Thread: Sniper Rifles: The Good And The Bad

Park, because you do get a few more rounds and it is quieter. The zeller does pack some punch though.

The Zeller purely because it can clear enemy explosives. No mine bait? No prob. Zellerman, please take out those rollie mines please.

And for a twisted laugh, if a sniper on your team detonates an APM/rollie mine laid by the enemy and it kills another person on the enemy team, the person laying the munitions gets tagged with a TK. Then when he gets punished for no reason he can discern, it just rattles some of them even more :9

Moretti. Best scope in the game.

Where's the choice that 'snipers are wimps?'

The zellar definitely looks the coolest, and I like the extra kick and the potential tactical uses. But the three round clip I don't like, I like haveing two extra shots for killing enemies as they get rezzed or for killing groups of snipers up on catwalks before they see that I'm there.

both are crap, the sniper in this game rarely has the upper hand. Im not talking about recon class, i mean the sniper. in every game a good sniper dominates, in this game a good sniper dominates for 2 minutes then gets run over, knifed, shot, orbitaled....
The Recon kit is what saved the sniper.

Honestly, if I'm commanding and I have orbitals available to me. I look for big clumps of red dots. If I can't find that, I WILL single out a solitary sniper or 2 and put the 1st round on his head. On Camp G, I think the snipers snuggle together for warmth because you can usually orbital 2 or 3 of them at once.

I thought it was by design to make sure the commander can get some kills during a round as well. Or it teaches dumb snipers not to sit in an exposed area.
