Tweaking the balances might be one of the hardest things, hornestly big respect for that, but detecting missing pieces of the jigsaw is the supreme discipline in my opinion. Creating & Adding fitting new content like the radar ping or the sniper included. And that's far way from featurecreap. \r\n\r\nI think the developers are capable and smart enough to understand how things intertwine and shouln't be afraid of touching every aspect of the game to improve it and don't stick, or even restrict the possibilities, to the original art-content.\r\nI just don't think that it's wrong to create new red alertish additional stuff like the sniper.\r\nTo be exact i think it's just the opposite. It's awesome to find additional details added with much blood, sweat and tears. ;) \r\n\r\nDo you know the game dune2 the golden path? One of the best things i saw in that whole dune2 remake was the new Flak Trikes unit. I had to salute to Drackbolt for that brilliant adding.\r\nOr do you know the Diablo 1 MOD - Belzebub? Same here, a stunning and mindblowing amount of new and fitting content. This mod is better than the official Hellfire addon. But I'm digressing here... Back to OpenRA..\r\n\r\nIts not my decision, but please do consider a voting at fb for example. This could show how the majority is thinking about the sniper.\r\n\r\nThe other hypothetical way would be to remove the sniper and watch the bounty rising to undo that :)\r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
