the only thing I hate about snipers

Even as a Vassili player, are those fucking jumping shots. I hate that crap. Why is it in the game ._. can we make that go away?

Ya I almost feel like I’m playing UT99 instagib matches when I see snipers consistently 1 shot people at varying distances while bunny hopping all over the map.

As I said in another thread, one shot mechanics detract from actual skill and only breeds more cheesey game play from lazy players that aren’t willing to invest time and effort in learning how to actually play the game.

This includes, but is not limited to >

  • Fraggers nades
  • Proxy landmines
  • Sparks rez rifle
  • Vassili sniper rifle

Then you have the issues with instagibbing corpses so that they can’t even be rez’d to compound the issue ten-fold.

Personally think there is a lot of class balance to still work out between the mercs in this game.

We have completely different opinions. I have no problems with snipers. I just hate jump sniping.
