More on Far Cry

The sniper rifle is truly the God weapon of the game. As noted below, my brother recommends that you never drop it once you get it. However, it's best to use it sparingly and take every opportunity to collect ammo for it as it appears to be somewhat rare. Guys in towers tend to have them.

I'm told that, on some multiplayer servers, the admins will kick you if you use the sniper rifle as it totally destroys game balance. The last LAN party I was at we played Far Cry and it was a lot of fun, but I quickly realized that this claim is correct. I was actually trying to see how close I could come to other players with the sniper rifle without hitting them. I wanted to startle them by having bullets impact the wall or ground right in front of them. I accidentally shot someone in the leg and he just keeled over. I shouted, "Sorry about that!" to whoever my victim was and then headed down into the fray with a machine gun.
