OK, so now you can restrict snipers on Omaha. . . - Page 2

Stony, I do thta too, I am an incredible lethal sniper for the axis, and I know where all those idiots snipe from. However, that is not the point. I like NOT having to snipe them ALL the time, and man the guns. Face it, without the anti-sniper mod, there is no way you can seriously have a game where you get to man the mg42's with some sense of safety.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

That's why I much prefer the OSM servers, but if they're all full and I'm in the mood to play on a regular Omaha server then I'll play to discourage Allied sniping by sniping them myself.

well someone suggested allies with snipers but not axis, which is the total opposite of my idea - allied snipers make the mg42s worthless.

someone suggested moving all spawns up to the shingle, which then makes it something OTHER than Omaha Beach where you had to storm from the boats. I agree it is wrong that you are seemingly penalized for making it all the way to the top and then killed because you have spawn at the boats.

I think you have to get INSIDE the bunker to spawn at the shingle. Anything less is a boat spawn.

I love the idea of limting weapons rather than banning them. But it seems unrealistic, as it would require a very compicated system to figure out who gets to be the sniper when 10 people want it but there is only one or two slots available.

Bottom line: the people who have played the Omaha server that has no snipers LOVED it.

I am not saying all Omahas should be that way. Just wish others would give it a try.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

What they could do is develop a counter where when someone chooses to be a sniper, it counts him as sniper and then no one else can be one until more people join the game and that team.

They should make it so that the Allies get snipers and the Axis gets to mow down the Allies from the bunkers.

I went to the game, it is called:
1.1 Omaha no snipers

I personally think the idea that someone brought up to stop sniping from the beach was a good idea... The one where they suggested a barrier for all ballistic weapons through which no Ally could shoot until they got past the barbed wire.

On D-Day not one ally sat down and started picking off targets from the beach. I think this would make it more balanced towards the Axis, but that's how it was in real-life.

Once you have gotten to the bunkers/trenches I do believe the Allies have the advantage as they can charge at more than one point.

There's no bottleneck choke-point to defend, so Allies can all regroup at a point in the trenches and move in as a force.

That's what the real-life beach charges would have required.

Personally, I don't mind Omaha exactly as it is. My only gripe with it is it is much more a DM map than an Objective map due to the respawns.

I played one game on Omaha where not one Axis defended the cannons, they just simply got tons of frags picking off Allies as they charged.

The way I see it is if the Allies all have sniper rifles, you hold back as Axis and let them come. See how useful those sniper rifles will be in the closed areas of the bunkers.

yeah that doesnt get boring

omaha is already unbalanced towards the axis.

the need to move ALL the spawn points up to the shingle. I think that would do alot to keep the germans pushed back
