As it stands I'm perfectly fine with sniper rifles existing in the game. What I'm not "fine" with is being shot in the foot or leg scoped, or just a plain normal shot and the rifle going through my shield and one shotting me. That seems like a significant problem that really should be address. I honestly feel like this game is going to become the SWTOR for next gen. Major hype that will not be lived up and irrelevant after the first 30-60 days due to the major imbalances that currently exist and the lack of basic functionality (how about being able to talk to your team without needing to have them invited to a firesquad?)
