Would you play in a server where sniper units were prohibited/disabled? (simple yes/no suffices)

I'm really more sick of Ramjets than the 500-credit Sniper character.

Pathetic as it sounds, I second this motion. So...obviously...I vote "yes".

Absolutely not. It completely messes up the balance of the game.

Hourglass isn't in the map rotation and City Flying stays balanced because of PIC's and Ravs...

500 snipers are fine...they're only a 1-hit-kill potential if it's a headshot, and they aren't nearly as potent against aircraft.
n00bjets should be wiped off the face of the earth.

I gotta ask... What was Westwood intending for the Ramjet Rifle? Did they just want to make a Super Sniper Rifle of sorts, or did they want to make some sort of psycho-extreme-range-anti-light vehicle gun with it as well? If the former, why not mount a scope on Personal Ion Cannons and Railguns, and if the latter, why did they goof on the Light Armor so badly? Time constraints?

Too bad it's not possible (maybe it is I don't know) to reduce the damage for shooting the main part of the vehicle, but keep it the same for say the windows and doors.
When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.
However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

err... i use ramjets(maybe im a NOOB), but i like using them since they have more armor and can take more damage.

The Ramjet rifle is a high-tech sniper rifle with the same scope capabilities but far more powerful rounds; it has twice as much damage as the sniper rifle, the same as a personal ion cannon. With jet-propelled shells roaring from its barrel, the ramjet is fatal against all infantry and even potentially dangerous against vehicles. Though its rate of fire is lower than the sniper rifle, its reload time is faster.

No, messes up balance, just like changing objects.dbb does.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I think an infantry-only game without snipers would be pretty fun... If you've ever played a DM map, most people just choose snipers, and it isn't very interesting.

I guess it would depend on what you consider interesting. Personally, I find sniping in infantry games to be pretty fun, but thats just me. I can see where you are coming from though, sometimes, when I wasn't a sniper yet, I hated playing against a ton of snipers. But sniping with a 500 sniper can be very, very fun.
ESOW forever!

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.
