Why don't we, as the sniper community create a new map, with the same terrain, features, and all that with another unit. I'm sure there is another unit that we can use for Snipers. It's like creating a whole new map with new strategies and physics. We can make this map just as serious as the map we are currently using right now which is a Ghost. We could probably replace the ghost with a unit that can shoot, and together we can discover a whole new concept.

Dragoon
Vulture
Marine

Hm, I'll think about it as I wait for other people to post their opinions and ideas. ;)

My name is Gokhan.
I would play it as long as it doesn't have a dragoon. That would just be ridiculous in terms of HS/SHS..

Talk to V-Teccer's to be sure, but I'm pretty sure marines can't really be microed efficiently.

Hydras are actually the only other unit that I'm positive can be used to lure and stance and such.

I'd like to see it with speedlings, but that's about it.

To change the map would take about 5 minutes. Besides anything with a unit, you would just need to edit the bonuses triggers to have the score for whatever unit is replaced.

Hm, it would be interesting to play snipers with a hydra.

I would rape all with Vulture, my patrol micro > all :)

But.. a Marine would be okay to do with, if your not a complete noob to micro/macroing.

To me.. if I changed units I would want it to be either
Dark Archon, where you MC to kill..

Or a Siege Tank ( Non Sieged )

Vulture and Dragoon wouldn't work very well, with vultures everything would be over micro'd and be boring, and with Dragoons there would be assloads of dks.

Vultures will DK like crazy, too much bullet time. They don't stall much.

I'm pretty sure someone already made a hydralisk map on the basic terrain at some point, my memory is failing me right now though. I'll look through my maps after I post this. As I say this, I'm thinking Goliaths might have been done at some point too.

EDIT: Can't find either on this computer, whenever I go home I'll look, but I'm not sure if I ever played it or just remember hearing about it.

Kerrigan would just be the same thing with shorter range.

See above. Also, the enemies aren't retarded computers in snipers, and I was assuming lock-only would be maintained.

Marine would be pointless otherwise. Locking with a marine does not give you an advantage.

If you're using Dark Archons, you might as well use feedback to kill.

Siege Tank I could see being used.

I've played sniper maps with a marine, hydra, and a tank before on my old computer. Not as fun as with a ghost :o.

Kerrigan has already been attempted. It was a version made by SaVoR like 1-2 years ago called SnipB-SaV_v323 or w.e. It featured a kerrigan and they suck ass, range is short and can't do shit.

Also from experience with playing with Lazer Tag maps... a marine CAN d-lock but I am not sure with angles.
NOTE: Anything that can shoot and has range CAN Shift Hack Shot. It is already proven by DaMeiN.

This change to a snipers map will only take 30 seconds or maybe even less. Let's go for it. We can make Snipers more interesting again.

too lazy to replace other responses, but this has been done before, they have zlots and tanks are the two i can think of off the top of my head, along with those x8 speed maps, bllind suppression sniping, kerrigans etc :o

and it really wouldnt really make anything more interesting and i wouldn't play it more than a couple times anyways :\ If youre bored of the game, you might try idk playin somethin else for a little while? Going outside?

What if everyone chose their units at the start of the game? So someone might choose a ghost with long range, and another chooses a ling? Person with ling is extremely fast and difficult to lock, but person with ghost has range. Maybe make one unit a rine that is able to stim, but make it so that regularly all units would take 2 hits to kill him, but if he stims just 1 hit. Hydra's with burrow ability mayhaps. Or even a medic that can optical flare haha. Medic+Rine would be an amazing combo though, since medic could heal rine after stimming.

Have you never played Laser tag before?

Or Even the old sniper maps...with heroes.

This has all been done before, its not "new" and it works for about 2 weeks then people get bored. The last one done was lings and zealots.
