Re: Better get rid of sniper rifles too!

In Response To: Better get rid of sniper rifles too! (Revenant1988)

: Because it's UNFAIR that I can go on a 1 v 1 with an opponent, have them
: pretty much beaten and then a sniper wayyy on the other side of the map
: kill my target with one well placed shot. Heck, it could be a well timed
: BR volley. Or what about when someone lobs a grenade at us and gets both
: points?!

: That mean other player stole my point! >:(

: I deserve it!

: You're supposed to take advantage of the situation. It's encouraged. If you
: don't, your opponent surely will, and they won't care, no matter how much
: you pout.

But, see, you could also be that guy that steals the kill.
Equal opportunity here - the only difference is you have an ethic that screams at you not to do that to other players. The playing actually is completely level and fair. The problem is there's a greater imbalanced frustration with a mechanic that allows 'stealing' and a greater underhanded satisfaction at being the thief. So if one's ethic is less underhanded, the mechanic is worse (that is, it's more satisfying to those who are willing to play the thief, even if they are the victim). But gameplay-wise, it's completely fair.
