Should we limit snipers on Acropolis to -1

Acrop2 IMO is the best sniper vs sniper map. Usually if I'm sniping all you need is 1 enemy sniper and I'll consentrate solely on him.

As said before, snipers can be a big help. If you are a spy for example, and you are running through the canyon thing in Acropolis2 with the flag and 3 sollys are behind you, have 3 snipers can come in handy. But 2 would be fine, cuz like hoaxie mentioned on a server with only 9 slots, having snipers be 1/3 of your team can suck. Snipers, I'll agree, ruin maps (like well). However, If there were no snipers, some of the fun would be taken away. me and krazi scout go sniper hunting as spies whenever were both on, and it's really fun.

The map is generally not well constructed IMO anyway, so sniperwars are fun

I didn't mean get rid of them on all maps. I guess part of my problem is I will go hunt them down when they do that and it kind of takes me out of the game. Warpath is another map that snipers can be a pain. A sniper is part of the game. I have no problem with them on Avanti or Badlands or pretty much any other map. That one just bothers me for some reason. I can see it happening on Warpath, but I am not much of a capper on that map. I do know Frag hates them on it though.

Which server is it snipers set for 3? Can't remember if it was TV2 or TV3. I know one of them does. It would be cool to have custom .cfg setups for each map played.

To be honest I get on the agile tender side when I'm DM'ing someone and I get popped from far away by a pesky sniper. Don't worry I like snipers, that's why I'm going to kill them last

Sometimes when I do get irritated I try to be the hunter instead of being the hunted. Good stuff.

TV2 limits snipers to 2 per map except for murderball, where they're not allowed.

As much as it pains me to say this, snipers are necessary. I agree with the limit of 2 and not 3 though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH HEHEHEE HOOHOHOHAHA! Snipers take skill! Hahahahah! That's a good one. No, seriously. Anymore funny jokes for us today?

I voted no, since actually acrop is a nice map for snipers. Why? It's so open, it's great to kill them, and i enjoy killing snipers.

But!

My personal opinion is that snipers should be removed completly from all maps but i doubt that will come to pass; they are a no talent class, even more point and click than HWs, And can kill anything in a shot. That is the true definition of a newb cannon.

I don't agree with the all classes to two things, that's really on the players to have common sense. Limiting everything to two should not be put on priority; first lower the classes that need to be lowered before getting rid of true hard to play classes. Then again, this is comming from someone who's ideal game is 5 solly d, 4 medic o, so, hey. Take it or leave it.

Snipers, HWs, Engies, And maybe soldiers should be limited to -1, 1, 2, and 3/4 respectivly, because noone wants to play against a 2 hw 4 engie 4 soldier D. And snipers just need to die. Many deaths. Offense primary classes shouldn't be limited because they arn't over powered; it's just how people use them.

One thing that they do in CS(Not saying i like cs but, hey), is limit snipers (AWPers) to 5 hp the first time they used it, and then kicked them the second time. If it's possible to limit them to 5 hp everytime, then i wouldn't mind snipers since so long as you can see them you can kill them then. The sniper class is supposed to be stealthy and tricky. Even with that they are a noob cannon, but if they have 5 life they will have to put a bit more thought into playing the class, when any scout can single shotty you out from halfway across the map.

Another point is that snipers arn't O or D perse, they are really just dm machines to a sort. One hit, instakill dm machines, but that's beyond the point. The game is capture the flag (Or some other objective like that); snipers don't stop people from capping nor help push thier flag.
