Didnt one of the interviews say the necris loose the rocket launcher over the grapple and hoverboards. hmm! Maybe this is only refering to a fortress style gamemode.
I dunno guys the way I see it a game shouldnt be about balancing the weapons as it doesnt matter how balanced you make it there are people who can only play a certain style. Im kinda an all rounder okay at all classes but a master of none, which is perfect for dm but different gamemodes require different strategies.
I like the lightning gun, I like the sniper, put them in one big map, take them both out, dont put them in small maps. Making them a projectile weapons is a good option to remove the problem with unfair camping. I like a bit of camping but when someone stays in a position for more than 5 mins its kinda unfair, Ive seen people play bf2 and they'll sit ontop of a hill most of the time and just play one handed. They may see this as fun, I really dont see the point maybe if your no good at other classes then this is the way to go but still a game should be about fairplay above all.
Gamemode is the biggest issue here I think, snipers are less effective in dm matches with more than 2 players because a player gets gunned down infront of you, you more than likely know where the shot came from. Snipers make a great contribution to team games but its too noob friendly, there needs to be more level of skill involved with snipers as its soo thin atm. Like wind, traversing large distances, breathing, leading etc there is alot of depth to that class that just gets over looked there is a reason why all infantry arnt snipers hey.
Now I could go on alot more here but I'll leave it at that, as long as a team doesnt get sniper rifles and grappling hooks Im happy. I trust epic to bring us a good game
P.S - One last thing I forgot to mention, sound radius.... Sniper rifles would be very loud I imagine.
