Since you've had a great experience with the game I assume that th earlier pathes helped and that the game is worth buying.
Yeah, so far so good. The Snipers aren't really that much of a problem, I get capped once and a while but hey, thats how it goes sometimes, just have to play smart, never run in a straight line and use trees as cover. I have heard bullets fly by me and hit the ground, I know it was a Sniper, but I just run a random zig zag pattern and make it hard for them. Also, there are vehicles with guns to help you find and kill Snipers in relative safety; Jeeps, APC's, attack Helo's, etc. There are not a lot of 'Attack Helo's' but thats good as they do a lot of damage, too many would greatly imbalance the game, especially the rocket gunships, just nasty.
All's I can say is, at the end of the night, it's hard to log off and stop playing.
Oh yeah, I played on the same team as the infamous 'fredrickson' the other day, he did a good job.
