imho its because of the prevalence of elite infantry on both side that and the fact that the sniper really isn't that bad a unit.
i think next patch well see less of them, however, i think also the players are starting to figure out how to use them which means they probably won't go away.
edit: also i don't think there that hard to counter in this game given there are so many ways don't only have to use counter sniper.
because id get knocked out of the first round without standing a chance, id still probably have fun but... then there is also the fact that i am to busy making them
how the fuck is this doctrine balanced? don't get me wrong i like the concept and units in it but i wonder how its gonna be not gonna be OP espeically in early game.
OpenRA is a Libre/Free Real Time Strategy project that recreates the classic Command & Conquer titles.
We include recreations of C&C (Tiberian Dawn), C&C: Red Alert, and Dune 2000. These are not intended to be perfect copies, but instead combine the classic gameplay of the originals with modern improvements such as unit veterancy and the fog of war.
OpenRA's primary focus is cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, OS X, and Linux; however, we include a number of single-player missions, and also support skirmish games against AI bots.
