Why are snipers useful in FPS but rather useless in RTS?

They have nowhere to hide in rts

You're playing the wrong RTS games.

>>736757162
no, snipers are useless for anything with drones existing.
>>
>>736757204
why not strap a sniper rifle on a drone

Was this game ever finished? It had good music.

Sadly not. One of my favorite flash games, short but fun and cute.

Because sniping requires VERY precise steady aim, where slightest mistake makes the difference between blowing man's head off or just theatrically clipping his ear.
Drones are nowhere near that accurate, they are more like smart grenades where landing few yards off target is still good enough to kill.

Gee why are snipers, a person made to fuck one guy up in particular, bad in a genre where there's 200 units on screen. Sure is a fucking wonder OP.
