I was wondering why a sniper has no sidearm but a anti-tank rifleman does.  Would it be possible to give the snipers a pistol, or regular grenades.  I think with a sniper, the whole point is to be stealthy.

The rationale is that a sniper is the undisputed deadliest long range infantry killer in the game. The balance for that is that he has very little close combat capability. We might revisit this loadout in the future if we have some significant game play changes but for now I think the balance is just about right. 

What are the possibilities of making a sentry soldier with german shepherd? I believe this would help stop moles and lone cappers and slowly do away with AI.  What do ya'll think?

Well, I asked GRANIK what he thought about putting a dog in the game and he mumbled something about we can't have a pet class when we don't even have a healer. So I asked TOTO if he wanted to model and animate a German Shepherd. After his rolling laughter had subsided but before his extra wide grin and smiling eyes had subsided he chortled, "Are you serious?". Personally, I thought it was a perfectly legitimate question. Maybe I'll have to rephrase the question.
