Surprisingly, heavy weapons guys turn out to be pretty bad at high
ping, because by the time you've set up your assault cannon and
started firing, whatever it was that you're firing at has buggered off
and killed you from range. :). Spy and engineer (especially engineer)
are good choices, but a sniper is only really OK for medium ping
(between 200-400) - everyone has pretty much wised up to snipers and
keeps moving all the time now, so we don't have it as easy any more.
No more plum targets. :). You need a reasonable ping to track a moving
target in zoom view.
