- "True" sniper gets introduced into MM8BDM
- People start crowding where the sniper spawns
- People start to camp far more often
- People start to completely disregard other weapons in favor for the sniper
- Weapons besides the sniper on big open maps would be rendered useless
- People just start to be more unfriendly to each-other in general
Fuuuuuun~
Personally, I love what MM8BDM did with the Magnet Missile/Dive Missile. Perfectly useable sniping weapons without pushing any boundaries. Now, if there ever WAS an instant-screen sniping weapon, it would have to have severe limitations. Obviously, it shouldn't be able to home-in on opponents like Dive Missiles or Magnet Missiles. Secondly, since it would probably be a powerful weapon, it should only have like 4-8 shots total. And lastly, it should have significant delay in-between the shots, and/or leave a "shot trail" which points back to the character that fired the weapon...just like the Sniper in the Halo series.
EVEN SO, I am against adding such a weapon. It doesn't even represent the spirit of what a Mega Man weapon should be. Mostly though I am worried how the online community would change if a sniping weapon would be added.
