Class Suggestion: Sniper

[Medicguy2]

Statistics:
Speed - Moderate
Armor - Light

Primary Weapon:
Name: M24 Sniper Rifle
Damage: 30
Fire-type: Single Shot
Ammo: 40 (4 restock from Support unit)
Bullet-type: AP

Secondary Weapon:
Name: M9 Semi-automatic 9mm
Damage: 18
Fire-type: Semi-automatic, 4 second cooldown per shot.
Ammo: Infinite

Melee/Throwing:
Fragmentations: 2
Flashbangs: 3

Special: Press F for a long-range view. Must be above the main level with the M24 equipped to use this. Added sight is based on the floor your standing on. It consumes no Energy, however, a single M24 shot de-activates the sighting and you must wait 15 seconds before re-use.

(Wasn't sure on the format, so feel free to post suggestions, give criticism, etc. Inspired by my Lancing abilities in CTF, when i "Sniped" some players with the M72 Gauss Rifle and the secondary weapon.)

(Also, this is my first post here, but I like to play on PT more than I post.)

Just bring back the old sniper :P

What wolf said.

Btw, 4 second cooldown, that is extremely underpowered with damage less than even the assault's glock.

The Scout's M24 rifle did more damage and didn't have a 4 second cooldown.

I fail to see why we need this class. :|
It kicked arse back then, but the lancer is good enough to take care of the heavies.

If they dident use the sniper from beta. i doubt they will bring it back

a. its called a scout

but i totally agree. i dont even understand why they got rid of it? now they have this stupid lancer nonsense with a made up gun. Scout FTW. They should never have gotten rid of it to begin with. Even taking out the scope was lame besides how cheapo it was, they were on the right track, i think the scout should 1, come back, and 2, it should have an increased vision distance rather than the totally unfair scope. It should never have been removed in my opinion

That's what the large screen is for. >.>
Increased visionary distance that is yielded by the larger screen can be a big advantage, but it is also incredibly laggy.

yes but anyone can use that... duh
Im talking about seeing farther than that and as a class special. I think its a good idea and this whole "THE SCOUT IS DEAD AND NEVER COMING BACK" mindset is pissing me off. i want it back. Really bad
