The auto rifle gets less accurate at range, and you can only carry a fairly limited amount of ammo, so save it for the times when enemies are bearing down on top of you. |

Concussion Grenades can also be used to mess up a sniper's aim. |

| − | Snipers | + | Snipers are often ineffective at close range, and they are further incapicated in close range combat when they are zoomed in with their [[Weapon:Sniper_Rifle|Sniper Rifle]]. A sniper with a fully charged shot can still be extremely deadly at close quarters; in fact, being closer will make you a bigger target. If a Sniper is doing a lot of damage to your team, try to get close to him and take him out quickly, though if he is close to his spawn, distracting him may be more effective than killing him. |
| − | + | If you are playing as a Sniper yourself, you are best equipped to take enemy Snipers out. Many CTF maps are mirrored, so each team's base is exactly the same. Think about where you like to take cover and you are likely to find an enemy Sniper in one of those spots. | |
Regardless of what class you are playing, if you spot a Sniper, make sure to immediately alert your team to their general location. If the Sniper manages to take you out, at least the next guy coming along knows where he is and can take a crack at it. | Regardless of what class you are playing, if you spot a Sniper, make sure to immediately alert your team to their general location.
