DUST Search - Snipers are worthless teammates.

They are useless. They do not hack, they do not push on the enemy. About the only thing they are good for was overwatch and marking enemies, but they can't even do that anymore. If any team has more than 3 of them that team will almost always lose, and everyone but the snipers gets slaughtered.
They are a completely selfish role, they often wait to shoot so they can steal a kill, even if it cost their ally a fitting. The only reason they play Skirmish and Domination is because there is a redline that they can hide in.
For any sniper that says "killing X enemies isn't useless". Yes it is. In a game where the enemy can just keep respawning, kills are worthless. Kill all the enemies you want, unless we clone them you were useless. Most matches are won with MCC destruction, not kills.
The only snipers I have much respect for are the Tac Snipers that get up near the battles(obviously not in them, but not 250m away on a mountain), and ones that provide overwatch with a mic, or (even better) a flux scanner.
