No evidence yet that 1943 simply devolves into sniper battles - even despite how open the maps tend to be. It certainly helps that the rifleman is pretty good over distance and more adaptable, and the sniper's satchel charges help to encourage them be tactical and not simply camp for an entire match.

I still resist purchasing this in case it devolves into sniper battles, as Heroes seems to (snipers are rubbish in all games except TF2).
