Lol, god I really hope they don't touch the HVR. Thankfully Matt stated he was happy with the balance as it is now so the point is already dead anyway.

Sniper rifles kill in one hit on headshot in most games anyway (and in some games, even body shots are enough), and if they don't a two shot is pretty typical. I've had far more trouble dealing with constant sidestrafing close range enemies and shoulder peeking shotguns than I've ever had against HVR users, and even then I think they're at a fine point too. If you're having issue with an HVR, just have someone switch to an HVR.

Now, maybe they could fix some of the silly gimmicks you can get away with -- like how people can uncrouch instantly, fire the HVR, and then crouch again. Or jumping HVR shots. But I wouldn't lose any sleep if they didn't touch that either. I think their efforts are better placed elsewhere.

The argument of snipers one shot killing in other games is irrelevant. In regards to your comment about switching to an hvr to counter an hvr is rather stupid. You shouldn't be forced into using an hvr because someone else is using one. Not many people that i've gone against or play with switch to a weapon to mirror another player. Hvr is the only one that really is like that. Even the old ntec (still hate that they changed it) doesn't compare to the hvr. No other sniper has that kind of damage or suppression. The DMR only comes close at 85m out but even then the hvr is just as effective. It needs to be brought inbetween the dmr and the scout. Its stronger than the scout but not stronger than the DMR at long range.

As i've said before with clanmates and friends. I feel like it would be better if they just removed the HVR and replaced it with the scout. Then have the DMR as the long range sniper. Thats just my personal opinion on it. Though i know thats pretty unlikely. I think they do need to lower the base damage of the hvr. It is to high for what it is. Removing Three Point Sling (3ps) won't solve it. Its not about the quick switching its about the massive amount of damage it can output in such little time. 850 damage is alot of damage and takes quite a long time to recover from regardless the health regen you have. You're allow to miss quite a couple follow up shots and can still execute a target that only you have tagged. I also feel that the damage needs to be lowered so that its not 2 shotting at long range. That way it will make the DMR stand out more for what its suppose to be.
