Hello there!
When I'm playing I like to use the sniper and aim for the headshot. This is one of the things I absolutely love. The only downside to it is that it doesn't feel as rewarding as I'd prefer.
I did some research and the sniper does an approximate 41-42 damage, this will kill you in 5 shots since you have 200hp (you all know this already). What I'm suggesting would be to increase the sniper's headshot damage from 100 to 160. This means that you would be able to kill a player by shooting them once in the head and then once in the body, making it much more rewarding for sniping someone in the head. Though not so rewarding as to be a one hit kill.
The sniper is a walking weapon, which means you cannot sprint. You need to be standing still in order to fire your weapon, and the default scope is blocking quite a lot of your view. It also has a slightly limited fire-rate (unlike the deagle's which you can avoid with C-Bug). And after all that you need to actually hit the head, which isn't all too easy. These would be my arguments for having the HS damage increased to reward players who are able to do this more.
If you think that having 160 damage (headshot and bodyshot) is too much then my second choice would be 120 damage (headshot and 2 bodyshots).
I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinions on the matter, everyone can't be as fond of sniping as I am. Let me know why, or why you wouldn't want this to happen.
TL;DR Increase the headshot damage from 100 to 160! Yay or nay?
Edit: Since the vote results after about three weeks were 17 yes and 10 no, I'm changing the poll to 120 damage to see the results.
