I think the sniper should be able to deploy a shooting position that allows him to fire with maximum accuracy from a crouch.

Here's how it would work:

-The sniper would have to crouch down where he wants his shooting position.

-Once in position, the sniper would have to select shooting position from the weapons menu (similar to selecting deployed mode for MG's).

-Once he selects shooting position, he will be locked in position (meaning he cannot move forward, back, left, right, etc), so he can only move his crosshair to aim.

-You could also limit the amount of rotation allowed. For example, instead of being able to swivel 360 degrees, you could make it 45 degrees. Also, you could reduce sensitivity when in "shooting position" mode.

-After being in "shooting position" mode for 7-seconds, the sniper would have maximum accuracy, as if he were prone.

I think this would really improve the sniper class, and it's also realistic. Also, I'm not talking about resting the rifle on a wall or anything, so this should be very doable by the devs. It is very similar to the deployed mode with the MG, but from a crouch.

i like it, like the improvised positions thign?

I read that post, but it just suggested making the sniper deploy his rifle in the prone position instead of just lay down and start shooting. This is actually quite a bit different because it addresses the need for a higher shooting position than prone with max accuracy.

Again, this post is about the sniper being able to engage with max accuracy without being prone. I just suggested a way to do this which involves a similar system as that.

Annnnnnnnnd here's the lock. This other thread is open and still pretty new, continue discussion there.

Also, in the future please use the search function. I searched using "sniper" and "deploy" and found this other thread.

Thanks,
