He is obviously a sniper but has a deamage fall off at a distance where i would start concidering him being usefull, so what most good sentinels will do is start chase and snipe which gets you on very close distance becouse of the way the maps are designed, now when you are at this distance you most likely won't really have time to get more then one charged shot with the btx 1 or one shot with the PR (becouse you will need the energy to keep chasing) and that is the point where the falcon comes into play and helps you with stopping the capper. The nova colt would be pretty useless in that situation becouse of the strange delay on it while shooting and the low projectile speed. Btw am i the only one who thinks that the hitboxes of enemys feel strange when you shoot on them with the btx or PR, sometimes i am pretty sure that my shoots should have hit the target but didn't and sometimes they do hit when i am sure they should have missed.

I do agree , I may be old and full of arthristis but I can aim ..... dirty old disc seems to be more likely to hit on the left side of the model everytime and I'm adjusting my game to suit which is annoying.

i think the sentinel needs something else to do other than the sniper rifle. the falcon is a nice gun yes, but op, i dont think so. i have the falcon, and its equipped, and yes, i can own with it, but i can also own with anything im using, as im sure most good players do.

but what does the sentinel have if hes not sniping??? he has nothing without that falcon.
sure, its a sniping class(why? cause its only real weapon is the rifle), but i dont bind myself into these "classes". what if you want to play D, or flag D with a sentinel, and actively with no snipe? what if you want to go O with the sent? than you dont have a weapon. (the sentinel can go o with his sniper rifle... yes, however we need more than one real weapon choice for all classes - and by going o i mean physically attacking)

look at tech, does he have to sit in a base repairing? he has some worthy offense.

i enjoy having the option to use the sentinel class without using the sniper rifle. ive actually done this, after i got the falcon, cause i could!! -- yes, without the falcon you cant do much else at all.
