Eh...normally in games you may carry more than one weapon so I usually choose both O_O
If I had to choose, though, I'd say in about every game I'm more skilled with the Sniper(except on portable systems lol). Like COD, Halo, GoW, and stuff like that, sniping is my normal thing.
but does no good at close combat.
In a game you can run away frantically shooting it everywhere and probably kill the enemy depending on how 'powerful' the sniper is compared to the rest of the weapons.
Meaning is it a Spartan Laser to a bunch of (single)SMG or a Snub Pistol to an arsenal of Boomshot XP
