Snipers are insulting to the game and completely wrong.

- No movement penalties whatsoever, full speed walking allows perfect aim - Snapshot aiming and aerial aiming do not belong on snipers - Bullet curving and aim assist need to be zero. Defeats the purpose of being a precision weapon when the game is hand holding. - Shoot them dozens of times, even with high caliber rounds, does not flinch enough and they are allowed to retaliate, again not penalizing snipers enough - Semiauto should never one shot to the head, that should be reserved for heavy ammo snipers and bolt action exclusively

  • [quote]- No movement penalties whatsoever, full speed walking allows perfect aim[/quote] 1. Most guns don't let you walk full speed while aiming 2. There's no movement penalty for aiming, this isn't Counter Strike. [quote]- Snapshot aiming and aerial aiming do not belong on snipers[/quote] Airborne aiming isn't a thing on snipers since the AE changes, they lose accuracy and AA enough to be unreliable even stacking to 100. And snap aiming is a thing in pretty much every FPS. [quote]- Bullet curving and aim assist need to be zero. Defeats the purpose of being a precision weapon when the game is hand holding.[/quote] Already pretty close to there, your margin of error is pretty small on these snipers in terms of hotboxes. [quote]- Shoot them dozens of times, even with high caliber rounds, does not flinch enough and they are allowed to retaliate, again not penalizing snipers enough[/quote] RNG and netcode. [quote]- Semiauto should never one shot to the head, that should be reserved for heavy ammo snipers and bolt action exclusively[/quote] Every semi automatic sniper in every major FPS can one shot kill.

  • They would be fine if the aim assist was dialed back and if the flinch in this game actually worked.

  • First off you already failed the gun fight for challenging a sniper from mid to far range with anything but a sniper/liner rifle. Plus, you’re basically describing HCs in this post but they’re 10x more of an issue than snipers.

    • Simple way is to make them de-scope on hit.
