...i think you fail to realize that maps in IB (i am taking that as an example, because outside IB Thorn doesn't seem to be an issue) are mid-range maps, so technically, its like this - let's imagine a real-life scenario where you have sniper rifle and i have say, desert eagle and we're shooting at each other from 50m distance (which is roughly the distance from bottom right doorway on blindwatch to the doorway upstairs above b) - whoever hits first is gonna win yes, if we were talking about REAL sniper distance, say, 1km away, i would never stand a chance with my eagle, but majority of the maps do not allow that sort of distance see what i mean? TL;DR - 'sniper distance' doesn't mean ANY distance you're shooting the sniper rifle from ;)
