Any body find the sniper near useful in multiplayer? I'd get a rocket in my
face or a bullet in my head before the thing finishes its unload animation.
Even if I did go into sniper mode, I'm dead already from standing still.

If you use the invul power up with the snipe gun you can't be touched ! There is
one on the city level you have to find the secret door. :)

It's true what you say about the sniper rifle. It's slow to use, and once
you've got it out, it's slow to reload and in general just limpy. ugh
that sounded bad

the better thing to do with the sniperscope is to zoom in with a better weapon,
like the assault rifle. single shots aren't as powerful as the sniper rifle,
but it's just as accurate

I've got to disagree with the statement about SiN's maps. sincity seems pretty
awesome for surprise attacks such as sniping, or just simply springing up on
the other person with full guns blazing when they don't exactly know where you
are. it's pretty easy to kill someone from afar using the technique described
above. I've killed many people with me standing in the open street, and the
other person presumably trying to snipe me that way. if they're just using the
sniper rifle, they've only got one shot every few seconds, and I'm moving all
over the place on the street shooting accurate shots with my assault rifle.
misses don't matter as much since I've got so many more shots.

Also, if you know enough about the map, where to jump, etc. you can cross the
city block in seconds to blow the other guy's brains out. Lightning speed
combined with a good knowledge of your weapons make this game really fun to
play.

: The maps with the Sin demo aren't really a good setting for snipers -
: Sincity is too small to stay still in any one place for long (unless

Someone else posted this, but you can also do a

bind x 'togglezoommode'

where x is the key you want zoom to be, you can then zoom with any gun, this
is useful with the pistol (and assault gun), as you can get off two quick
headshots and kill most players that are unarmored and normal health.

The sniper rifle has a lot of uses in sincity, but almost none in sindm6.
Still, even in sincity, if you sit somewhere long enough, you will kill
someone, but then they will respawn and come hunt you down with a shottie or
an assault gun. It is a hell of a lot of fun though to unsuspectingly take
down a rocket launcher guy who is standing on a ledge pounding away at
chumps on the streets below. It is my favorite gun.
