Some ideas for snipers aka stop "the easy-mode-kills"

[RayBen 2]

Hey, i like snipers even the big guns which can kill you freaking 900m away, but what i dont like are those easy-mode-kills e.g. when snipers can shot 10 times on you and no freaking zombies are even close to him. Another thing is that they scoop ages over ages.

My suggestion is:

Add more Zeds to know sniper positions and add something like in FarCry that when you zoom, your scoop reflex the sun, so they cant stay on one place for a long time.

As I said im not against snipers and big guns, but im against this easy-mode-kills.

After a while, you will know where all sniper positions are at populated areas. Dodge the shots, grab a gun, go up to where they are, kill them...

PROFIT!

You get all their shit!

For example, the most well known and one of the best sniper spots that conceal the sniper is behind the elektro powerplant firehouse on top of the hill. I've killed two snipers up there myself.

Maybe they will add Z in the woods sooner or later. reflection doesn't work. This game wasn't made for special effects rather than educational, It's a derivate of a training program. Z normally come running, they can hear quite good. I though i was far enough when i fired a scoped rifle for the first time, maybe 10 seconds later a horde of zombies was rushing my way so all i could do is run out of the woods trying to shoot one after the other trying to reach my team who took care of them.

The biggest problem is DC on aggro where zombies magically dissapear when you disconnect.

Sure "every1" knows the sniper places. But for newcomers is pretty hard to kill some1 whos 800m away and you have just an axe or makarov and its not that snipers are dumbfked players, who just lay there and wait to get killed by a low range wpn ;) The time between "dodge them " "??????" and "profit" is in reality not that easy as to write on the forum.

edit: and its not that snipers shouldnt kill low equiped players, but it should be harder as "scoop- shot 10 times, miss 8 times, kill player, - watch around, scoop again...."

If you get sniped when you're in a town, you are bad. Run in a building
