Hmm....
Tell you what... I have always fancied myself a sniper. I like that there is some skill involved in shooting a very tiny pixel at a cluster of other tiny pixels, moving or not, in the hope that my pixel will hit their pixels. Plus, sniping is definitely the way to go when my wife calls me and wants to talk about her day or something. I can sit there and move the mouse and pretend to listen with the other hand.
I do think sniping is much easier in 2142, especially with the addition of the megascope 3000 or whatever they call it. I'll use the stabilizer if I've set myself up like 5 miles from the intended kill zone, but otherwise I think it's more fun to work with the sway. Also, I think the bullet drop, if any, is much easier to compensate for in 2142. It's a lot of fun to get those headshots, or my personal favorite thing to do, catch a guy in the open, pop him once in the chest, and watch him squirm and hide from me for a good long time. Then, when he thinks I'm done with him, POW! Hee hee....man, that makes people mad.
Oh, my other favorite thing is to let an engineer drop his roller mines all over a silo, then when he almost captures the flag, pop one of his little balloons with the Zeller. Man, talk about anger. Beautiful.
