snipers are one of the hardest weapons in the game to use ....... to what are you comparing it to ?

Nova knives.

Plasma Cannons.
Laser Rifles.
Shotguns.
Scrambler Pistols.

Tyjus Vacca doesn't know what he is talking about.

I don't know about the others as I've never really use them but Laser rifles are almost 'face your enemy, pull the trigger, watch shields and armour melt away. That's much easier then 'crouch, aim very carefully for the head which is actully smaller than the dot in the scope, fire, pray the hit detection actually admits it's a hit and that the target didn't decide to randomly change direction or jump in the time between your brain tells your finger to pull the trigger and whatever control method you use registers the button press becaus by the time you can take another shot they 're out of scope even if you don't have to reload'z

You always have to watch your range and heat levels, and overheating does 200 damage to the user. Meanwhile snipers work in the 50-600m range, and can sit 100s of meters in the redline and be completely safe. Sniping in this game is one of the easiest and most relaxing things I've ever done in an FPS, it basically point and click a few times. Just because you have to aim for the head, doesn't mean it takes more skill... Yours Truly, Reginald Fizzer94 Delafontaine III, Esquire
