Is there any way melee damage can be removed from Team Snipers. Personally I think Team Snipers should feature exclusively sniping, not people who double pummel me while I’m attempting to get a no-scope off.
The majority of games I get on, if Pro isn’t voted for I’m getting pistolled or naded. I don’t understand why these people choose to play team snipers, and then not even use the sniper. If they can’t shoot a sniper, they shouldn’t play the playlist. If Pro is voted for, I still get the absolute pleasure of someone who shoots the sniper about five times a game and then just melees for the rest of the game.
I agree that Pistols and Nades in Team Snipers are annoying, but without melee damage you will most likely see players circling each other for 10 minutes, each trying to no-scope the other. The settings I like to use are: sniper primary, no secondary/nades, 75% melee damage, bottomless clip.
But yes, you can set melee damage to 0% in Custom Game options, if you like that more.
Yeah, well if I can’t seem to hit someone with the sniper I’ll pummel them eventually. It’s just annoying when people don’t even take a shot, just run and melee. At least a reduction in melee damage so that those people don’t get an easy kill for something that requires absolutely no talent lol.
I don’t think removing melee damage altogether would be beneficial, as there are some moments where a melee is more efficient than trying to pull off a no-scope. It would help to minimize those who simply run up to melee, as opposed to shooting first and beating people up later

> That’d be like taking away the sniper from plain Team Slayer just because it doesn’t have the word ‘sniper’ in the gametype name.
No, actually, it wouldn’t be the same. A sniper can be used to slay, therefore fits under the goal of slaying the enemy. Team Slayer = goal is to slay. Team Snipers = goal should be to snipe. Team Snipers without the sniping is comparable to Big Team Battle without the big team.
> Melee should stay but make it in the settings to give no points.
That’s a nice idea actually! I do like
> snipe them in the chest, melee them back, boom you win …
Yeah this is what I do most of the time, I never melee unless I’ve already gotten one shot on them but it doesn’t make the pummelling less annoying lol.
