Edit2: How old is this thread wtf. I'm confused. Are we able to kill other players in PvE? If I am mistaken in this post, please correct me, for I too am just trying to discuss. Edit: I read the basis of this issue and disagreed based off my understanding of it. As such, I have not read the proposed solutions yet. If I understood you, it seems like you were saying that in a PvE environment, snipers would have a large advantage. By the time you can get close, they will kill you with superior range and damage. If this happening is even possible, I disagree. If this is referring to them dominating parts of PvP, I also disagree, because the maps are small; dominating long range would obviously make one suffer close range; if one switched out their sniper they would have no ammo in their new special (shotgun) and be forced to get new ammo, making themselves vulnerable. In a PvE environment, we always have access to our Sparrow, so if the sniper is not skilled, closing the gap would be simple. If the terrain isn't flat, you will have cover when approaching them. If the ground is flat and the sniper is skilled, finding another path would be better. Or get out your own sniper and kill them yourself; the damage differences wouldn't make a massive difference. If they do, the issue comes down to character level, not the sniper rifle. If they are preventing you from continuing for some reason, then let them camp and go elsewhere.
