I warned people months ago that if snipers are going to stay this easy to use, games like that are going to happen. Why risk a suit when you can just take out the enemy from a far without even losing a single suit? |

Why risk a suit when you can just take out the enemy from a far without even losing a single suit? All it takes is a good counter sniper (and a bit of cover or a decent perch) and snipers become sitting ducks. Having to stay still to make the shot is one of the sniper's weaknesses. Ah, but I guess you don't see the problem with that do you? Well, let me ask, what happens when the enemy brings a sniper to counter that sniper? Well, they bring another. And then that sniper brings another one. And another one. And it has the snowball effect, and soon enough at least 90% of each team are snipers. And if you think this never happens, I encountered at least 30 matches like that.
And its not like any other class can take them out, which means snipers are the only way to take out snipers. Imagine the rage if the only way to take out a tank was a tank. Or an assault required an assault. Or a Heavy required a heavy. |

And before you bring scouts with shotguns into the mix, remember that by the time that scout gets there, a sniper would have already killed 5 snipers.
Circular logic much? If you get killed off repeatedly sniping, or if it takes a long time to get back to your perch, you do something else. If it's all dingleberries that don't know any better, boo hoo. And you ignore the main problem. *Clap, clap, clap* |
