Eh, that generally only works if your Ping isn't over, say. . . 150. I find that Snipers seem to have a tremendously easy time picking me off, no matter where I am(out in the open), if I'm lagging like Hell. Some of the shots I've taken are unbelievable and probably unreplicatable under normal circumstances. And then there's that irritating semi-exploit where Snipers can shoot around corners. Like. . . Through solid walls, even. Or at least that's what it always seems like. I know Snipers have an easy time getting me in the tunnels, or even near the wide base entrances on Field. . .

| That doesn't quite work in Hourglass or maps where there aren't multiple routes to sniper camp sites. In Field, there's lots of oppurtunity to counter snipers. And Walls. Even Under, to a degree.(But really, how many people actually actively snipe on Under? There's a hill and a cliffside, and that's it. Everything else is base defense.) But Hourglass and a few other maps? You just can't "sneak up" on them.

If he returns, repeat the procedure.
That way, one rids himself of snipers in a typical renegame.

I can't believe you're such an asshat that you'd even think of that, cyberp-- I mean, flyingfox.
The best way to deal with snipers is to use your own, get an APC, or be sneaky with shotgunners if that's all you've got.
