Here's my outlook on snipers in this game. This isn't BF or COD or any other game with shit close quarter combat. I don't want to see your stats because I could honestly give a shit about a crappy game like BF...Sorry but its true. This is Planetside with wide open spaces with 100's if not 1000's of players fighting it out over territory.
If your dumb enough to not use proper cover when your advancing and keep getting killed by a sniper then its your own dam fault. Pay the hell attention to what your doing. People are complaining about snipers because they keep trying to compare planetside to some crappy game with a small maps where the one or two lone snipers in their 32 man game runs up to some secluded corner and commences to destroying people because they have no choice but to run that route just to get to the sniper.
Snipers where never really a issue in planetside 1 nor do I think they will be issue come planetside 2. Your assuming out the countless hundreds of players fighting over a facility your gonna be the one guy out of lets assume 3 to 400 other players that is going to constantly take a bullet to the face. If your dieing that much in this game its time for you to probably rethink how your playing or maybe even consider another genre. I don't see a problem with 1 shot 1 kill head shot nor do I see a problem with PS2 keeping the sniping setup from PS1.
