I find it annoying. I don't play sniper often enough though, so I'm not one to judge. I've been playing a TON of medic recently though.
I play as spy anyways, the bow is so fun to nail people to walls (not in a sexual way) and it hits everything in a 10 meter radius of where you pointed at.
lol Grantrithor likes to nail people to walls. And now I have played with the frontier justice and the gunslinger, I can safely say that I APPROVE IMMENSELY. Can't wait to get the wrangler, I want to wrangle me some sentries.
Wrangler is the most awesome and least useful unlock. It's fucking hard to keep a lock on people. It should be slightly easier.
Ya shouldn't complain, i personally would prefer if it didnt automatically point to the nearest person that's somewhat close to the center of your screen, they might as well add an auto-target function to the sniper rifle now that they're at it.
Except the sentry isn't you so your LoS does not equate to it's LoS meaning pinpoint accuracy would be a bitch to do.
I think it's more badass that they engie doesn't have 1st person on the sentry, I've seen awesome moments where guys have planted a sentry, then snuck into the enemy base, and targetted from there, or just outflanked the enemy and do the same thing.
