Thread: 3 seconds fastest possible shot, would you still be a rifleman?
If they actually want us to use prone and cover, and reduce our attack speed, then it looks like they are trying to move us moretoward the traditional "sniper" role. That, I like. BUT if they are moving us toward the traditional sniper role, then I also want to be able to do the traditional sniper things - i.e. MASSIVE damage from LONG RANGE while hidden and almost impossible to hit.

From what I understand of snipers, they do not operate at close range, at a guess I'd say they would stay out of pistol range, unless the Devs do something drastic about range and the speed of pets I do not see the sniper role working.
It seems that they have no idea that the game is so unbalanced. That is what discourages me more than than anything.
They need to look at damage per unit time and fix it for all the classes that are broke.
They need to understand that a pistol does not have the SAME max range as a rifle.
A rifle is max range advantage at 60m but if you move to 64m its crap! Get real.
I have tried to be patient but I am starting to get po'ed at this.
I started my main character as a Ranger. I assumed I would pick Rifleman as my main weapon since it seemed to make sense.
I wanted a character who would be the best at hunting animals.
I was not interested in huntingother people.
I was not interested in becoming fastest draw, Billy the Kid and dueling other people.
I was not interested in becoming Dr. Doolittle and talking to the animals.
I was not interested in becoming Rambo the Commando and winning the GCW.
Yet, I find that if I had become a Pistoller Ranger or Beast Handler or GI Joe Commando or Joe Everybody Bounty Hunter, I would be able to hunt and kill creatures better than I can do as a almost Master Ranger/Rifleman.
I can make a pretty camp and shoot things from exactly 60m but when it charges and snare trap misses, I have to switch to my pistol or suffer the 2.5x damage.
But not to worry I see the Imp Bounty Hunter with his Eyeshot and 2 ATST wipe out the whole spawn in 60 seconds. lol
Maybe I better try another server and start a bounty hunter Imp if I want to hunt. lol
Oh and if you refer to my last two posts as Whining and Crying... Well go ahead.
I am getting sick of the crap.
I'll only stay rifleman if they up the damage of the T21 back to pre-patch and up laser rifle dmg. Other than that I'll take up Commando.
hmmmm could this be a DEVS clensing of this class ????
i agree on the 3 sec max BUT for gods sake let us HIT our targets and for more damage..
Funny how we (the rifleman) go prone at 40-60 and so does pistol and they out damage us by 75% cause of speed and better weapons ie. powerups,bugged pistol class...
FIx range on pistol VS rifle !
More damage & accuracy for rifle
Get rid of that silly 2.5 BS multi.
oh and if they fixed all what has been said about the class that needs a fixin
yes ill stay rifle...
IF NOT...
Well lets just say alot more ppl will be 1337 pistol users like the rest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
