They should increase the Max range of Sniper Rifles above 599m so optimal range is at where it is now.

Yeah, because the one thing i want more than anything else is to be MCC sniped from even farther away

Use cover.

Use a real weapon

Like this?

Give me sights with the sniper rifle,increased clip size and I will come at the same range as you.

Don't conflate the stupid MCC sniping with legitimate sniping...

Ok with the new patch we will have FINALLY the max range and falloff of every weapon.I like it but I think it will affect most snipers in a bad way. 1 sniper using kaalakiota sniper rifle with 3 complex damage mods,having lvl 5 sr proficiency will do 284hp per shot.
Assuming that he hits 1 target 3 times(which is the clip size) he will do to him 849hp damage without calculating the chance to get a headshot. Most proto suits need 2-3 shots to get a kill and for a heavy if you are lucky and get a headshot 3-6.
Most people run around with advance/proto suits with shield extenders with EHP about 500-900.

Now with the range thing.Max range of a sniper rifle is 599m which in this patch none can shoot that far because the enemy isn't rendered properly to shoot him even with Thale's.With the falloff range now if they don't change anything means that if I shoot someone at 599m I will do 0 damage to him.So optimal range for a sniper will be around 300-350m to do full damage.I think it is too close for a sniper to be because tar ar has about 70m max range and anyone can sprint to you and kill you.The role of the sniper will become useless and imho it is better to get a TAR AR and play.

TL'DR
They should increase the Max range of Sniper Rifles above 599m so optimal range is at where it is now.

Better weapon range, better rendering at long range, new Sniper rifles, more stability when you zoom in and zoom out, shakes way too much with operation lv. 5

I don't care about zoom stability when you zoom.I want back chromosome kbm inputs,better rendering and the ability to snipe from 599 range with optimal damage.Most people in chromosome where snipped from 700m away and they didn't biatch about it and they were playing the game.IF I do zero damage at 600m away with the rifle I would rather take the new commando dropsuit equip it with a TAR AR and Sniper rifle and I will try to quickscope ppl from 100m.If they get close I will change to GOD mode.

You do realize that some of the few maps that we have consist of 80% open space, correct?

I remember the old days when snipers use to perch themselves on that infamous Witch Mountain in Manus Peak during Chromosome and were able to snipe off anyone even those who are deep in their own redline. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the players here don't ever want to see that again.

Snipers these days sicken me.

DUST these days sickens me.

:/

really? I had no idea I figured all those threads/post you make day after day after day after day after day after day was just a joke

Nope, forum PvP is far more engaging than in game PvP

U mad bro?

As a sniper, I'm ok with not allowing sniping from the MCC. We should be on the ground taking our lumps just like everyone else.

Also, I think fixing some of the redline hiding behaviors by changing the redlines so people can get to snipers is a good idea. Who ever heard of a battle where you can't run wherever you want (except for things like cliffs or rivers)?

As far as damage falloff, I hope they allow full damage at least out to 400m with falloff after that point. Sniper rifles nowadays shoot farther than that with great effect.

But fixing long distance rendering is absolutely critical. It helps me scout for my team, helps me get closer to potential targets and know when to run away.

My two cents.

not as mad as you sis

Agree with MCC, needs to go.

Redline is fine, they are always able to be counter sniped.

damage fall off for a sniper needs to be from 650+ meters minimum

I can render people out at just below 600m, not an issue, if you know how.

let's see all you need to get 600m rendering is the following.

step 1 - reduce the graphics setting on your ps3 to Pong settings.

step 2- face north then spin 273.4 Degrees right

step 3 - shoot the nearest heavy once in the head, this must bring him to exactly 0 armor and 0 shield, as long as this heavy is alive this trick will continue to work.

step 4 - crouch and then stand up exactly 19 times.

step 5 - swear a blood oath to dark god of omen and sacrifice 2 pigs

step 6 - turn off the play station and then repeat the process and in the next match you play you will have a 600 meter render distance for exactly 50 seconds, make the best of it.

So you can snipe the entire map from the MCC instead of just most of it?
