Recent posts to the Respawn Entertainment forum discusses the role of sniper rifles in Titanfall. With some players expressing concern with how sniping impacts gameplay in shooters, one of the Respawn developers offers the following reassurance about how this will be handled in the mech game: "Sniping is in the game, but due to how the game plays it's a pretty different animal than you'll find in your run of the mill modern military shooter. Quick scoping and no scoping are ineffective." Thanks GameSpot.
