Considering the amount of effort and skill that goes into using sniper + pistol (compared to the other weapons that can easily sustain themselves), and how easily it is screwed-over with even the slightest amount of armor....I've always felt snipers should be better rewarded. In the end they are still rewarded only 1 frag, the same as that trigger-happy SMG'er beside them.
Also factor in that the overwhelming majority of match maps are short/mid-range maps, where snipers are already heavily limited to which areas/paths they can maneuver around.
Was 85 damage too much?
Also another topic (sorry for asking here) but is Knife damage lowered by armor? If it is, please consider allowing it to fully ignore armor. I know it's only a support weapon but again this ties into Snipers, who RELY on support weapons to get the job done. When a sniper + knife doesn't kill my opponent I feel like crying :(
