that was the original design back in the beta days. we decided they're better as one rifle rather than two. it's a net loss if they're separate.


if we can possibly help it, we'd like to keep...

notice how the arguments gwarsbane lists all involve avoidance. thats not what we're after here. the problem is you cannot actively interact with the sniper, you're running around like an ant under a...

Spliffalot: i'm not accusing anyone of cheating here. i genuinely do think there is a high level of skill in play here. the game certainly allows for it, and it currently thrives like thrush in a...

but there comes a point where the skill ceiling is so high, the skill floor raises with it. keeping the skill floor down is no easy feat. we need to keep FF accessible to new players.

i think squeek's above definition is as close to what we have as we've got so far. i still believe that sniping in FF is a niche mechanic, and so probably best saved for the gamestyles where it fits...

a medic coming up against a soldier in the spiral has a fair chance of winning. use of grenades levels the playing field to some degree, and gives a lighter class some chance of tackling heavier...
