Should we limit snipers on Acropolis to -1

One additional thing I'd like to spout, is that I do not envy certain
people here that have to, say, choose server policies and quite
likely tick off some people on both sides no matter what.

The AC isn't very inaccurate when used at close range. It rips through people almost as fast as a backstab. There's a reason why HWs score the highest. I could easily get over 100 with HW while eating a burrito and playing cutting my nails simultaneously

Only an idiot would use an AC for longrange. Wasn't the accuracy increased after 1.5? I *wouldn't* care about HWs if the # was limited to 1 though.

I guess 5 soldiers would distort the game because they would get raped by a good O.

I have played ALL classes and HW, Engi, and sniper all needed strict limitations

You couldn't even really say "Spoken like a true medic/soldier" because I am so versatile.

Saying that a sniper hiding all the way in his base picking people from that distance is in no way fair. I've played sniper on Warpath before. I'll tell you it isn't far at all. Thankfully most snipers have moved on to other classes. There is not much of a chance to beat the sniper when he gets a free shot, reload, shot, reload, grenade, machine gun in while trying to fend off two or three others. This is not fair especially on a map such as that. Sniping slows the games down. 1 sniper on Warpath (sniper friendly maps) are fine. Maps like Avanti, non Valve maps, and even Acropolis you can deal with two at the max. The turtle sniper is what ended the POTW awards. I know this because I won my one POTW by having to play sniper turtle style for the last two days.

BTW Spy is only really effecitve on Avanti.

PS: Please end the myth that I only play spy. Spy is mostly reserved for Avanti only. Thanks

Well cycodad said personal attacks are lame but oh well Sodum please STFU #Fist

and spare us your idiotic babble.

honestly i still dont get those who hate snipers. they are so easy to kill ne 1 who goes after a sniper will usuly win snipers have almost no armor so they die real quick.
after reading the posts in this thread i remembered that 3 an acrop is to many i think 2 or 1 would be better. with 3 it become sniper vs sniper and so they are distracted from their actual jobs of defending the flag if a sniper can kill u are your on O than he just helped his team. as for the argument that snipers cant hit moving targets that is bs. weak snipers cant but the good 1's will nail ya. just cause i cant tag a concing scout every time doesnt mean i cant help my team. every bit of damage i do to the opponent helps my D out. every time i kill some guy pop shoting my teams medic as he croses the yard helps him out. snipers are there to protect their team mates.

And sodum please dont go and say how gay i am cause im a sniper. oh no pig is a sniper he shot me how gay blah blah blah if u dont like snipers deal with it cause guess what if i had it my way u would be banned...oh wait that already happend, so guess who seems to have the real problem here.

to all those who have presented their argument for and against snipers in a civil matter i thank u for your opinions though i dont neccisarily agree with them but as long as you arnt flaming ne1 its cool with me.

Pig, if you were easy to kill you wouldn't put up insane k:d ratios

A good sniper is hard to touch because they can also fight with their autorifle and grenades. They aren't slow and can retreat quickly when danger approaches. If the sniper limit was contained to 1, maybe even 2, I could still enjoy the game. It adds a twist to pub games. It gets annoying though when the sniper count gets up to 3+ and the snipers have at least some skill. Why try to venture out of your base? It's no surprise to what will happen. Snipers are either one extreme or the other in a pub environement. They are either terrible and mess up your team to no end, or they pick off everyone and drag the game. Both can be resolved with a more strict limit.[/b]

JR, I don't know why you didn't get banned from the forums too. I swear you will take any opportunity to slam someone. The only time you seem to have anything to say in these forums is when you can insult someone. Why bother? If this place and these people mean so little to you, why would you waste your energy posting here? And why does the opinion of someone who can't play here matter? None of this affects you. So peddle your dime store opinions of the rules and the people somewhere else.

Oh, you are in TVL... that's right, so I guess your opinion does matter after all. But wait... how is that possible? How can someone who is banned from The Ville servers be in TVL. Interesting. TVL is for Ville regs... kinda hard to be a reg when you can't play on the servers. Unless of course... ah, never mnd.

Anyway... that karma thing is gonna bite you in the butt.
