Underwater snipers

To me this poll is useless. I hope we are not about to make a rule about that, or that ppl will actually *ask* for a rule. I never snipe, I too get pissed when sniped from underwater, but geez, I'm pissed when medic conc over my sg, I'm pissed when spies throw gren at my sg undetected, I'm pissed when demomen throw a MIRV without looking....BUT THAT'S THE DAMN GAME. Stop whining and find a way around it.

As for D3D and openGL, it's also another useless rant. All ppl accross North America have different systems/computer/mouse/CONNECTION (yeah, you know, some ppl fire faster than other in case nobody noticed...), so for God's sake, stop whining about some advantages ppl have and you don't. You probably have other advantages not that obvious.

My attitude to that game is I own with what I have. If somebody get pass me using a trick or because he use something I don't, I will try to get him back next pass with a trick or two.

Next time you see snipers in water in Rock2, change to a medic and conc over, then infect them. Or.... go on your snipers nest as demo, and throw a MIRV the other side, or change as snipers yourself and snipe them from the top. No need to see them, I think you see the name appear when you sight them.

Find a solution, there is always one.

To be fair, the folks using D3D may not even realize that there are other players who cannot see out of the water. The game just happens to be like that . . . it's not like they intentionally went out of their way to find and install a cheat.

Just curious, but does anyone know how widespread D3D players are? Like OSU, I am completely unable to get smooth gameplay from D3D. Is that typical of NVIDIA cards?

The only time i go under the water is when some engi grabs the suit in the sniper deck. i usually jump out and fall into the water. Now if ya got common since u know the other team did this too. so even though i can't see i start shooting and sometimes i'll get someone. Anyways most of the time i jump into the water, the other team usually has a sg and i get killed anyways. So its all gravy.

Easiest solution (what PJ said): Conc past them!! They won't be helping out their team anymore, since they can't hit you, and then you get on with your life.

I sometimes snipe underwater. I don't have anything to let me see underwater or anything though. I pretty much only do it on 2fort, you can stand ontop of the light, crouch down, and can cover the whole water area. This defend's your base, and its a legal part of the game.
