Multiplayer shooter game

It sure is fun getting killed by someone 6km away, why do devs keep adding fucking snipers?

>multiplayer shooter game
>is not quake 3 or unreal tournament

I'll pass

>what is level design

if you don't put yourself in a sniper's sight, you won't get sniped. Besides snipers have pros and cons like everyone else.

So that you can't just bumblefuck your way across a long hallway with no sense of fear or urgency.
The one game that did Snipers right was BFBC2; you couldn't go prone and you had to adjust your shots for long range bullet-drop.

But then literally everyone played Sniper and it was still shit.

Because there are certain people who only play snipers and will become a very loud and vocal minority if their favorite new game doesn't have long range scoped firearms as tools.

I like slug type shotguns in my shooters.

Yeah, snipers are the FPS killers. Fuck any game that includes them desu

Don't get shot, then.

learn to spot them in the distance and snipe with rockets

shit like AWP & Scar H isnt supporting active gaming it supports sitting in the corner until somebody wants to see to the other side for a second which is when you score. And next round they are even more passive.
CSGO is fucking garbage compared to Battlefield, Quake 3, UT 2004 or CoD which at least have speed & momentum instead of being wait and click sims
The two minute timer doesnt make cs fast paced.

>Sniper class
>tfw you just use it like a shotgun and shit on people in close range
Being a shotgun sniper is too much fun for me to care about people crying because they can't git gud.

Just add smoke grenades to the game.

DUDE LMAO

BC2 truly had the best snipers
Other classes also had super-accurate shots, so you could easily bling one over the map

>multiplayer shooter game with sniper rifles
>no mil dots or bullet drop
>no rangefinding

People who complain about this and campers don't see the full picture. The game isn't unfair, you just let your guard down.

Because you have to earn them by picking them up off the map. Like any other FPS worth playing ever.

Not really. The only con is if you're hardscoping and can't see someone sneaking up on you. Otherwise snipers are useful at literally every range.

Go use a sniper and shut the fuck up.

It's not easy.

Im not saying its easy. But a sniper will one shot from practically any range. It doesn't take skill to no scope someone at point blank range and get lucky.

>level design
Making maps that are balanced for snipers means making them shitty for everyone else
>Clutter and chokes fucking everywhere

Snipers are pure cancer in any game that isn't full milsim

>game has smoke grenades
>game also has IRNV scopes which everyone uses so smokes are fucking useless

BRAVO BATTLEFIELD

>what is level design

I think most game devs ask this question everyday.

sniper is the high-reward low-risk class. The only counter is other snipers.
