Should we limit snipers on Acropolis to -1

Albino Gibbon

They have it way to easy on this map. Not only that, I hate dying to one of them, when I am going one on one with somebody in the yard and 1 of the 3 snipers drop me to -85 by picking me off hiding up top.

well i hate them, but theya re limited already and a sniper on your side isn't a bad thing. sometimes when 3 of the best snipes are ont he same side it can get bad, but on acrop... there are so many paths throguh that thing that ti doens't matter you'll get the eventually. so my vote went for no?

Nah, leave the snipers as it is. All it takes is a good determined solly or Pyro, or another sniper on your team, and the "problem" is solved. Personally, I take pride in "supressing" their snipers on acropolis2, since it's easy to come around from several angles to get at them.

If you limit snipers on any map it would be Warpath. Plus I love chasing Spanish Warpig all over Acropolis with the primed grenade.

3 is too many for any map, or team. Play something that takes some talent and is more helpful to your team. IMHO sniper limit should be 1 b/c that is more than enough. They're unproductive on defense and useless on offense. Even the best snipers don't hit concing medics or scout and they pose the largest threat to your offense.

well since many people are conufsed and think sniping is a useful class, can we have a SNIPER FREE NIGHT or NIGHTS? like days that end in "Y"? that would be great..snipers suck! heh

I have to go with Frag and say if you limit them at all...do it on warpath. Snipers on Acrop2 are a breeze to get past. On warpath you can get around an entire team and be almost to CP 1/5 and you get splattered by some random sniper who just sits and waits for people to come to him...lame IMHO.

Well, to be honest I think 3 snipers on acropolips or on any map rotation is too much. 2 would suffice as a limit because a team doesn't need 3 offy/def. snipers imho. There should be an equilibrium, where both sides of the spectrum should be satisfied

I think 2 would be good. Maybe that would allow those who just play the sniper class to broaden their horizons. I think a versatile player is always good

one is plenty i think they are unproductive as flag cappers and can't effectively (that means more than one out of every 4) stop any offensive class (scout/medic). given they can completely ruin a map for an O soldier, but who wants to be a ruiner?

Haha, yea good idea! I am totally for limiting snipers to -1 on that map, not only would it not allow ANY snipers, but it would kill those who tried!

Oh wait...did i just interpret that all wrong?

I say limit the snipers to -1 on warpath and to 2 on most every other map. I don't have too much against snipers, since it IS a class in the game. The problem arises when you have 3 snipes on your team who are all -2 and 17, and the other team has 3 great snipes that are 50 and 3. It ruins the map completely, since no one will go on O and you get almost no action on D. I have a bind that says "The only people who complain about snipers, are those who know they're right"

If you've gone through a scenario like the one I just described (happens almost every other map), then you should know what I mean

I really dislike being killed by anyone... so why don't we set all classes to -1.

Dealing with snipers is part of this game.

I do think all classes should be limited to 2... especially when there are only 9 slots available on a server. Having 3 of anything seems a tad bit ridiculous.
