--- Quote from: Azzurolix on March 10, 2011, 11:11:58 PM ---holy stuff what Do you have any sense of logic? Why would a .50 or even a .45 caliber bullet take away merely 30 percent of health? Maybe if you get shot in the foot, but seriously? Everywhere? --- End quote --- Balance > Realism. My blockland mod has had this kind of sniper for years now and I haven't found any issue with it. It's more enjoyable than other snipers; the lack of an instant kill means the sniper can actually be made viable instead of having hefty restrictions placed on it. Generally, the idea is that, having an incredibly powerful weapon is not balanced by giving it incredible drawbacks. The sniper has to be slotted into a support role from the offset and as such should not have sufficient firepower to make an assault alone. The 30% makes him viable against enemies that are distracted by teammates. |

Besides, 30 percent is absolutely pathetic. If you hit him in the head from a "support" role, especially when he's trying to avoid somebody on foot, you and your team deserve a kill. |
