EA Staff (Retired)Well I've finally unlocked snipers... they're incredibly underwhelming, not the answer I was hoping they would be for GDI, they are effectively riflemen with two range and a little extra health for 5x the price, they don't even fight flame troopers well let alone any lab/temple tier infantry, and flame troopers cost 10 less; these really need a buff to damage.
As an example, I just had a game where I had a sniper and a wolverine at full health shooting a cyborg that came up to attack the wolverine, both the sniper and wolverine got first shots, the wolverine still died before the cyborg. I want to like the sniper and I'll give it another game or two to be sure, but really the damage is just too low for it to be of any use in a match.
EDIT: Yeah, never using snipers in their current state, MRLS is better at killing infantry than they are, looking at stats my riflemen at the same level even do more damage than snipers....
@JadeXyan there is room for more now!
Hearing about the sniper underwhelming play...makes me sad. Forever harder to play GDI
