DISCLAIMER: I just bought this game today, and i am very new to it.
with that said.....
I enjoy being a Sniper.
I'm not a griefing 'haha i pwnz you cause you can't hit me' guy though. I just enjoy being a sniper. In my last team-based FPS, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I was a Sniper 90% of the time. and I had a ball. it was challenging (especially since in RTCW you only had the sniper rifle, and that's IT. no worthwile secondary weapons.).
like I said, it was fun and challenging. no better satisfaction than taking out a turret gunner that is holding your teammates at bay, with a precise, perfectly aimed and lined up headshot, then watching your teammates take the opportunity to advance to the next obstacle. my favorite opponents to play against, were other Snipers. in RTCW, the Sniper game was a 'game-within-a-game'. while everyone else was storming the fort, or manning the machine guns...the snipers were on another wavelength, duking it out from long range with the opposing teams long range threat. going 1 on 1 with an opposing sniper in the middle of a base assault was the most fun i'd had in a while, though i beat some snipers, and some snipers beat me.
so now I move on to C&C Renegade. I figure out how to get my hands on a Sniper Rifle, and I head on out, to find me a nice perch. I get to my perch, set up, and get ready for some headshots.....and i see a MILLION tanks rumbling by shooting rockets. I feel absolutely useless. ![Sad](images/smiley_icons/icon_sad.gif)
it seems to me as if this game is more about 'who's got the bigger tank'. in RTCW a sniper, medic, etc. were important parts of the team, almost essential to success. yet i find from my limited play time in this game, that all you really need is a bunch of tanks.
so before I resign myself to join the Super-Tank army, or the ranks of those who ONLY play on 'Sniper Only' servers....i pose this question:
is there any room in this team-based game for a dedicated Sniper? I want to play on the normal, Team Servers, and be involved in massive battles, but i wish to do so as a Sniper, and i wish to have a purpose or ability to contribute to my team. from first impressions though, it doesn't look too good, and i'll be hopping in the tanks very soon, never to touch a sniper rifle again.
