I used the sniper in every version since .93 . As you know so I favor the weapon itself for it's artsy ability to insta-kill anyone. But even having that it's nearly impossible to get that hit even 50% of the time. Also, in this version a skilled sniper go against a skilled ar, if the sniper misses the first shot he's basicly dead. There's almost no way to come back from that unless the ar seriously messes up. With the helmets around the map it's also much easier to get 50 shield quickly, and anyone with 50 shield can take quite a bit of punishment from a sniper bullet and 4 pistol shots. As of now, I would have to agree with the option to make sniper 1 shot with 1 pistol, and if the enemy has armor, 2 pistol shots.
