Question about sniping.

You are far away..out of their range..and you are hidden....someone with an assault rifle has to be standing right there in plain view..within their range..so their IS LESS RISK with a sniper rifle. The devs have to take that into consideration and make sniping difficult enough that it wont be over used..but strong enough that it has a use within the game.

people have already brought up using assult rifles as sniping weapons simply because the bolt driver will be nerfed to hell if you players that dont want to be sniped get your way...


Dev's already have it set so you cant be one-shot killed if you're in the minimum combat body armor(medium/agile), and impossible if your in a MAX...

but people want it to be impossible to kill a medium/agile armored person too, which would reduce the effectiveness of snipers and remove their position in the game to ONLY sniping PILOTS entering/leaving a vehicle, until they all realize they could just get agile armor, hop in, and are protected from furthur shots

Once we get in game, we can decide how effective snipers will be.

i agree hamma, I'm just trying to stop people from getting sniping nerfed before they even saw how hard it will be for snipers already

If the dev team nerf's snipers just because of some threads (before beta even starts) that would be a bad call on their part hehehe

yeah i'm glad they havnt, they are all playing the internal beta so they can see how easy/difficult it is...

would be nice to get dev imput on if they think it's hard already
