Why nerf the snipers?

[KillaManYaro]

1.
**Quickscoping . Famous in Counter Strike and hated by all. Easy to do and Overpowering. Why use anything else?
2.
**A la TeamFortress 2? Nice. Other shooters just make it almost night impossible to aim. Either the scopes move a lot or you have to breath a la COD.
3.
**Now theres a famous misconception. I bought the Buccaneer and boy easy to do 180 damage bodyshots! You scope does not move and you dont have to hold any breath to hold it steady. Very easy to use gun.

Cant wait for the update to hit PC.

When i made this post i was not talking about PC. I know how easy it is to get your reticle on someone with a mouse, I can see it being unbalanced on PC, but on console where you only have analog sticks it is completely different.

Yeah I just tried using the buccaneer and it really blows now. You don't even really have to quickscope and it still does the less damage unless you wait a second after scoping.

Yea tell me about it, It doesnt even have to be a split second quickscope. Now if you are just a fast sniper you are penalized, you literally have to wait a second after you scope in before you will do full damage, a lot of things can happen during that time that will probably lead to your death.

Why would you be up close to a foe for them to kill you before you could scope? Or better yet, while using a sniper at all up close.

..Oh, Right. Silly me.

Its not about adding realism, its about making the game BETTER. It needed to be done so I have no complaints.Even though its a 15 dollar game, its a fun and popular game which can make them more money.It would be wise for the game devs to Improve the game in all areas and come up with innovative dlc content.

I was not aware of this. Thank you Devs! I hate quickscopers. If you are not going to shoot at long range do not use a sniper, simple. People who complain about realism just can not stand being wrong. If the shotgun could shoot as far as the snipers could I bet they would complain about that... or use them and complain if it got fixed because it was more fun. A certain level of reality is needed in every game or else we would be running through walls and dying from our enemies angry glares of hatrid. Arrg. Killed by the stink eye again! Oh no, he is protected by the cold shoulder. . . that actually sounds fun.

Just a quick note which i though i should put in i have found that the bucaneer can in fact kill horse healthy mightys with body armor with one shot to the head contrary to many peoples posts as the bucaneer has the potential of 360 damage after calculating the headshot bonus by doubling the base damage by therefore if your head shots don't kill in one hit your doing it wrong
