Snipers are a completely superfluous class in every game they are in. I have never played a game where a sniper is necessary for anything except counter-sniping.

There's a difference between suspense and having only a short of time before some skilless forget one-shots you from across the map. Paying attention does not help at all. If the sniper can see you, you are dead. If you can see the sniper, he's been watching you. There is no way to stop them other than driving up to them in a vehicle or having someone else suppress them while you get closer and even then there's no guarantees.

And even then there's nothing they can do that other classes can't do better other than long range anti-infantry, which doesn't even need its own role.

If you really hate snipers just play in closed-area maps. I always quit servers that use those kinds of maps. I can't get a shot at all.
And btw, decent games don't have 1-shot-1-kill sniping weapons.

Just because you can't get a shot in a close-quarters map doesn't mean it's not impossible. It's not uncommon for me to see people replacing their scopes with red dots for CQ maps on games that allow it.

The whole POINT of a sniper in nearly every game seems to be "one shot one kill", what the hell are you talking about?

and this is what I like to call a typical Blockland forum conversation.

In most games that I snipe in only the cash shop weapons actually do 1hKO-s. If you want to kill them, you're gonna have to headshot them. Twice. loving helmets >:U
