Thread: Snipers: Not Just Each Other's Problem Anymore

I like sniping in this game a lot, even though I usually don't like sniping. One reason I like sniping so much more in TF2, is that it is much more involved. Your job as sniper is just to shoot everyone you see. You need to pick priority targets; medics, heavies, engineers etc. In fact, one of the best uses of a sniper IMO is to kill an engy camping his nest, allowing soldiers to corner hump it to death.

I really enjoyed your posts Cheese. I agree that communication and teamwork can really improve a sniper's time. One thing that people don't realize is how helpful a heavy can be to a sniper in a duel. If I'm sniping against the enemy's sniper and a heavy starts shooting my way, I'll usually loose due to screen shake.
