Will snipers/marksmen get camo coats and wrapped rifles?

[Scharfschütze]

I think its good if heroes can choose a camouflage as sniper. Its only an advanage if you are trying to hide in a position without moving. If you are running around with the camouflage like every other soldier, you will be fast spotted as a sniper from an enemy sniper and he will give all his attention to you.

I'd love to see it as an unlock or a random part of your suit so that some get it others don't. but to be honest its not necessary id actually rather it be just a random part of his suit. so you could have one this life but not the next or maybe you get extra lucky and get it again.

All this talk about sniping brings up another question, do people in HoS do that thing in other FPS's where they shoot bullets out of their foreheads rather than out of the gun barrel.

I'm serious about not having scoped weapons.
Only complaints I ever saw from the total lack of snipers on a map was from either the people who style themselves as snipers or those incapable of adapting.

I agree with this. As far as I've seen in RO, maps without scoped rifles (some quite large maps) don't have any balance issues due to the lack of "snipers". The ranges fought at are still generally short enough that a rifleman who has practised for a little bit can pick off anyone who is holding up the team. It's a bit harder of course, but that works both ways so there aren't balance issues.

Even if it's not related to the topic, I would actually like to know this as well.

'There could be 2 roles:
Marksmen who play with regular cape (plasch palatka) and "HEROS" will be able to play as a sniper with special camo.
(wrapped rifle ect. could be additional achievements)'

This ! It would be perfect

judging by OST, no.

judging by OST, no.

But this is how it was in OST. The barrel of the gun came out of people's foreheads.

Since theres weapon collision it would seem silly for the bullets not to come out of the weapon barrel.

Hero snipers (and only hero snipers) should have slight clothing customization options.
Also, I love Vassili Zaitsev. Such a badass. Read his book if you like Stalingrad literature.

So far the only map I've see that a sniper is a legit is fallen heroes all others are too confined after all anything under 200yds you don't need a scope for, or simply don't understand how to make a correct sight picture with open sights. More than likely it's COD kiddies that wasn't able to grab a smg or semi to spray and pray.

Would be damn cool if you could be a female sniper on the russian side. Would be pretty revolutionary when it comes to WW2-FPS'es too

 

[Andreson]

I want that feature!

 

[Joseph-Porta]

in HoS.. you are a marksman.. not a sniper.

Hero snipers (and only hero snipers) should have slight clothing customization options.
