I disagree, Dust isn't about visible combat.
Its All Out War.
Sniprs are a part of war, its just about tactics, snipers are a tactic and a very good one.

Sniprs are a part of war, its just about tactics, snipers are a tactic and a very good one. Explain to me why I should have a sniper in PC?
1. Area - Denial, Snipers are one of the best units for Area-Denial, the ability to engage gives the engaged targets little chance for a direct rebuke. Unlike close combat units, the sniper doesn't have to rely on killing the enemy to slow there assault on letter.
For example by the time the Mass Driver gets into range you will likely be pinned down yourself. HMG is tied to the heavy which can be easily outmanoeuvred in a Cover rich environment. The shotgun is to risky for vital defence.
2. Early Warning, Snipers performing Area Denial can request back long before the enemy reaches the point, even if he only slows them down that increases the time the team has to respond to the threat. If your guarding a point with say an assault rifle, most of the time the first time you encounter an enemy they will be less than 100m from the point. Your team has little time to respond.
3. Overwatch, Snipers placed in some of the juicer picks can have view over an instance of battle. For example line harvest(the old bridge map) having a sniper who can see what is going on is a powerful tactical tool. They can watch for breaks in the lines, delegate more less resources as needed. The sniper may never fire a shot, but I would choose him over another assault rifle wielding hothead who thinks he's God's Gift to New Eden
4. Guardian Angel, If I ever had a Guardian Angel I'd feel a whole lot safer if he were proficent with a Sniper Rifle. Snipers can watch your back as you hack, shoot out that RE you had missed, end that scout with shotgun who just spawned in behind you. A decent Sniper can save your life and you probably won't even know.

Not everyone hates Snipers, It's only the AR Hotshots who hate Snipers.
