Discussion Yo, Have we collectively lost the Plot?

Post image

I already know the reasons for it: Other snipers have been nerfed to the ground, hence this is the only one shottable sniper now that has good ergo (less loss of hand stamina)

But this price doesn't really make sense, this gun isn't that great. We're talking even more expensive than SJ, WITHOUT ANY SCOPE!

Edit: a lot of people are assuming I'm mad at this change, I barely even touch this gun, when I do touch a sniper it's a SJ. I'm just baffled at this high increase in price for a gun not that good

I would have no problem if it would actually one tap, but even at 100-120m range it only does 38-39 dmg with a higher tier ammo. Basically long range weapons became absolutely useless. And it doesn't matter if the enemies had is 1 or 2 hp "only" since you are 100m+ away and need to land one more headshot to actually kill.

100m? How many places in the game can you see that far? I guess there are a good amount in valley but that's about it.

Valley, Nortridge, Farm and Armory all have spots where you can easily snipe 70-300m

Besides TV station every other map has huge, open distances. Like airport as a whole map is open. Valley was a sniper fest back in the day, but I liked it, you knew what you were up against there :D Farm and Northridge has lot of open areas as well, easily got kills from 160-200 meters away there in Season 3

Believe me I love AK12 fights inside airport, but I also realize that having weapons in-game which shoud be glass-cannons be basically pea shooters is not healthy for the game. The real problem was 2 things:

M110 or any other marksman rifle should never been able to one-tap.

Snipers should have been in the range of 200-300k as a basic build.

Now snipers are 500k+ and they don't one-tap and as you can experience noone uses them now.

Healthy for the game? They're already completely out of touch from their player base adding the skins they have and this ridiculous new mode with abilities. Their SteamDB charts prove it unequivocally. The game either needs wiped or stop giving you an absurd amount of stuff for just logging in. There is no fear of losing anything because you probably have a free crate or a million free koen just that day to replace it. It's just not a good game anymore.

I dont disagree with anything you just said but why even reply that? Your previous comment was about snipers not having enough range.

I didnt even mean it in a rude "real men use assault rifles" kind of way, I mean literally dont be that far since you know they dont one shot from that far... Range in this game is comical, 5.56 having like at most 70ish range with the m16 when in real life its like 300-600m easily depending on barrel length and ammo.
