Sniper servers suck.
. . .Well, okay, there's more to it than just that. . .
Think about it. What's the point? Unless you're planning a career as a legitimate sniper for the SWAT team or something, it's all utter trype. Even then, it's still just like one of those "bigger dick" things. Like with most online first-person shooters, if you can shoot straight and hit your target with a constant accuracy, you're hot-fucking-shit!
This. . .to me. . .is fucking weak. Don't get me wrong, it still takes accuracy to make a hit happen, sure. But c'mon! In Renegade?! For the most part, you could be moving, jumping, running, dodging, ducking, jumping more, and still manage to land a headshot due to the way the physics engine is set up. . .just so long as your reticle is read and that dot is smack dab on someone's head.(And don't even get me started about those mother-fucking corner kills and lag kills.) There is absolutely no reduction to base accuracy no matter how much you're moving. With any weapon. It's all the more irritating, however, when some jackass with a Ramjet crams it down your fucking throat at 100 paces without even trying! It's one thing to be sitting up there on a hill, scope zoomed in, and nailing a moving target. . . But to nail a moving target at that distances while you yourself are moving? What. . .the. . .fuck?! Grah. . .
Well, I'm done. Let the flames waft in the winds that are sure to follow.

Regardless of how the engine handles things, and all the other junk you're complaining about, sniper servers still offer people a chance to do what they want, and that's sniping. You still receive a score, a team can still win the game, and despite the physics, it still takes skill to beat another sniper; lag just adds a new challenge to overcome (or get lucky by).
I do agree, however, that the "dancing" that occurs in sniping servers should stop. Hence why I never enter the tunnels in such a game. That isn't sniping, that's just normal infantry warfare using single shot rifles.
Besides, it's always amusing to get a "cheating" accusation.

Sniper servers are great, and I don't like sniping.
The only thing I don't like about it is when snipers think they're the elite of renegade even though sniping is the only thing they know how to do... they just don't realise sniping is 5% of renegade and you aren't a renegade god if you suck at the other 95%.
Now, me. I suck at 65%, so I'm a little higher on the ladder.

Indd: sniping is funny every month a couple of games but AOW >>>> sniping. I just dislike people that do nothing else than snipe in a public AOW-server and they have the "big dick"-thing... I mean, come on...
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

A sniper is good to have in AOW. But when there are several players who refuse to do anything but, and will use their rifles to a fault (n00bjetting a TANK, for example) and do very little other than pad their own score...that I have a problem with. Especially when the other team decides to do the same, and all infantry combat in the server is reduced to the snipers and the guys running around the base (if even that)- and that's no fun at all.
I could care less about sniper servers. they exist to let snipers have fun; let them. They aren't harming you.

but when i play sniper i dont use n00bjets cause they basicly give points away. they move slower and shoot at a slower rate. 500 rox.
