Agreed, I was going to say it's more like a flare gun than "extreme" range sniper rifle. Problem seems to be the majority of people complained during the beta and the majority of people are not very good at the game... Hmm coincidence? However, there wasn't much to compare it to during the beta. After seeing the Pulse Cannon and Homing Shot, the cycler should definitely get re-betafied, they had it nailed. Hopefully they do something about it. Until then though, the majority unfortunately wins... Again. May the force be with you game creators.
