How many servers have the Mass Driver zoom feature disabled? It seems like it just doesn't work on some servers. Is this an aethestic decision or a balance issue? Is using the scope considered to be some sort of unfair advantage? Has anyone else noticed the 'Z' key not working on the MD on certain servers?
On a related note, if some sort of sniper/camper weapon were to be created, I would favor something even more sneaky, like a sniper rifle that fired poison darts (the enemy victim would become a plague carrier), a remotely-controlled explosive device (the "tagged" enemy would appear on radar or the sniper's view would be that of the "tagged" enemy), or a laser beam (which would kill a dretch in one shot). Of course camping snipers are susceptible to sneak attacks, too. Dretched from above, or sniped by adv goon are two ways to die while zoomed-in and scoping for victims.
Aliens would need some sort of cloaked basi as counterbalance.
