I made a sarcastic post yesterday just joking around for giggles. Snipers aren't obsolete. If you think about it, the heavy crate thing in D2 (Forgot the name of it) functions THE SAME WAY as special crates.....ya know every 30 seconds? Yea lol the only small thing is that its a "first come, first served" Scenario. Keep things simple, you can't share heavy with other teammates now. Which isn't a major problem. Depending on what gamemode you're playing, it should not be a huge deal. Sniping in D2 feels the same way as D1 due to recent D2 PvP gameplay from well-known content creators. You just have to be careful and make smarter decisions. Especially when all gamemodes are 4v4 now.
Sorry for my bad grammar.

From what I have seen, only the person who opens the crate gets the ammo, and nobody else, so there will not be the team full of snipers that there once was, the same applies to shotguns too. This is a brilliant change if you ask me.

The majority of people are going to take a rocket launcher or a grenade launcher over a sniper though.
