I animated it and stuff (in fact they're my best weapon anims thus far). It's just that it got thrown in the backburner on the code end since it's just not a high-priority weapon (probably only accessible with console commands or specific gamemodes).

Maybe we'll see it in once KM gets some time. There's WAY bigger things being worked on at the moment.

KM was resistant to its inclusion because he didn't want to add another melee weapon.  You'll note that Rifle Butt isn't in either.  (I put Rifle Butt's definition on Gameplay Token, since, as an attack, the concept is roughly the same.)

Rather disappointing, since my design for TazerBoy was specifically to deal with mine spam and armor campers.

A one man army with 10 generals can only attack one hill at a time.

Genetically engineer explosive ants.  Release ant queens at hills.  Wait for colonies to develop.  Light ant fuse.

Hills problem (and ant problem) solved.

I tend to avoid the Sniper on the current maps, it can be handy on Runway or outside Casino area, but all that will change when Siberia is finished, bring on the Snipers he he.

I liked the rifle butt in the original game, never liked the actual sniper though unless of course it was on a large map like Runway.
