Snipers are not that hard to find. Just ask the snipers. And countersnipers.

Indeed.


To the op :

Invest in long range sensors and increasing sensor precision if you think you should see more. Also, maybe your generalist fit isn't too good for counter sniping. Maybe a sniper on your side might help.

Most of all, htfu.

Apparently every FPS has to have snipers.

After my games of dust and continuous lose of my advanced gear from unseen snipers, I suggest that they implement something like BF3 has. In BF3 snipers have scope glint that gives away their position. I'm not sure how the scope works in the DUST universe, but I'm assuming it's not using lenses, so perhaps CCP should implement some sort of red light coming from the scope of the sniper? So that way, we can at least SEE the snipers. This would probably have to wait until they fix the textures, etc.

Well this post is a little dumb, sure its annoying being sniped when u have spent alot of money on top class gear, but isnt the point of a sniper to be concealed and strike from shadows when le as t likely to be spotted? After being in the recieving end as well as dealing end of sniping i have learnt to take it slower rather than run into the opeb and keep my eyes peeled, there are plenty of places in cliffs and on alot of buildings and pile ons that players can get to by climbing or drop ship, always be aware of your position and surrounding cover, take a short moment to glimpse cliffs and tall buildings, if you wep has a scope utilize it to see further distances.
Adding a glint or red line of sight will spoil the game for many especially a red line the aspects of this would destroy the whole point of a sniper, the basic advice is man up and take it like a man, if your dying alot with expensive gear maybe your not ready to use it, im no master of the game and still use mid range gear as its not expensive and does the job y waste money when u could die numerous times by sniper fire on some levels.
Follow the above tips and see how that helps if your the type that has to run blazing into battle then try follow a small crowd of troops to ensure u are not a single target

Scout suits dont show up on scanners...its kinda what they do. I'd stop worrying about snipers and start worrying about a scout shotty shooting you in the arse.

Would you then have CCP refund all skill points that have been put into profile dampening? Sorta defeats the purpose to have a skill to make my self less visible only to have a bright red light show you where my head is. My suggestion is (if snipers kill you that often) grab a sniper rifle and learn the best spots to camp so that you can avoid them or at least be aware of where bullets might come from. I really dont think that my class should be penalized for bringing in 40+ kills a match without moving. It is not our fault red dots constantly run to pile of dead bodies and then wonder why they died. If more players learned to avoid snipers then we would be forced to move to find more kills.

Snipers are fine. Red zone mechanics and the ability to terrain glitch making a sniper immune to counter sniping are what make me dislike snipers. Some snipers, dare I say many of the best, stay in the same spot all game because they know the little bump in the hill they are sniping from (technically through) protects them from being subject to counter sniping. Fix those two things and they should be able to sit in one spot all day, just as long as they are subject to counter sniping.
