The problem with snipers
Good evening everyone,
I'm here to vent a bit from my point of view. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, just giving my perspective on the whole thing.
But I feel like there is way too many snipers available in the rounds being played nowadays.
The maps are getting more and more open, a lot of the fun, closed in areas are getting removed and replaced with open areas fit for the snipers taking.
There are so many games where everything has gone right, with lots of fun and interesting close combat or mid range fights, working your way up for a potential win.
Then all of a sudden it's all brought to an end, when you get squeezed in by two to three squads, all wielding snipers, and you're powerless.
They're not firing at eachother, they're almost ignoring eachother because they're behind cover, with their bags filled up with medical supplies.
And there you are, stuck in the open, maybe a rock could save you? No, because there's more than one squad aiming down your neck.
I really think this game could benefit from having less snipers be available per round, and even add in more closed in areas, like good old Skull Town, or even Slum Lakes.
But no, they had to be removed and replaced with open areas, again, fit for the snipers and not really for the people who enjoy a good, high paced close combat fight.
I remember the good old Kings Canyon, before all the events unraveled, where there were lots of buildings to hide in, at bridges, south and east settlement, thunderdome and whatnot.
But they are nothing but a thing of the past nowadays. You could choose where to take the fights, you could utilize the buildings to your advantage.
Nowadays you're lucky if you manage to get close to a building before you're sniped down.
At the same time, I know change is required to keep a game alive. However, it feels like some of the changes have not been for the better in my opinion.
But, I am just one guy, with one heck of an opinion. I'm interested in seeing what you guys think.
