Have you ever been in a skirmish type game such as CTF or Assult and your teammates cost you the game cuz they were too busy worring about fighting over the sniper gun??!!
I have encountered this a lot and people need to stop worrying about sniping and worry a little more about killing the guy that just took the flag. Or think about the guy that is arming the bomb in your base!!!!
EXAMPLE: I am playing CTF on Ascension. The game starts and my team is on defense. My 3 teammates take off for the two sniper guns and leave me alone to defend the base. I watch my teammates start to betray eachother over the sniper guns. By that time the other team charges the base (with rocket launcher in tote) and I try my best to defend the flag. Obviously I am outnumbered. Before you know it the other team is more than half-way to the spot to score with our flag.
Now everyone knows that most of the time if you can get the flag half-way to the scoring spot your probably gonna score.
So needless to say the other team scored very easily.
Next round -Offense: My stupid team mates are so worried about going after the sniper guns that no one goes after the flag. Well we lost the game cuz everyone was too interested in sniping!!
Don't get me wrong I love to snipe just as much as the next person. But not so much that it costs my team the game!!! Yes, a lot of times you get on teams with really good snipers and it does help. But I can't count how many times snipers have made teams lose.
I remember playing assult on Headlong and while everyone was so worried about sniping no one was inside gaurding the base. Before I knew it the other team was scoring. I notice this happens a lot on terminal too.
If you can snipe really good and help us win they game That's Amesome!!!..... Just don't be so consumed with it that you forget the objective of the game!!!!
