    Knowing that there are too many kids out there on McWar who whine about Isos and how powerful they are (because they can't play CS:GO), here's my suggestion. We put in a firework/flare thing trail that follows right behind every sniper bullet we fire. This will not increase or decrease any stats that were originally on the sniper. Only addition is the trail.

    Pros:
    - Less campers, more close combat
    - Awareness of where the sniper is
    - People may donate/vote for more fancier firework trails

    Cons:
    - Hypixel may attack us and whine about how we ripped off their Quakecraft feature
    - People might still whine about snipers
    - Fireworks cause lag leading to people turning off their trails

    10 points to anyone who gets what TF2 weapon I'm referring to.

    I guess it could be a feature unlocked through voting.

    Railgun from TF2 maybe?
    And I guess it's a good idea, but they should add blood back first :x

    Machina.
    Well, this would actually be a good feature. Not realistic, but it would be cool.

    Like they once added to the Barret in WarZ, a little smoke beam?

    There's no railguns in TF2.

    Machina with a trail/tracer rounds that can't fire while unscoped and obviously has +15 % damage in a charged shot.

    :V

    I like this idea.

    I don't think their should be a firework trail, but something like smoke.

    Won't Minigun lead to LOTS of lag? Or is this only for snipers?

    You do realize that the point of a sniper is to camp, right? A sniper stays back from the crowd and picks on enemies one-by-one.
    Adding these trails would make it easier for a sniper to be seen, which removes the point of trying to snipe.

    And have you ever realized that we rarely ever have sniper-using campers in the server? The only campers we have are cheap donors with their crossbows, skullys, etc yet we hardly ever see one using a sniper. Hell, this server has snipers that could be used for close ranged combat besides camping. Even if we didn't have trails, we could still detect any camping sniper from blocks away. Because everyone wears either blue/red colored armor that is not appropriate for camouflage.

    This would suck for me ;-; I always camp with iso ;/
    Also, this would sort of ruin infect, as you have to camp in infect, and you may have a sniper. The trail will get you killed easily

    I think that this would make our bullets cooler looking actually. I like it for both it's looks and it's purpose.
    Stylized trails is a bit much though, I think a bright green trail would be a little to much you know?
    All and all, I think this would be pretty easy to add

    No just no snipers are suppose to camp and kill one person by one. Watch "American Sniper"

    This honestly appears to be a lot of work for such a small and simple problem.

    I actually really like this. Although it doesn't seem like something that would be added. But +1 anyway.

    And neither does COD have trails and I'm proving that snipers aren't suppose to have trails so therefore -1
