Thread: snipers? or soldiers?
if we're snipers, why cant we snipe?
if we're soldiers, why cant we hit our targets while we are moving?
explain
developers were always fearing how snipers could dominate the game
in fighting game the prospect of "sniper" has always caused flocks of players to swarm towards the style of play. AWPs in CS, sniper rifle in UT and lightning gun in UT2k3, hordes of newbies in Tribes1/2 with laser rifles trying to hit other players, failing, but doing it anyway because they like the idea of being far removed from the action and picking stuff of with minimal risk.
so the devs put some serious restrictions on riflemen in the game, but overdid it, turning them into the weakest ranged profession in the game.
so just gimps then.
i know that, i just wanted to see others post it.
On TC we have(was last week so could have changed) about doubleaccuracy gained from the rifleman tree plus triple the +aim accuracy bonus.
You should not be missing anywhere near as much if this goes live.
