Yes I first thought elimination and creation (new class) was the way to go, but it has become increasingly clear that there are far too many opinions about this class to just simply remove it.

Especially since other aspects of gameplay are not yet "perfected", and we will already see changes in the future. Hence I believe a conservative approach would be best.

Make it so that the sniper is automatically disabled on some maps (well, aardvark), up to the server on some maps (some CTF maps), and automatically allowed on AvD.

Would the snipers out there be okay with this?

ps. I still think this class could do well with at least some longrange-nerfing along with closeup-buffing (more skill in actually getting those longrange-shots, and less need to run hide as soon as the enemy approaches). But all in good time I suppose.
