Sniper are becoming to harder to kill, because we can't find their location. Due to the increase of size of the map, snipers now have the most advantage than anyone else. Also even if the killboard tells how far they are it doesn't matter if we don't know which way it came from. The hit marker only last for a second when you get hit by a sniper. Also what happen to the sniper shot trail we don't even see that anymore. A sniper should take a few shot and change location, not get 64/0. |

snipers get just about all their WP from kills, and are also supposed to be hard to track down...

eh... haven't gotten enough dampening on mine yet, so they always seem to find me still.
Snipers need to build knowledge of the terrain, skills, gear....they have to work at mastering the job.
Just saying...they aren't that hard to find fresh out the box. |

It's the redline MCC snipers that people have problems with. Just make it so that the barrier in the MCC blocks all shots, do something similar with redline? |

If a sniper went 64/0.
That's a good sniper. Leave him the fk alone.
Snipers have the advantage of being able to kill at long-range and............. that's it!
They won't capture anything. They won't blow up your vehicles, and they probably won't win a match. (Although I'm sure homeboy that went 64/0 on you guys definitely contributed to victory by clown out.)
Take a dropship and go look for him if you dare. He can't snipe the driver out. |

I might be wrong, but sniper range (at least on a charge sniper rifle) seems way down.
This means that snipers actually have to close in and use the terrain if they want to see and hit anything beyond 300-400m. So redline snipers can't hit more than half the map (yeah, I know, there are people who are unhappy unless sniper rifle range is less than assault rifle range, but their tears are the tastiest!). |

Snipers should have their signature increased when moving or when firing, and drop off when static or not firing. That way, a sniper not moving or shooting should be damn near invisible... but shooting they should light up on your screen if your scan precision is good enough. |

The draw distance should be increased, even if we can't give them the orange arrow of death we should be able to see them and work out how to get them back, not just hide an pray. |

Get an active Scanner and/or learn how to suicide track.
Suicide tracking basically involves running out to wear you believe a sniper may be aiming and using the hit direction from his shot to figure out his position. Possibly the most satisfying tactic ever. |

hah.... hahaha!
you really cant find a sniper? then pick up a sniper rifle/ if you can use a militia sniper rifle, you can scope in, and search the mountainsiddes and building tops, and if you get tagged... duck! and use that to shorten your search.
only real issue is if someone is using a Thale, because those ******* can shoot FOREVER |

I was a sniper in our military and guess what? It is ten times harder in real life to spot a sniper! I use every trick in the book in this game and I still get killed so quit your belly aching! Know your terrain and run in cover and use a strafing technique. You have the skills to avoid being sniped. You either don't use them or, to be honest, you're not very good! I wish they would give my sight range back! I have a gun that shoots farther than I can see because I have done it at 525m just because I knew they were there. |

So you're mad because someone is good at sniping? That kind of KDR RARELY HAPPENS- ESPECIALLY WITH SNIPERS. You're the person who ruined mass drivers, lasers, shotguns, HMG'a, and tanks. Go home. |

I guess there should be a dropsuit that's good at finding stuff like snipers- give it better scan stats and call it a scout. There could also be modules that increase its scanning abilities even more.
Either that, or add a type of handheld scanner as equipment. |

Holy kittening kitten! He says it and miraculously the game has it yesterday! And the day bafore! And last week! And last month! So thats why nobody could find snipers before now! Scouts and active scanners were just figments of our imaginations until today. Well now no more excuses, if you can't find a sniper, then you fail. Not just at the game, but at life too! Kill yourself. At least then we wont have to see anymore "snipers are op" threads. |

and in the past i was able to see and hit targets almost 1km out, now i cant see past 450m and hiting anthing outside that is often a guessing game as the target indicators seem to not always line up with the body that far out.
everyones draw distance got nerfed now istead of me shoting you from 800m and you shooting me back at 500m its me shooting you at 400 and you hiting me back at 250. there is no real difference other then the snippers being able to effectivly cover a smaller portion of the map so be happy. |

It is much harder now to snipe than it used to be. Sure the maps are a little bigger but even if you red line, it is very hard to hit things as they are smaller. To make things worst, even with proto gear and 3 dam%, I still have to hit the same moving tiny target twice minimum for it to fall since people are rocking 700+ life. Not to mention my life total is 170. If it winds too hard I die. So yeah, try it for a while and see how ''easy'' it is. |

newbie: Don't tell me that snipers need nerfing, you need to stop sucking. I've been playing since beta opened to eve players, and snipers got nerfed up the ass already. Ambush is a tiny map, so if you can't find him, you're doing one of a few things wrong:
1: skill into and use a proto active scanner.
2: Look in different places. chances are, he's not in the middle of your team
3: pay attention to where you're getting shot from
4: don't sit still and then gripe about how easy it is for snipers to kill you. move and dance around or WE WILL **** YOU
5: don't ***** about things because YOU SUCK |
