SNIPER

The Sniper. Enough said. This bad-ass will drop bad-guys from afar. Theywon't ever know where he is, but he will always know where they are. Thedon't know where he is because every time he fires, he finds a new positionto split-wigs from. With sniper fire slamming down on the enemy, they areusually forced to take cover inside buildings or bunkers, thus giving theinfiltrators that is the rest of the team an opportunity to take them out fromangles they are not concerned about because they're being fired upon fromother angles. Consequently, the sniper usually has few kills, but when he killsit is glourious.
