Exactly the title. I'm new and back in Tribes 1 and 2 days I used the sniper rifle a lot. I was good too, even though you had to still lead your targets based on ping. Man, when I first got cable internet hitting 40 ping and all my friends were still on dial up hitting 300 at best… Those were the days.
But I'm curious… I've noticed the sniper is no longer hit scan. Is it really slow? or is it fast? How much do I really need to lead targets that are on the other side of the map? I can't seem to get the hang of it AT ALL. Like no matter how much I do or don't lead targets that far away, I am missing every shot and I can not for the life of me figure out how to use this damn weapon properly.
Sucks because most games are pretty straight forward. I'll keep at it but I feel like I'm missing something.
