Improvement: gun range and damage over distance

[adaroe]

Remember the days when vanu tr and nc would have sniping wars between the crown, ti alloys and that one hill. you know, during beta when you could do that.Not now because anything further than a bridges distance damage drops insanely fast.
today I stood at Ti alloys and fired with my m77b bolt action up at heavies attacking a sundie. I only got one kill, it was via headshot on an extremely weakened guy.. a little after that I started exchanging volleys with an nc sniper. we could not kill eachother, no matter how hard we tried.

I understand weapons should have their appropriate distances as to not make snipers overpowered, and to keep things from being like cod where an smg can take out a sniper from long distance and such, but isnt it dumb that I was getting head shots from a massive distance which takes some skill, and the shots were only taking off a small fraction of my targets health?

Agreed. Headshot with sniper should always - instant kill. Body shots can decrease with range.
