DUST Search - [FEEDBACK] Please do something to balance the game regarding snipers

Having snipers the way they are now i just like the game killing you randomly at any time. Yiu can do nothing weong. You can play perfectly, yet suddenly you just drop dead. There is nothing you could have done to avoid it since they can be any distance away in any direction and can't see them. Running does not prevent it. Jumping does not prevent it. Taking cover does not prevent it unless you are in a six sided box because they could be in any direction.

Having snipers does not contribute any fun to the game excoet for the snipers. They are a frustrating irritant. You get sniped a couple of times by the same guy, you look at the player list. Guess what, they are in first place with 16 to 0 kills. It is especially irritatng in Skirmish.

There is nothing else in the game that does not have a counter to it, that does not have ways to be killed other than if you are a sniper. There needs to be defense against it, and ways to kill it. You can't kill it if you can't tell where it is. I do not know what the solution to the prolem is, but CCP needs to find one or remove snipers. One thing that would help is if all players had the symbol above their heads regardless of distance. Another would be having another slower weapon with the same range. The swarm launcher fireing in "dumb" mode might help. Please, just do something about the randomly dropping dead from something invisible.

It appears briefly when you'r loosing HP's. The position of the red flash on the rim indicates the directon of the hit. You can then decide if you want to go after the sniper or just to take coward (er... take cover )...

This leaves them wide open to attack from behind or another sniper that has been alerted to their position . Most snipers only have a base pistol . So once you know where they are get upclose and personnel . You will win . Obviously in your case , your team choose to ignore a sniper . My advice is if you get sniped out . Assertain their rough location then flank them . In every battlefield snipers cause mass confusion and wreak havoc . Sniping is working as intended .

Perhaps Dust University doesn't offer that course.

I totally agree with this, this is why the entire [Weapons] category should be removed from the game. There I was and a laser rifle went off and I was dead. Totally game killing experience. Then I was walking along and suddenly, nothing I could do got ran over by a car so the [Vehicles] category needs to be removed. And its totally game killing experience to be hit with an orbital strike. A grenade went off by me and I died instantly, please remove them to. Please remove the above and add a new category [Flowers]. We can then run around the map forever without fear of being killed and give Flower Power. I want Blue Flower power where the wind carries my petals across the screen and charging the fire button gives me more loft, but watch for Red Petals because they have more lift in the wind as opposed to Charge power.

sgtBelson S.e.V.e.N. 9	Posted - 2013.03.22 04:55:00 - [10] - Quote Galen - do you normally run scout/shotgun like you did tonight? If so, it explains your vulnerability to the snipage. I didn't bother seeking you out with my scope, but I mentioned your post to my corpmates on the ground, and they were more than happy to take you out with simple assault rifles. I guess they should be taken out of the game too, eh?

TheEnd762 Algintal Core Gallente Federation 15	Posted - 2013.03.22 06:37:00 - [11] - Quote As a sniper, it's frustratingly irritating to me that other players can move and run, and in ways that I can't always predict, making it very hard for me to hit them, and giving them the ability to sneak up on me from my sides or back while I'm shooting. CCP, please remove other players' ability to move. Also, it really bothers me that other players can select sniper fittings to counter me, or contact snipers on their own team to find and shoot at me. Please remove these options as well.
