Topic: Snipers+Lasers=?

Well so I saw the lasers and stuff and its a necesary thing in star wars and its great you you guys did a good job, but I'm worrying about something...

The lasers are obviously more visable then bullets, and I was wondering, what will this mean for sinpers? I assume they have blaster-like rifles, and will it hinder their ability to stay back and hidden, or is the game meant to be so that snipers are up in the heat of battle? Will they have to move all the time?

As sniping fan, can you guys reassure me on this subject?

They'll be fine.... in some situations you will have to relocate after each shot, but it'll be fine.

Imperial snipers dont have to worry about being spotted when there is other laser fire going on, but rebel sniper rifles fire a different color bolt that says "HEY! OVER HERE! IM A SNIPER!" but I personally prefer the rebel rifle because I like putting fear into people when they know they are in a snipers sites, especially when they are already dealing with someone.

What the boys are saying that a good sniper allways relocates after taking someone down. You can indeed be spotted by your blaster fire, but most of the time the blasterbolts are moving so fast, you have little to locate where they are coming from.

Especially with the sniper which doesn't shoot in a stream of fire.

They'll be fine, I was sniping in the trailer and you've obviously not seen me wink

(or I was cut out but I think I definately sniped in a few shots)

You were cut, due to some abusive gesturing and shouting anti-Imperial sentiments during fighting.
