thanks mrblip, i think that would be great and put an end to this controversy

jermm i agree that snipers are a valuable part of the game. the problem is most people don't play it that way, they play it to chill out and rack up kills and TOTALLY ignore the objective.

Sound off if you like to play for points.

AND...
gas_kaboom, Bedrooms, rooftime_alpha, sf_tatical, sf_fieldtrip: cap of 2 snipers both teams
Blackmesa: 1 sniper
Any Payload map: 2 snipers
Any valve or valve sanctioned map: no limit
All new maps start with 2 snipers
All others existing maps: 3 snipers

There you go.

I say this b/c a lot of people would love to play sniper, 1 sounds "good" then there shouldn't be a spy too, b/c there is only 1 sniper. If you can't get passed one sniper, then get better.... not bragging but i am, I know its hard to get passed me but there are very great spies out there.

bedrooms is waaaaaaaaay too sniper friendly to have 2 snipers. fieldtrip and uh whatever that other big map was having two snipers is pushing it. but for the love of god bedrooms is a terribly large map and most of the fun is in the houses instead of the outside, so snipers just make the whole thing shit
most maps don't need sniper limits because the map sucks for sniping (which is awesome) but then again on those maps you shouldn't be sniping at all because you're not helping at all
so uh i dunno

yeah um, don't base most the crap on your experiences as a sniper or from other bad snipers.

Pay the fuck attention to others, the smart ones move the fuck in (that's maybe 3-5 that play on the server including myself).

I'm pissed off from other things not just this, so that's why "fuck" is in here.

If none of you think snipers help at all then tell game developers and people in real life to completely remove the "Sniper."

in wacky races, the goal is basically just to keep your driver alive while hitting the enemy tires and engine. snipers don't detract from those goals so if anything wacky races should have unlimited snipers.
