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. -- Adam Williamson Real Mail: adam "at" scss.demon.co.uk 88.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.
