Snipers were found to be too powerful, and many people were being put off playing the game and being beaten easily and consistently by snipers. While we appreciate that sniping takes a degree of skill, once mastered it was making the game not so fun for everyone else.

“Hi Shukio,

I’m glad you agree that sniper rifle experts were dominating. … Besides – true commandos are brilliant with all weapons”

It’s not even about balance as much as it is about fun. Sniper rifle games were the most intense and fast paced of all. Now you can’t even get a double kill with the sniper rifle anymore without resorting to grenades or the fire spin. Try killing anyone with a health powerup and armor now using only the sniper. That will show you just how useless you made it.

I was pwning snipers with a grenade launcher already, but I admit that a good sniper was a tough opponent. Sniper is easy to learn for n00bs, so it became overused despite its severe limitations – great for defense, not-so-great for attack. Hopefully the nerf will balance the weapon choice a bit.

Hi Helge,

Hi Shukio,

I’m glad you agree that sniper rifle experts were dominating. This is why we made this balance change. However rather than being put off by the game you should really be ready to step your game up and becoe even better with the sniper rifle. Surely you are up to the challenge or has being a dominator with the sniper for so long mean you no longer like a bit of competition?

Besides – true commandos are brilliant with all weapons

I really must agree with #15, local multiplayer is missing BIGTIME. Not everyone can afford 2 PS3′s and 2 40″ LCD’s to play against each other locally…

But besides that the game is great, and I can play it for hours and hours. And I am definately going for this update and some awesome ninja woopass!

C u on!

I think this is/was one of the best games on PSN, probably the most played game on my PS3 (beats Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet and Uncharted). Certainly the most fun for my money.

I was eagerly awaiting this DLC until i heard that they have made the sniper rifle worthless. Now I’m seriously considering to disconnect from PSN to play a bot game from time to time instead of updating the game. Will be fun for about 10 minutes, and then I’ll play Fat Princess or something else instead.

I think you guys went overboard on the sniper rifle nerf. I admit that it dominated the game, but I think it would have been better if you could fire off at least 2 shots before having to reload. Right now, in the time it takes you to shoot once and reload, you can almost fire off four rounds with the grenade launcher as well. Grenade launcher spam was already annoying when sniper rifles dominated, but tonight it was that much worse. Any place with more than four people just becomes a death trap with grenades bouncing all over the place. That is not skill anymore, just luck.

You mean you dont like it LOUD
Depending on certain TV’s or sound systems we found certain sound issues due to the output thresh hold. Now its all good!

I guess it depends on the size of your tv. On mine they look fine
Did you know you can djust the in game camera to zoom in a little bit. I prefer the zoomed out view myself.

Each character have their own set of personality, animations and taunts. I’m looking forward to seeing Maids V Rastas….Rappers taking out the Jarheads…again and again and again….watch out for two new videos coming t the store this week showcasing the maps and characters!
