Description
Because all sniper rifles in FPS games work basically the same. They all have basically the same core problems.My prediction is that as new FPS games come out. More and more devs will put harsher and harsher restrictions on sniper rifles, or leave them out more and more until sniper rifles essentially cease to exist in FPS games. Since at the current moment. Sniper Rifles are un-fun to play against, tend to break game balance hard, and are the perfect weapon for hackers to use. Add in the fact that sniper rifles don't tend to get flashy kills, and even deny other players from getting flashy kills. Meaning they make competitive matches less fun to watch. And you get the perfect storm, a weapon which is only loved by users of the weapon. And hated by everyone else. Players because they're un-fun to play against. Devs because they break game balance, and encourage hackers. And publishers because they make the game less fun to watch, which is bad for esports.
A weapon which will probably cease to exist. And that might just be a good thing.
