I think you're underestimating what the fear of 100% CS will do to the prevalence of Snipers. They'll be firing less > less need to get a Sniper to counter-snipe. But we'll see.
I think you underestimate the power of the fog of war. Sneak up a sniper get that 100 percent shot and turn the game around. That certain 340mp trade I was talking about. Sure you could have some gamesense your opponent invested in something. But that could have been a teching up just aswell.
You paralyze him into fear on a possibility? That's a joke, that's even a bigger gamble the player needs to take than 50% chance insurance policy.
Recon Run spam new meta?
If you make a 100% countersnipe you need to make a 100% penetration, assured criticals, Mo more M8's dodging pak shots, Less arty scatter ... etc etc
And don't you start talking about dice rolls, because one is enough to decide the game. It's not only about sniper you know: that one bundled grenade whiping out that vet 3 rifle, that near instant arty without a warning immediately whiping out a squad. Dat howitzer shells bouncing off the low health KT ....
Anyways i'm really bored and tired with sniper discussions. Terribly bored.
