All I can say is...very disapointing. I liked it, it was decent, but it was rather boring, and only useful for deathmatch or TF. I therefore decided to create XSniper. XSniper puts you in the position of a fully-trained military sniper. You get the sniper rifle, homing missiles, and best of all, X-Ray goggles. I actually stole the X-Ray goggles from someone else. Sorry, I've forgotten who it was, but whoever you are, thankyou.
