For those haters out there that continue to say that there are too many snipers I say you should come to Warpath. We had an incredible run, which i'm sad to say i did not get to finish it, that pretty much led to our team being able to push to the last point. Myself, Hoostrax, Thatguy, and Gunslinger barely let anyone attack us because we were too quick......

This just means that there are never too many snipers, lay off the haterade

The problem is, most snipers aren't very good.

And if they don't practice by playing sniper, they won't BE any good.

i have total respect for the snipers. i think i have cursed ALL of the above mentioned snipers while in-game (in a friendly way of course....). to be good, practice is necessary. and as much of a pain in the rear end snipers can be, they truly can make a difference on a map like warpath!
 
Ah that was a fun round. 3 medics and 4 snipers all sitting outside of the front archway. The funny part was that there were like 5 engineers on the other team and they could never keep a sentry gun up, because all 4 of us would shoot it at like the same time.

I think at one point all 4 of us got a total of about 10 kills within 7 or 8 seconds and we used that to push the last point and win. Always fun when you have a group of snipers standing together that are good enough to crank out headshots :P

You'll be happy to know that we won that round not long after you had to go. Lol Karma managed to get up to the point as a demo while the rest of us, including the snipers, were causing the distraction :). The medics and engies deserve a props too - I kept getting hit by grenade spam every time I walked around the corner to take my shots - would have been respawning quite a bit if it weren't for medics.
 
The more snipers the better, especially if they form a nice little line for me to stab through ;)

You don't get better by killing people with less skill than yourself. I know there's a couple snipers that make me shudder when I see them on the other team, because dollars to donuts (who came up with THAT one?) says I'll be getting headshot shortly. Now, that makes me play differently than normal and it's harder for me...which in turn should ultimately make me a better player.
 
Wish I had the presence of mind to take more than one screenshot - only one I have:



That's GunSlinger directly in front of me, lillGIL to the left of him I think (he's about to get crit-rocketed...), and ThatGuy somewhere behind me I think, calling for a medic. It's a little hard to see, but between GunSlinger and lillGIL is a fifth [dead] sniper (a pub that got killed by JEBUS, as you can see). And there's also Kath Woman, tearing it up as the lone Heavy :D.
 
I just like to see snipers burn ^^...seriously that was a fun round. Most of us went engie but eventually you guys broke through. Good Job!
 
pretty sure crit rockets don't effect gil......

best part about that was we all had mics and were just running our mouths about how awesome it was
 
Dang. lilgil, Hoostrax, and Thatguy on the same team on warpath? For sure a win... :)
 
On Warpath, I can understand a few snipers at certain stages, as well as on Convoy. But sometimes, there's absolutely no way a sniper can be effective. Sometimes the battle area is too small, or has too many tight corners, or there's too much going on for a sniper to survive the seconds it takes even a good sniper to line up (and charge) a shot. The biggest problem is when there just aren't enough enemies (or snipable ones) running around to make it worth while, like a 4v4 battle on 2fort, someone will go sniper and stand uselessly on the battlements.

However, I've seen a few good snipers make a difference, especially on Warpath and on defense in the first cap on any Dustbowl stage. When backed into a corner on Warpath, at the last cap point, a good sniper can make a huge difference. I've went sniper there on defense and gotten 100+ points just in my time at that cap, about 20 per life (interrupted by the occasional spy that couldn't resist). So yes, there aren't always too many snipers.

Still, it'd help if they went Medic or Engie sometimes. Especially the bad ones that won't improve. ;P
 
I was on the defense there... and I am glad to inform all you stinking snipers that can rot in thier graves that my sentry was never destroyed that whole game and the only reason you guys won is a demoman stciky jumped past my sentry and on to point.

more than 1 sniper is too many.

hmm, it kinda depends on the map. but to me having just one sniper isn't enough. maybe just one heavy instead and having atleast 2 snipers
