Sniper rifles don't really feel like, well...sniper rifles

The most you'd get from picking up a sniper and sticking to it is just a bunch of damage with no kills, putting your teammates at risk, as they aren't running one, they might get close and personal w...

if you cant land shots on a normal moving player, sniping isnt for you.   if you cant land head shots, dont expect a kill in 1 or 2 shots. 

there are some fun sniping mobile games you guys might enjoy.

so your pretty much agreeing to what this guy is saying? snipers on this game suck a G7 outclasses every single one.

    @lxrgmonster Well, a longbow can beat out the G7 if you can land your shots. It does 55 a shot, abt 100 if you get headshot. It has a little less firing speed, but it isn't that much less, and it has very little recoil.

    Other snipers can beat the G7, if you play right. If the G7 is just being spammed at you, you have to do the peek and shoot method with a high damage per shot sniper, like the charge rifle or sentinel.

      you still didn't deny that the g7 outclasses every single sniper in the game. I like how you said land your shots. Which is easier to land shots with A G7 with a 1x scope or a longbow with eight times. We both know the answer here. Now I want you to read what you typed here and notice how you brought up mechanics that a sniper should use. I've never played a game where sniping was supposed to be easy. Now it would honor me to show you how a g7 would pick apart every sniper in the game in the training area. I'll show you "how much skill you would have to use" and prove how the g7 is broken.

      Sir_Named just admit its broken I really can't see why you would even pick up any other sniper except the kraber(that's only because it's gold ) and maybe the triple take. I know you've played rank and let's be real this gun has been a problem for the last two seasons. Defend this gun all you want but be real with yourself and admit its a cheese weapon.  34 on a body shot no matter the range and somewhat unpredictable headshot damage. Easy tracking due to them allowing them to use AR scopes. I've had a lot of matches where some sweat squad has a Pathfinder and predicts where the circle is going to end and then their whole squad has G7's and then on top of that they have those evo shields. You have to pray for a third party because of thats hard to beat.  You already have to worry about being outgunned by the havocs because you know they put those everywhere and give them about 5000 rounds a match. Its easy finding energy ammo, and light ammo. I've did a personal survey on my last 100 deaths and I've been killed by the Havoc 43 times and the g7 34 times.  EA please do something with those guns.

        @lxrgmonster True, it's easier to land shots from the G7 than a lower firerate gun, but that doesn't mean it outclasses it. (Also, the bullet width has been reversed). As an example, the Spitfire is easier to land shots due to the large mag, but it doesn't outclass weapons such as the r-99 or flatline, both of which have a higher dps than Spitfire. Or, as another example, the G7 and the Kraber. The G7 is easier to spam at enemies, but if you actually hit your shots with the Kraber, you can do tremendous damage.
        The G7 is more friendly to a less experienced player, but if you can actually hit your shots, then a gun like the longbow will do better. It's harder, but you are rewarded with more damage.

        Snipers can also use mid-range optics. Snipers can even use 1x optics. There is no advantage here that the G7 has.

        Well, yeah, if a team gets a positioning advantage over you, it'll be hard to beat them. That's just tactics 101. If they all had hemloks, then it would still be difficult.

        Havoc is getting a nerf, but it hopefully won't sink to being unusable.
