In the right range, they're awesome, as you have shown.

They also get 20 rounds in every respawn, even if you're out of ammo. That's been nice for getting the special kills for the IB bounty.

And since it's not been mentioned, they are perfect for those times when you get someone down to one shot and have to reload your primary. Switching to your sidearm is quicker than switching to any other special and you don't have to aim as carefully as a sniper or be in close range as a shotgun so finishing someone off is usually a quick shot.

Tweak it, sure, but don't downright nullify it.

Heck, Treyarch's Call of Duty games have Aim Assist, but give players the option to disable it altogether (and Sammy and I do).

Still, my issue is with Sniper Rifles having it. Want to keep it on Primaries? That's fine. Just disable it for Specials, or at least get rid of the magnetism.

I think there should be a distance shorter of which precision shots do regular body damage (say, optimal Fusion Rifle range) and stronger zoom scopes to reflect that.

Negative-Friction Smart-matter rounds: The bullet's speed and lethality increase the farther it travels.

Ship it. Throw it into the Grimiore afterwards :P

They still need to zoom in farther. I argue that the Custom Optics perk on a sniper should be the lowest zoom available. If you use Patience & Time's Custom Optics, you are still MUCH further zoomed in than Ambush or Shortgaze (there might me others, but these two I know for sure).

I'm perfectly okay with people scoped in sniping down a lane. Hold down a lane of approach is what snipers are meant for. I'm not okay with this. That should never happen with a sniper. I don't care how good a shot you are.

Heh - I've done that out of panic a few times, and it's been awesome. :)

No sniper rifle should have any form of aim-assist on it. 1000 Yard Stare is a borderline-broken weapon because of its ridiculous magnetism and aim assist, and it's on the list of weapons that I don't use out of principle.

Should you be able to snipe somebody a second after seeing them? Sure, if your aim and reflexes are true, and luck is on your side. Should you be able to hit the Aim button and pull the trigger for a nearly-guaranteed headshot just because the enemy is in front of you? Never. You shouldn't be able to just sit and zero in on a spot in front of you for a permanently head-level shot, either. This is why most games have a sway to the sniper scope.
