This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What counters a sniper in the end is good map design. Basically, no matter where the sniper is, there has to be route that allows reaching him without him seeing you before you get into close enough to shoot him.

I'm no developer or programmer of any kind but wouldn't it be a simple fix by creating percentile ranges in the hitbox of the players? Headshot 100% damage, foot is 25% damage etc. etc.

That's definitely already a thing in most games. Sometimes sniper rifles do so much damage that even 50% is enough to OHKO though. Not sure what game specifically this is referencing

CS:GO/CS2, AWP, leg shot deals 75 damage, body and head instakill

Presumably Counterstrike. That's an AWP.
