I was on the top of the food chain, I roll spec I check which squad Im in and rush to get sadar kit before my rivals and PB with AP rockets every t3 i saw. but since some update or something, I have high suspicion it was the byond update from version 515 to beta 516, every fucking time I wake up from cryosleep I suffer up to 5 seconds of glaucoma, bumping into walls and tables like a headless chicken, slipping on my tears as I feel the sadar kit slipping thru my hands. now they laugh at me as I am forced to feed of scraps - either picking snooze sniper, free cap pyro or FF major GL. so like what the fuck - am I the only one cursed with this shit, or did 516 in fact break ss13 spawning in code and this is a know bug?

Another round lost for Marines because Aalto something refuses to play CO, instead opting to play QM Squad Lead in order to appeal to authority, so his supreme whitelist gets accepted. Spoiler Alert Spypig23(I forgot aalto ckey), they don’t want a CO who doesn’t roleplay. So get back on CO and start roleplaying.

he objectively worse spec in the game, by a longshot, are the sniper specs. Both AMR and base sniper.
Yes, this includes scout being a menace against backliners with the stun to death combo.
Why?
Well, it’s because of how unengaging and uninteractive the sniper specs are as a whole.
At least with pyro and sadar, they HAVE to get close to you to land in some good shots. Pyro takes skill in terms of positioning your fire well, and sadar you have to shoot ap at the perfect time and position to get that juicy hit. Both sadar and pyro are strong AND engaging, and have counterplay. Making them good specs.
But the sniper specs? They take NO skill. There is NO risk to choosing this spec. Want to know why? They can easily camp way in the back due to iff and being able to deal damage from tremendous ranges. They are nearly COMPLETELY safe, as they are far in the back.
The only “counters” are lurkers, runners, and boilers, but they’d have to somehow attack the sniper undetected by the ball of 50 marines. Yeah, good luck. You can argue boiler is a counter, but snipers often position far enough for boilers to not even be able to hit them. Every other xeno, which is mostly designed for cqc, can do NOTHING to a sniper spec whatsoever.
They can target any tier 3 like a crusher or ravager with iff and a lot of damage, but ALSO they can STUN, SLOW YOU DOWN, OR BURN YOU. And you can’t do ANYTHING about that. You are forced to just sit there and cope and be forced to retreat way earlier when trying to even attack marines.
Such an unengaging and unfun spec. Both the sniper specs are GARBAGE.
(this is my last complaining post for a long while, I don’t want to be too negative in this community)

Like very cool spec and all, however!
THE FUCKER KEEPS FFING THE WHOLE FRONT, EVEN DEMO CANT DO THAT CONSITANTLY. THE DAY THIS SHIT ASS CENTRAL FF SPEC GOT ADDED , ALL WE GOT AS MARINES IN RETURN WAS MORE FF! Fucking xenodevs are cackling their ass off! next time I see somebody pick SHARP spec I’m going to PB him, this will save agruably more marine lives then when he walks around bumbling about shooting DARTS up my ass!
Thanks, this was my TEDtalk!
