tree_ 4 Posted September 20, 2018 Sniper actually is one of the 4 (or 5) classes that takes skill 1 1 mrnutty12 and DepressedNeonNepp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuen 14 Posted September 20, 2018 I’m pretty neutral, but I think that he should do less body shot damage, just saying, it’s pretty annoying to just get killed over and over again by some guy on the other side of the map. But it’s also fun to be that guy. So, he cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too tired to actually go on a long tirade or something. 1 YeEternalTuna reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Segal 59 Posted September 20, 2018 I think sniper is usually fine, but the one thing that bothers me is the fucking jarate + bushwacka combo. It is so stupid. Hey lets give a class that can insta kill long range one of the easiest close range insta kills in the game. hmmmm 1 mrnutty12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey lets give a class that can insta kill long range one of the easiest close range insta kills in the game. hmmmm For one I never liked sniper, I enjoy playing him but dying across the map is never enjoyable, and being honest the jarate +bushwaka for me is easy to deal with because they lock onto you so hard that its not even funny, Ive gotten some really easy matadors and airblasts off cliffs because of how much tunnel vision they get. They can be annoying but if you learn what to do against that is gets pretty fun messing with snipers with tunnel vision, that's why I don't tend to chase after people with the bushwaka after the jarate. I just tend to go for scoped body shots because they do about 68 damage per hit when not charged so it works for me. Over all though sniper is something very annoying to beat at times. 1 cook reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekk 272 Posted September 20, 2018 Fun to play as, worst class to play against. Especially on TGH where on most maps, Snipers can hang by their spawn and if they get hurt, they just replenish their health, come back and click on your head. Nightmare. 1 cook reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find medics more frustrating by far. You are essentially fighting 2 people if the medic is not actively healing them after giving them overheal, and it also negates a lot of what all of the classes give because of it. The regen as well as overheal that medic brings with his medi gun unbalances teams so much if the other team doesn't have one to the point I'd rather leave than play sometimes unless I'm in a mood where I'm just moping around 1 mrnutty12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check Pokémon. They can sit 5 feet away from spawn and see the other side of the map, the sight lines are awful, but that comes with with makin Pokémon city maps.

SegFault 329 Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) I don't think snipers are innately bad in fps games but I think in tf2 sniper doesn't necessarily fit in with the flow of the game...For most maps and scenarios at least Edited September 20, 2018 by SegFault (see edit history) 1 mrnutty12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
