squeek !
If you want to run around like a headless chicken spraying and praying, go and play Quake Arena or CS.
It must take a lot of skill and effort to empty half a clip at someone 50M away.
I'm getting sick to death of people whining about snipers. (yes I'm a sniper)
If you are being sniped, try to use your brain and locate them.
It's not hard to do.
First of all there will be a yellow area indicated on your navigation dial, showing the general area the sniper is shooting from.
Secondly if you use your ears (Usually found on each side of your head) You will be able to narrow down the area to search and get an idea of distance.
Thirdly look for there muzzle flash.
Not exactly brain surgery is it ?
If you don't want to get shot by a sniper don't run in straight lines. Don't stand still. Don't go to the same places on a map all the time.
I enjoy sniping.
I enjoy finding possible targets.
I enjoy estimating there distance.
I enjoy trying to predict a targets movement.
I enjoy estimating lead time for distance and lag.
I enjoy trying to aim for a head shot.
I enjoy trying to kill with 1 shot.
I really enjoy it when I actually succeed.
It's a pity there is no wind effect like df2.
If you think snipers have a big advantage think again.
They carry less ammo.
They have relatively slow firing weapons.
They are usually prone or crouched stationary targets
They have restricted vision when using a scope.
They spend allot of time trying to find good sniping positions and avoiding cqb .
Gunners have weapons which can penetrate buildings, can fire a large amount of ammo over large distances. (great for spray and prayers)
Medics get points just for pressing a button as they run over a dead body.
They are also the fastest running character. Lost count of the number of medics I've seen, not medding but just running around knifing.
Engineers don't even need to see the enemy to kill and get points. All they need is someone to designate a target for them to shell.
Riflemen can do almost everything.
Snipe up to 500M
Grenade.
Spray and pray.
Designate targets.
Run reasonably fast.
Quit whining and learn how to play the game.
