Swift Viper said:First off, if so many people like the Lightning Gun, then why will nearly every server run the sniper rifle mutator ? I don't see this much aguring going on over IG servers to the players who like it, but why so much over the Sniper Rifle? Is it really a good idea to put it in the game in the new gamemodes normally?
Sniper Rifle mutator for UT2k3: If Fuzz (sp?) is being used, there should be a option to set the rate of fire. It is up to the admin to make the rifle fast or slow. If the servers that you (most of the posters) had the sniper rifle fired slower, then would all this complanting about it be going on? People are complanting about people complanting about people complanting and on and on....
One more important fact, the game (or demo) is not even out yet, we don't even know what the gameplay will be like. Can't we wait till we actually PLAY the game before getting into this kind of discussion?
Swift Viper said:Can't we wait till the demo/game comes out before we start judging (spelling?) the weapon? For one, if SO MANY poeple hated the rate of fire on the sniper rifle, why not take five minutes to make a muator to low it's rate of fire? Why not make a mutator, be done with it and stop complanting (spelling?) about it? If you don't like the Sniper Rifle being in AS and ONS normally, why not bug Epic till they make it a mutator only and put the Lightning Gun in those gamemodes normally? Another thing, everyone is talking about the UT Sniper Rifle, this is the UT2003/2004 fourms, why is everyone bashing a UT weapon here? The new sniper rifle won't be the same, why does everyone think it will be the same? Even for the few people that actually played UT2k4 already, it could change in the final game. Do people complant about sniper rifles in every single other game that has one?

ChainsawMonkey said:We like the LTG because it takes skill to use and isn't the all-consuming superspam weapon the SR was in UT. A lot of server admins most likely fall into the 'Oooh, SPAM' category and will add the mutator either because they want spam or because they'll be pressured into adding it from other people who want spam.
Swift Viper said:Is anyone going to reply to my posts at all? Out of all the posts after mine, I was hoping to get at least one reply, but everyone is still going at each other. Please don't flame me, I just want to know what people think on what I said about this discussion.

it isn't. You can even control the randomness of the directions it shoots.PainAmplifier said:Damn! Someone DID do a mutator like that!
I'll have to check it out better when I have more time later. Still from the screenies it looks like the 'launcher' is totally static...so I still have something to complain about.
PainAmplifier said:If there ever was an all-consuming superspam weapon in UT, I'd have to say it would be the Shock Rifle, not the Sniper Rifle. I never see good UT players spam/overuse the Sniper....but put a Shock in there and watch the combo's fly. Sure it takes a bit of 'skill' to pull all the l337 ninja combo's off, but how is that any different than getting headshots with the sniper rifle?

TWD said:Obviously you never played against rev in ut1. It was flat out sick.
$MP$-AEnubis said:The only weapon spammed more than the Sniper Rifle in UT was the minigun. Combos were mostly for suppression in competative games, but hard to really spam them when you are only capable of so many on a full stock.
Get in close with somone who has a sniper rifle and watch the spam fly. If they take more then 3 distance shots without a hit, that is spammy too. Hard to do that with the ASMD. I even saw in some WCG demos, top players shooting snipe at where people might be, which is as spammy as it gets. Snipe being instant hitscan shouldn't be fired unless a target is spotted. A low rate of fire will help enforce that.
