I wouldn't miss snipers if they left the game, especially since "sniper wars" usually turn out to be a big jumpfest of retardation where the laggiest and luckiest player gets all the kills.



I see your point. The person with the better computer and connection will usually win the snipe wars. Point well said.

However, there was a reply said earlier about putting the ramjet bullets per clip to 1. I solely agree with this. Make shots count more instead of shooting and hopefully hitting someone.

This is a debate that has sturred up alot of attention and i like the fact that everyone is so open on it and it hasnt turned into a flame war. (which ive noticed, these forums are getting better at controlling)

I dont like the idea of taking out snipers. Because, simply, its a war game. Fantasy war, yes, but still war. You tell me what kind of army doesnt have their sharp shooters?

Its like any infantry. I can pwn most people with a simple engineer with a pistol. But you dont see them coming and talking about eliminating them.

Its all about balance, making their head shots a one kill, i agree with. However, they should scale down the damage to tanks. And the damage to body shots.

As far as I know, their arent "damage regions" (for example: the head being 1 hit KO while as the foot would take like 10 shots) If they introduced something like this, i believe that the balance would be created and the people would stop their bitching.

No, messes up balance, just like changing objects.dbb does.

How? The only things I can think of is hillcamping in HGlass and Orcas/Apaches...but we don't have Hourglass in our map rotation and PIC/Rav>Orca/Apache any day of the week... Big Grin Satisfied

Actually, the sharpshooter role doesn't disappear entirely when the actual snipers are taken out...it is simply played by different units! (PIC's and Ravs to be exact...which are FAR more flexible then a 500 sniper or even a ramjet in, say, the congested field of Islands)

God, I really, really hate people who are a.snipers only and b.have very fast computer.
I have been lagging a lot in this game, then got a better computer and I am still slightly lagging, so sniping is out of the question for me. Maybe if I decrease the details, and then I will be able to snipe.

Usually, I have so many friends in the games, that I laugh and continue. Nothing happens. Though, i have been tested for big head/aimbot more then once.

You know how you get friend in servers?

When your on same team, tell them to rush with you over and over again. They ebcome accustomed to you. And will eventually turst you as a friend.
I have so many friend because of this.

A pic/rave is limited by its range. That makes the biggest difference and that makes all the difference.

I agree that ramjets should onlt be able to fire once, then reload. I'm so sick of everyone just buying ramjets all the time. Ramjets also take all the fun out of being able to drive aircraft.

It's not a matter of using them, it's using them at the right time/place Wink.

The only thing really annoying about ramjets it's the sick amount of points u get with them for shooting tanks.
