Going with the big no on that one. Does anyone really want sniper duals again? Every game? IMHO sniper/countersniping of COH1 was least fun and one of the most frustrating aspect of the game. I am happy that it is absent and hope we never see it in COH2.
There are no sniper duels since we don't have the ridiculous cloaks that allowed them to hide in the open and the fact getting an Ost sniper vs t1 is a big no-no not just due to the Soviet sniper, but also the scout car. Also due to the fact most infantry can actually kill the sniper at range.
