I have to agree that snipers can be quite frustrating and on the few sniper vs sniper maps one person always owns everyone else but i can’t think of the amount of times a sniper has saved my ass or has given me a chance to live. I can’t imagine a game without the snipers and i can’t wait for the sniper update for one reason: FLARE GUN PLAYGROUND FOR ME!

Josh: “(except the people who play sniper)”

… No, because those people don’t play sniper. Anyone who plays sniper obviously wants to keep them in the game, that’s why they play sniper.

I dont think any resrtictions are to be made. I like the class as is. I would enjoy the sniper class update to include the feet scope but thats it.

Josh, I don’t know if you have to resort to something that extreem, just make it so that the sniper rifle only kills heavies, engies and their buildings, other snipers and maybe solgiers. The sniper’s job is to keep down the heavy/medic combos that are so hard to kill without team coordination. They are not suppose to kill medics, pyros, scouts jumping over them, or -God forbid- cloaked spies!

If snipers were removed from the game, would anybody actually miss them (except the people who play sniper)?

Snipers are a dick class, bringing down insta-kills without giving their victim a fair chance to fight back.

Honestly, I don’t play sniper often because it ALWAYS just ends up like this post describes - sniper (me) vs superior sniper and the actual people I should be picking off get away scott free. It doesn’t help either team and it must end now.

Valve must be doing a good job because just a few months ago people are complaining about too many snipers.

Yeah! Don’t kill each other, because I enjoy sneaking up behind you and owning you too much! Heh.

Anyway, good post, but my irregular and deep hatred of all snipers ever still remains.

Great first post!

My main class is sniper and I freakin’ love to plant lead right between unsuspecting enemies eyes. I imagine them getting startled by the sudden headshot and I love it. I can’t wait for the heavy update. It will be a shooting range with barely mobile targets for us snipers.
