I noticed that there are 2 snipers. One seems to be a standard soldier and the other one is either Havoc or the girl. I also noticed they both hold 1 timed c4 and handgun, so no real advantage.
Is there really any advantage to being Havoc?

The 500 credit snipers: Deadeye\Black Hand: Regular sniper rifle. Extreme range, strong damage, 200 life. Havoc\Sakura: Ramjet sniper rifle. Extreme range, extreme damage, 250 life.

ever notice that while your Havoc/Sakura, when you shoot a tank it takes away a whole square of life? while as the dead eye, it hardly does damage (if any) at all. To answerr the question, i use Havoc. A normal soldier I think has 100 health. [ February 19, 2002: Message edited by: UltraMoron ]

Havoc/Sakura will kill almost anyone with one shot. the only charachters they will not kill in one shot is the "boss" level charachters. ie: Havoc, Powersuit Sidney, Mobieus for GDI, and Sakura, Raveshaw, Mendoza for NOD. also, the Havoc/Sakura weapon does negligable damage to heavy vehicles and buildings.

I prefer to use the cheaper one personally, cause I always make a stupid mistake like get run over by a buggy when returning to base to reload

Sakura and Havoc can also do a lot of damage to lightly armoured vehicles. I've taken out lightly armoured vehicles in 6 shots and followed up by killing the pilot as he spawned where the vehicle once was. [ February 20, 2002: Message edited by: eg ]

head shots are nice, but with a 1k sniper you can hit the leg of most people and still 1 hit them. It is very hard to get a head shot on a person who is constantly moving at random angles. Also the 1k snipers are great for destroying Jeeps, Missile Launchers, and Artillery.

The cheaper snipers don't fire tracers though. The Havocs and Sakura's shots can be seen and lead back to them.
Personally I go with a Stealth Black hand with a sniper rifle. They don't see you coming just walk up behind them and fire.

they are like the awp against non-$1000 units, but it doesnt matter in this game because if you want to kill one, just get a tank or be a sniper yourself. No one person can dominate a map like in counter-strike, so the powerful snipers are welcome here

"also, the Havoc/Sakura weapon does negligable damage to heavy vehicles and buildings" I dunno what version of the game you are playing, but as of the demo, vehicles armor has been seperated into 2 different types. Against buggy/humvee and artillary/mrls the ramjet does pretty good damage taking off a square or two of health BUT against the heavier armored vehicles (all the rest) it barely scratches them. I think their might be differences in the balancing of the demo and beta because these things you people say just don't make sense...

I use deadeye/black hand sniper. Because they cost less and if you are killed they person on got ya doesnt get that many points. ANother thing is even though the ramjet rifle can do damage to tanks it takes a FREAKIN LONG TIME TO DO!!!! 1 square per shot isnt worth it cause the gun holds only 4 rounds per clip and it has only 22-30 (not sure exact # but in that range) So i'd rather have the mindset of killing jsut infantry because its quicker your kill more of them and will greatly benifit your team because a team without infatry that has tnaks will lose to a team with infantry and tanks.

If you can move after every shot you have a very good chance of not being spotted and killed. That is what Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox) told his men to do when they fought the Red Coats.
