Re: Infiltrator vs Sniper

I think you're drawing too much of a hard line between snipers and infiltrators. It's not like PS2 where the two are mutually exclusive. Besides that, with all the open area in PS2, snipers are going to be very effective as suppressors and sentinels.
If you look at the typical round-based map FPSs, yeah snipers have limited uses. But this is more like a real war and will probably act more like designated marksmen as well as snipers and infiltrators. They'll likely either be with the squad hitting targets too far away for the normal grunts and doing normal infiltrator stuff (hacking, ambushing, etc.) OR be providing cover from more advantageous points and keeping an eye on the enemy in general. Infiltrators can spec into one playstyle, but that doesn't mean they cant do both to some degree.
That said, I would like infiltrators to be THE spotting and target painting class, just to help flesh them out as more than just a killer.
