Rifleman Archive

now I posted this on the ranger forum too...but since this is primairelly a rifleman forum..Ide like your oppinions about this too..... dont you think that if a ranger or rifleman doesnt want to be seen..he will not be seen at all? If one were to track down players, and you cover and sneak up on them with camo kits...shouldnt they at least be invisible to another player....or (in case of faction wars) not display as a red icon, but yellow? This shouldnt alert the player...as true snipers never do..but he turns red the moment he takes his first shot...or the player targets him...... :small idea...but I think its a nice addition to rifleman class. After all.....Snipers irl usually get the first shot =)

if we were "snipers" we would be able to shoot people in the eye from a distance where no other class could even auto attack from....the whole camo kit / conceal thing has been brought up before but nothing came of it, probably because there is the potential for it to become way too over powered.

overpowering no, but with 50% of the skilltree referring to sniping I supect we should be snipers

everyone can shoot from = >64m, therefore there are no snipers.

yes we have a sniper title, and some skills refer to "sniping".

a range increase for riflemen would be nice, but not likely.

All of which has been brought up before a couple months ago with to no avail.

no reason to stop trying

kinda is.. at master weare powerful enough.. anything like 'longer range than all other weaps' and 'temp invisibility' will push us so far over the edge that everyone and their gran will be rifle users..

not particularly keen on that.. id prefere the 'uber l33t kids' to stay in commando and BH CH Pistoleer dabbling...

I still believe that with in pvp case if your in coverd state, sneaking up with a camo kit adjusted to the current planet, that your invisible to radar (not targeting system), but as soon as the first shot is made he shows up on radar, not for just the person that gets shot at, but every other person as well. To be able to track down an opponent, sneak up (as said in other threads, a rifleman in prone position aiming directly at you should not be "good now lets get him while he's on the floor", but rather "Im not staying here one second longer" attitude. This wont overpower the rifleman at all...but it will help a rifleman not to be insant bantha poodoo , if your not a master...and on a server wich dont have the resources to build the special weapons the rifleman is dreaded for at long range. Stealth in PvE, excellent, but its jack when it comes pvp.
