| − | Getting in close to attack a Sniper is often difficult, especially when he's targeting you. The best class to kill a Sniper with is another Sniper. Switching to Sniper solely to counter an enemy Sniper may deprive your team of a useful teammate, however, and can lead to infamous "Sniper wars", where Snipers dedicate all their time to taking pot-shots at one another. | + | * Getting in close to attack a Sniper is often difficult, especially when he's targeting you.

| − | The best class aside from Sniper to act as a counter is [[Class:Medic|Medic]]. He is fast, and so more difficult to hit and able to close distance more quickly. His Super Shotgun can tear through the Sniper's weak armor, his Concussion Grenades are very effective against a class that relies on exact aim, and his Infection can prove very annoying. However against a skilled Sniper a Medic may struggle to get close, and often a Medic's time can be better spent working towards capturing the flag. | + | * The best class aside from Sniper to act as a counter is [[Class:Medic|Medic]].

| − | Snipers are often surprisingly effective at defending themselves at close range, as their Sniper Rifle does as much damage as it does at a distance, and they do not have tunnel vision while charging. Their Auto Rifle can deal out a respectable amount of damage, and their Frag Grenades are as deadly as those of any class. | + | * Snipers are often surprisingly effective at defending themselves at close range, as their Sniper Rifle does as much damage as it does at a distance, and they do not have tunnel vision while charging.

| − | As on many maps the Sniper deck is close to the spawn room, killing a Sniper may be of questionable value, as he will be back in a matter of seconds. Sustained distraction may prove more effective. | + | * As on many maps the Sniper deck is close to the spawn room, killing a Sniper may be of questionable value, as he will be back in a matter of seconds.

| − | Regardless of what class you are playing, if you spot a Sniper, make sure to immediately alert your team to their location. If the Sniper manages to take you out, at least the next guy coming along knows where he is and can take a crack at it. | + | * Regardless of what class you are playing, if you spot a Sniper, make sure to immediately alert your team to their location.
