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

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. Sad

A sniper may not seem important at first because you cant do shit to tanks..i know when i first started i was all about get in a tank and blow shit up because i was like you and said i cant do shit with all the tanks around me. But once you practice switch around characters and get really good at snipen like me(yes i am very cocky and confident in my self LOL) you will relize you can do just as much as them by taken out engis enemy snipers taekn out ur engies and blow the shit out of any buggy humvee or plane. LOL and The ranks of the SNIPER ONLY server people are higher in my opinion it takes way more skill to snipe then to set in a tank and shoot at a building. So play get good and find your groove. Very Happy
