Why are snipers useful in FPS but rather useless in RTS?
They have nowhere to hide in rts
>>736756803Do snipers still exist in IRL life?
>>736756803You're playing the wrong RTS games.
>>736757162no, snipers are useless for anything with drones existing.
>>736757204why not strap a sniper rifle on a drone
>>736756803Was this game ever finished? It had good music.
>>736757460Sadly not. One of my favorite flash games, short but fun and cute.
>FPS sniper>can oneshot anyone from basically any distance as long as there's nothing obstructing line of sight>can easily stay hidden if you know what you're doing>opportunity cost: you didn't equip an assault rifle or shotgun instead >RTS sniper>can only oneshot infantry units, and sometimes not even oneshot>range is at best twice as long as that of a standard infantry unit>as soon as they take a shot you know where they are; at best they have some sort of invisibility mechanic that is easily countered with detectors>opportunity cost: you didn't build a tank instead
>>736757337Because 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.
>>736756803Gee 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.
