How can you possibly say that the shotgun is for pussies? If anything, the sniper is for pussies, cause you can just find a spot to camp and be a sniper-pussy spawn killer. A real man moves around in a map and doesn't play hide and seek. Grab a shotgun and expose yourself to enemy fire--and take them down!
Or-- hide like a coward with a sniper rifle and pick off players as they spawn.
The choice is yours.
Better yet-- grab the bolt-action rifle (no scope!) and see how you fare.
Too many players these days are padding their kills with spawn-kiling and think they're good.
Come out and fight like a man!
And stop the damn no-rocket mods! It floors me that nobody wants rockets in their server, but will allow all the pussies to grab their snipers! It's so easy to pick off a rocket user because of the reload time, I don't know why a lot of servers don't let them in. It's use at your own risk-- yet everyone hates them.
I'll take a strategic firefight over a spawn killing anyday. Real men use shotguns!

I must agree that spawn sniping is a pathetic, cowardly act! People who do that know that they arent good enough to go head to head. Sniping, though, seems to take skill. A lot of them can pick off a moving target. Pretty good, I'd say. All you have to do is find them, then you can kill them. Sometimes difficult, but a great challenge. Rockets, though, take very little skill. You only have to come close to take someone out. With rifles and smgs you actually have to hit your target. Yes, come out and fight like a man, and that means going head to head on equal terms. I do not believe Rockets are equal. I think they are an unfair advantage.
