Since the Anti Sniper Petition is already 5 pages long, I think I have zero chance to be read there. So I'll just try here. For those who agree with my opinion, just say so. For those that disagree...please give me arguments for counter, not insults.

Okay, to the point:

As I understand it, every Beach map every made, for any MP game is plaqued by snipers.
I guess for some games you could say this for all maps, but in this WW2 stuff, it is generally anoying about every map that tries to recreate D-Day.

D-Day...that is all about storming up a Beach with MG Fire pounding the sand next to you...hearing bullets riochet from the Hedgehogs, while you try to bury yourself in the sand in the seek for cover. It is about beeing afraid as an allies player...being so very afraid that you dont even want to stand up and sprint to the next cover.

Now, if there's an overuse of snipers, hiden somewhere in the water, or on other ungodly places you will NOT see this happen. Because MG Gunners will die the instant they touch their guns.

Of course Axis can counter snipe...but that isn't the point. That takes away from the "run and dive for cover" fun you expect from a D-Day Map.

Some will say now" the real ppl at D-Day couldn't vote snipers out...stop bitching".

For those that argument along this lines, some facts:

1) Snipers wheren't widely used in WW2, except for the russian army.

2)Sniping with a real rifle needs a lot more theory and knowledge than MoH brings across. All it needs in MoH is to move a crosshair over a head and click the mouse. In real life you wouldn't have such an easy time picking off those gunners.

3)Personal accounts from allied Soliders who survived D-Day all agree on one point...it felt VERY pointless to fire at those bunkers from the beach. One guy descriped them as "mammothish". Like fighting a Jurrasic Monster. NHard to see anyone in them. No point in staying at the beach and trying to shoot someone. Did that every happen in the SPR movie (which is one of the most realistic recreations of D-Day I think).

So, in conculsion, to allow for more funny and realistic game play, this game really needs a sniper limit. Everthing else turns one of the most horrific battles ever fought into a frag fest for your home computer.

Sidenote: As far as I know, DoD Beta 2 will have NO axis and only ONE allies sniper at the new Beach Maps. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

PS: If you have arguments against this opinion, just reply. If you will call me a moron and ask me to "counter them" I'll ignore your post, for reasons outlined above.

Thanxs
