suit with roughly 1k ehp. Nothing says "frack you, go qq or quit standing still" like an uncounterable fit. Also bring back thr better perches, we need more silos from which to harvest sweet pubbie tears.

Nothing about the Sniper Rifle needs adjustment. In fact, adjusting it will either make it overpowered or useless. The last thing we need is another round of nerfs because snipers are doing exactly what they're supposed to at the moment.

- The fact that snipers can sit on the border of the redline... it is meant that way. They sit on the most outer limit of their playing field defined by CCP, deal with it.

I disagree, No sniper in the RL is running around on the ground trying to kill people with their squad. They sit up on their perch like they're supposed and deliver support fire from above. I think CCP got it right.

sniper in this game is easy mode, crouch for PERFECT aiming and stability. there is no movement from the scope at all, unless merc's are intergalactic champions at holding there breath, they need to change how easy it is to aim down scope for all weapons. i think they should remove the whole crouch = perfect stability. i find it VERY dumb they did not include "holding your breathe for more stability"

meh, i think sniper players are funny, roll a team off the battlefield and watch 90% of the team switch to snipers and sit around the red zone waiting for the match to end.

I agree with this 100%. Leave the snipers alone, they're just doing what snipers do.

Not whining about hip fire kills from a sniper?

Don't hate me for this but.

Sniper class has the lowest attrition rate of all the classes, it encourages sniping, because nobody wants to lose thier hard earned isk.

I seriously think all sniper rifles should have thier price increased by 30-50%

****. no.

Let me repeat that.

****. NO.

Real life snipers do not deal with constant sway, they train to keep steady. WE are cloned super soldiers.

This is not ******* COD. YOu have a multitude of options to deal with snipers, the most effective being counter sniping.

Learn to adapt instead of whining about everything under the sun because you got popped by it.

****** COD did it right by adding this.

Right because sniper are supposed to be able to sit back in an area that you cant get to because it is in their main base and snipe anyone with impunity because they can shoot through their eyeballs and instantly hit anything on the entire field. That is perfectly reasonable.

There's an app for that:

It's called counter-sniping.

Sniper rifles need permanent scope sway, even at Ops 5, even when crouched and not moving. Maybe a "steady aim" button that gives you a second of steadiness.

Sniper rifles might also need bullet drop, and possibly bullet travel time. Nobody cares about the "realism" of these features, what matters is that they exist to make sniping require more skill. People don't like snipers because they're people who put themselves in very little danger, can kill from 600 m or greater in two shots on most suits, and all they need to do is point and click. No compensating for sway, no leading their targets, no adjusting for distance. It's too easy, it encourages people to stay as far away from the fight as possible, and it's bad for the game compared to the alternative.

Give sniper rifles sway, bullet drop, and bullet travel time, and they'll be compelled to move closer to the action, because it'll be to hard to aim from really long distances to get more than a couple kills a game.

I disagree, people care about realism. If they didn't there wouldn't be anyone yelling something is OP.

You claim that to be a better sniper, the sniper needs to be more engaged in the combat by being closer to the action, I disagree.....

That just makes me want a rifle that will disable an LAV.
