Depends on the map, but...
I play by that rule in CTF, only because I know that if others don't, I usually only fail the first offensive manuver. Not to mention you have better eyes defensively if you don't camp too heavily.

Agreed. I just hate the term camping when it applies to CTF because, truthfully, if that was a strategy that you wanted to employ it should be perfectly fine. It has such a negative meaning to some.
But like you, I prefer to move around because you can NEVER get a feel for the flow of the game by sitting in one spot. You can rarely see all the entrances, and even if you can, you most likely won't see the attacker until he/she has entered the flag room.
I like to be able to track an attackers movement from a ways off. That gives me an advantage that I dearly need.

re : covering multiple entrances ...
*eh* but isn't that what teammates are for ?
Or is this just the result of the fact that no one ever bothers to defend the flag/goal in on-line 'public' games ?
As for the 'grid' in the LtG-zoom : I find it more useful as it makes it easier to ignore anything that isn't a target ...
I guess it's also because I'm kind of used to zoom-effects that are mere circles. Like the sniperrifles in TTR and the ACOG-addon in Infiltration 2.86.
As for the 'return' of the sniperrifle : I hope it can fill a niche like the LtG does. And I really really hope it'll prove to be next to useless as anything other then a 'true' sniperrifle.

Yeah, they could at least have made it along the lines of the U2 rifle; that one looks like a super-high-tech sniper gun of the future. The one in the screens there looks like a 'nowadays' sniper rifle
Something to think about:
Unreal tournament 1 is set in the 24th century, yet the sniper gun really doesn't look that futuristic, hm?

Yeah but none of the other weapons did either. UT2003 is set after UT and the weapons have a more futuristic feel.....futuristic isn't the right word- I mean they have a more 'manufactured' for the Tournament look about them, unlike UT where the weapons looked like ex-army stock that had been commisioned for use in the Tournament. And that new sniper rifle really looks out of place already, even before seeing it with the other weapons.
But then......a couple of the other weapons have been changed as well, like the Shock, and that looks more army-esque as well. Guess they're trying to take it back to the UT feel again, rather than the sporty theme we've currently got. Especially when you look at the soldier guys and gals we've seen pics of.
Wish Epic would make up their mind.

Ok...so...the fact that a weapon looks futuristic or anything like that is completely beside the fact. It's about gameplay! Nothing else matters.
They're only going to have this thing in the assault maps if I understand correctly. As long as they keep it out of the gametypes I want to play (CTF) then I'm happy.

Nah, normally it was me doing the traumatising But adding it when we've all got used to the LTG would be a disaster.
