Yeah, I agree, I think they would be too unbalanced.

God I hope not... That would really upset me, and I'm a sniper. M40A3 FTW.

If it made sense on the rifle then I would like to see them - just not trying to silence a .50 cal Barrett :P

They could balance it if they really wanted to. I don't care though.

I hope they do. I think it would be stupid of them not to implement at least a few. I'd be really happy if they added an SVU.

The theorwtical "Killcam Jammer" would be an amazing perk for sniping. I hope it's in the game.

I highly doubt it would be in multi-player. Cool idea though.

I believe they said there won't be. And a silencer for a sniper rifle would be largely useless.

How would it be useless. For one thing you wouldn't pop up on the radar, plus a suppressor lengthens the barrel which would increase accuracy.

90% of the time im way across the map so by the time they hear the shot they are already dead so for me it doesnt matter too much i dont use suppressors much anyway

clearly you dont know how suppressors work lol when a bullet goes through a suppressor its free floating already, they just catch the gas from the bullet when fired and store it and let it out slowly so it is quiet, it greatly reduces range and accuracy on any weapon

Actually some suppressed rifles the entire barrel is a an integrated suppressor like the Delyle from WW2. At 50 yards it's fire sound could be hidden by the rustling of leaves and it was fairly accurate for such and old rifle. Also a suppressor can increase the velocity of a bullet due to the way it utilizes the gas flow giving a round greater range.

They should have it for certain sniper rifles (not guns like the 50 cal though lol) but their should be some kind of consequence like damage reducer or something.

I think when sniping, showing up on the radar for the one shot doesn't matter. As long as you don't miss, and either way, there is killcam. And just because the silencer adds length doesn't mean it makes it any more accurate. Inside the barrel of a gun there are grooves to help the bullet spin, I am pretty sure those grooves aren't present in silencers, so it wouldn't make it more accurate (plus I don't think 5 inches or so would make such a huge difference on a gun that is already pinpoint accurate.)

The suppressor can be designed to utilize the gasses behind the round in different ways such as speeding them up and making them spin.
