Everyone wants to be a Sniper? I mean whats so special about a sniper rifle, wow it has a scope so I can see my enemy from far away, it don't make any sense to me.
 
Hard to use??? it's more difficult trying to shoot an enemy at 200 yards on DOD S with M1 Garand then it is with a rifle with a scope mounted on it that magnifies your target x number of times, it's just a matter of point and click. Tell me a FPS game which has ever been real enough to simulate an actual sniper rifle, I am talking about bullet drop, windage and air pressure. Sure a Sniper is "cool" he looks cool in games like BF2 but in most FPS games all he does is just aim and shoot, run around and aim and shoot some more, there is no skill in it.
 
Thats what I wanted to say (one too many beers) I feel like a game is dominated by Snipers on CQB maps, "One Shot One kill" is what the moto is and although this is not the case on some games ie Battlefield 2 but on games like Counter-Strike Source, Day Of Defeat Source or Americas Army it is absolutely ridiculous to be using a Sniper rifle in a CQB map.
 
I played AA for 3 years until BF2 came along, Snipers in AA were good mainly because you could only have one or two on each side (it was also only on certain maps) but since they added pistols there was a lot of people just running around like idiots shooting with Pistols instead of using the Sniper rifle. I would love to see a game that simulated the role of a Sniper accurately.
