    From my experience, the issue is that those who can cap, snipe.

When you nail the flag runner RIGHT before they reach the cap point, and some Sniper grabs the flag and caps it before they can charge another shot.

Annoying as FUCK, that is!

    I feel like you skipped the day in elementary school when they taught about the use of commas.

“Let’s eat, Grandma,” versus “Let’s eat Grandma.”

    You gotta admit the server would be way more balanced if people went offense as religiously as X.

Sniper is the faggiest class.

    What about a sniper playing o?

Mexican Sniper has capped tons of flags.

    He's got 588 Sniper Caps. 90% of them from flag runner dropping it on the deck. I hardly call that prolific Sniper on O.

lol

you realize sniping is a defensive class right? not to sound cocky, but if you put any combination of me, upset, 187, statix, general yeargan, a few others, on the same team as snipers, your team is going to have a really shitty time even entering the base, let alone making it into the basement, right?

you've got some animosity toward snipers for some reason - and your gross generalization of "snipers can't cap" is misled. majority of us have played this game for too long to know when the effort is just not worth it during a spam heavy 13v13 game at drippys

it's not that i can't cap

it's just that i don't feel like putting the work in

and i'm also preventing the other team from capping

2 streets to every road -X-, try not to be so butthurt

Not gonna lie, when I know the enemy flag is about to be capped, and I die/respawn, I wait a second to see if the carrier gets killed so I can grab that flag. If you don't like that, I got two words for ya....

He may not say much here (or in game) but when he posts/ says something...187's posts are funny.

Thank you for proving my point. I always see people going hell bent for the flag then they give up and go sniper. Those who can't cap, snipe.

The most difficult in game role is offense. You have to navigate the whole map get to the basement and deal with the, snipers, demos, sentrys, sollies engis HWs get the flag out and go to cap. Sitting in one place shooting, heck even KILMOV can do that!

    but your words are wrong

it's not that we cannot cap

it's that we choose not to cap

"willn't" cap would suffice more

Your words above. I'll translate it into English since you speak Mexican.

Mexican Sniper said: It's not worth trying cos I can't cap when its 13v13 homie.

Me and NOOKIE only 2 people on O and it was something like 15v11 I think heavily weighted against us and we still managed to get flag out and up the spiral before everyone else got involved and we got the cap in the end. Those are the games worth winning not a fucking 4v4 to up the cap counts.

Changing to sniper after vigorously going O for most of the game is the equivalent of ragequitting.

And FYI I have been playing this game for 24 years on and off, mostly off.
