Rifleman Archive

You guys have probably already thought of it, but I have to say when i read the pending combat changes my heart went out to you the more I thought about the speed caps.

Anyway, as I sit and think about PvP besides the other woes I know you guys feel, I think your role woudl be greatly enhanced if one of your issues (if it's not already) would be the ability for you guys to have a % chance not to appear on enemy radar if you're taking cover.

More like a spot hidden I guess from the old D&D days and you guys are great and spotting other hidden riflemen. I think the issues about being owned by pistoleers/BH with their greater firing rate is easier if as a sniper it takes them awhile to find you, giving you a couple rounds before they charge in.

This would make PvP a much richer experience, not to mention you'd pretty much become my bane as a Master Combat Medic in PvP (which i'm fine with).

Concurrent with this I'd say all classes get some change to find with scouting skills but hte bonuses are modest. Riflemen and rangers are the best at finding sniper locations. Squad leaders have some bonus, and importantly are the only ones with ability to expose you to the group as a whole. If one rifleman finds you, you're not immediately exposed to the group's pistoleers/BHs.

In terms of balance, I think pistoleers/BHs get no bonus whatsoever to find you beyond that they might get in taking scouting.

This is very similar to the ranger camo kits, and I think needs to be considered since currently anyone can use them. This needs to be an ability of only a couple classes, primarily yours. It should not be able to be purchased from a ranger. However i'd say a ranger, using one of their kits should have a similar skilled ability.
