not necessarily. Halprin and I squared off a while ago on Faceclassic , and managed to make a pantsload of headshots on eachother. (although , he got me more than i got him)

I've played you and Halprin, Neither of you dodge very much
Its easy to headshot either of you, cuz you just walk straight.
What TKATK is talking about is people jumping from side to side and zig zaging, Our Sniper rifle is rather useless again't those people as the bullet takes a full second to get to the other side.
I do agree with him that the bullet speed needs upping, But Its not going to happen (atleast in this PR)

It would just take a little bit of practice, which is always a good thing. A little bit of a learning curve will make it more challenging to use. That way, we won't have 6 snipers per side when playing on Face Classic, unless they're all experts or something.

did you zigzag circle strafe around,like a headless chicken?i doubt,ive seen some really dodgy people out there on face classic,and picking em off with a single sniper is hard enufff

Sorry, can't go there with you guys, for many reasons. Naturally a player who is wise enough to dodge while you're trying to sniper him is going to be harder to hit. Life's rough sometimes, and so are the servers.
If'n you're having trouble sniping, then don't. Grab some napalm and light up the base entrance for him. Send out some proxies as a welcoming committee. Lasermine your flag down so tight he'll light up our message board afterwards screaming "Chaos Team plx fix!", and so forth.
Remember, the idea is not to make sniping the easiest thing in the world to do, actually the opposite would be more true. Sitting in one spot and defending your base with a sniper rifle is perfectly acceptable play, but that doesn't mean it shoud be the answer to everything. You're gonna have to expand your tactics.

I think the funniest thing is the title "miniature black hole", which is impossible, since all matter in a black hole is focused at a single, immeasurably zero-dimensional point, and there is nothing that can be more miniature than zero-dimensions.

I suck when it comes to physics, but I disagree.
A black hole compresses matter quite a lot, but not zero-dimensional. Zero-dimensional would be non-existent.
Anyways: 'miniature black hole' describes the size of the event horizon, not the matter inside...
