Just an experiment to get a feel of what kind of players are here in Escapist!
You are wielding an automatic rifle and you and two other teammates are running along the edge of the map, hoping to outflank the snipers/campers thats been causing grief for your team since the game began. As soon as you turn the corner you run smack right into one of the two snipers crouching behind the building. In heartbeat, you knife the guy in front of you, and the other sniper, about 20 twenty feet away, sees you, and both of you blaze away. 'You hit him a least a couple of times,' you think desperately when your screen pulsates red as you back away. One of your teammates jumps out past you, his SMG blasting away over the sound of pistol fire... and silence: He was pistol pwned by that sniper! As your the third teammate finishes him off with a single shot of his trench gun, you reload and move forward towards the side of the building and run right smack into another sniper. As you hear the bullet wizz by your head, you rush up to him your gun blazing, hitting him a few times as he backtracks into the doorway switching to his pistol, a Mag .357, and starts wailing on you. As a slug rips through your arm you run full tilt at him, squinting through the reddness on your screen, going for the knife and swing... and miss! Expecting to die any second you strafe around, just in time to see him rush in to knife you --- and miss! He ducks into the next room as you try to reload and you discover that you only have half a clip left. Your teammate comes in and tosses a grenade into the doorway and a tense second passes as both wait for *boom* to rush his ass. Suddenly, the grenade gets tossed back! As the grenade explodes between you, both of you rush towards the door as the sniper peels off another round, fragging your teammate and dropping his pump shotty, and forcing you to take cover by the side of the doorway.
This is just for fun -- I would personally go for the first option, since from experience the best way to deal with snipers are to rush them, but what would you do?
