Team Fortress 2, and my ideas for it

Yeah, he's right. You can do that with the current rifle.

Peripheral vision and a 6 shot clip would help in this situation. A nice health boost so you don't get rawketed easy is fine too. Maintaining your normal running speed while still doing more-than-revolver damage is pretty good.

Why doesn't an offensive class do that? like I don't know a SOLDIER?

Well, yeah you could use a Soldier to support your team, but a rifle wielding Sniper is a pretty good asset in a situation with loads of obstacles taking out people from afar.

a good idea for a future sniper weapon

is that you can shoot 3 times without reload... but no Charge power

Yeah, because they aren't going for total replacements (like the backburner was until the +50 was removed), but are rather adding options to choose from that have their ups and downs. I do not think there needs to be a super awesome attack force closer sniper.

flare gun

and rifle DOES have ups and downs

What?

How does flare gun = shotgun? The only similarity they have is that you need both hands to use it and they have grips. That's it.

It's called an option. Also, they wanted something unique for the pyro with everyone having shotguns and all.

Unique or not, it still contradicts what you said, flare gun =/= shotgun. Also a rifle would have ups and down: no more one hit kills and reduced long range vision. The fact that to be more effective you have to get closer to the enemy is a downside too.

No it... really doesn't contradict what I said.

Your rifle idea just sounds a little annoying and overpowered to me :V

and not too much a sniper

Hm, you are kinda right. I won't argue about the rest of your post, but no scope doesn't mean not a sniper. I quoted numerous instances of that last page.

I know, but you'd find a lot more snipers running around willy nilly with the way you described it and not so much concealing and sniping.

unless your playing 2fort or mariokart or any other map where sniping is easy.
