Re: One-Shot Kills: only snipers can be OSK'd

I understand that, but the role of snipers are not just infantry support in the role of pinning enemies.
Snipers are a force multiplier, meaning that the job of the sniper is more often than not to kill enemies quickly before they are able to inflict casualties upon allied troops. This is not something we really saw much of in Planetside as it took 2 snipers to kill 1 soldier before he could open up on allied troops. The role of the sniper was relegated to cleanup and light suppression. I personally saw snipers as a nuisance in Planetside nothing more. If I was hit by a sniper I simply moved into cover, healed fully, and then shot at his allies from behind cover that I knew he could not shoot at me through.
I do not have a problem with one shot kills as long as there is skill required to it. Beta will be the best way to see how it all works out.
