How much richness and depth sniping adds to an objective-based game mode.
Personally, I'm astounded. Six, seven blue-dots intently watching something from far, far away. It's quite the thing.
KDR matchmaking would patch all the patches into pure patchitudity.

Oh to then see them all tk'd in fw for not taking part 
Nothing grates on me more than seeing only 2-3 blues in the hotzone trying to push, and everyone else on the perimeter. If they were actually any good at sniping, wouldn't be a problem...

It would be a problem anyways since the only way snipers can get kills is with a ton of damage mods. Would be nice if they could get a headshot instead of pumping tons of bullets at someone. And whole team of snipers is no credit to team

The vast majority of snipers would be more useful to their teammates if they flung themselves at the enemy and served only as a temporary meat shield near a point.
In a few situations, however, they can be very pesky and daresay even useful -- but that generally is the exception to the rule. |

I'm the Sniper's worst nightmare. If I get sniped, out comes the STD sniper (for the larger clip, only reason I don't use mlt), and pop pop pop, three snipers down. Always headshots. If you can't kill someone with a sniper in one shot, don't use the gun.

Yesterday I found a sniper on my team just firing away. One shot after the other. we were redlined at this point.
I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt so I checked the board
Nope no kills no wp
I lined up re's on him anyway. He looked around confused when I detonated them

Snipers should be held to 20 or so bullets maximum, requiring a visit to a ReSup to reload.

I have no respect, if such a thing exists in a video game, for snipers or tankers.
I am a child of 1.7, so my vitriol towards tankers is self evident. It will never change.
But snipers: it's boring, cowardly, and does nothing to help your team.
When mercs are getting stomped, what do many turn to? Sniping.
That tells you everything you need to know.

I have a calmando with two SRSRs. The nice thing is the PG fitting is halved in exchange for a longer reload. I just reload while I am making my way to the next overlook.

Heavies don't die in one shot, atleast not to my tactical. Takes 2-3 headshots for me |

Actual, a sniper spotter pair is the basis of modern infantry sniping. However, grabbing a sniper rifle doesnt automatically make one a sniper anymore than grabbing a rep tool makes one a logi. I know a small number of scary good snipers and they dont even need to use a bunk thales.

I disagree.
:V Snipers just need to be "persuaded" to not snipe when it's not the best thing they could be doing. Some maps make well positioned snipers critical to winning. Taking out mercs as they hack objectives, taking out weakened mercs who survived a confrontation, etc. Those maps that focus on CQC and mid-range combat are the best at that because the sniper ends up not being able to do crap at all except look out the scope.
:V We can do away with tankers, let's just keep the tanks. J/K

I meant more, 2 snipers don't sit in the same spot, working as part of a team on comms spotting is obviously a good idea

Ah, the obligatory sniper hate thread. Therefore, I will continue to sip my beer while I snipe from the redline. Why? Because the worst part of this game is the tryhards who want to myopically focus on the easiest, quickest way to win sans any flavor, context or fun.
This game is a kiddie target practice console game. What are you really winning anyway? It's like the guy at the carnival shooting gallery b*tching about not winning the stuffed toy.
Death is a serious business. So is running a shoddy, half-baked game company.

True commited snipers are useful. Top of the Z pipe or main tower in a certain Dom map dropping on the point getting VERY annoying? no problem -- he'll keep it clear.
Open objective? No worries -- anyone tries to hack he will headshot them. Fewer defenders needed and more for assaulting.
Rooftop campers? They won't be up there long.
The problem is -- there are very few very good commited snipers in game. ;P

My Cal assault disagrees with the rooftop camping. I regen much too fast for them. You have to make sure you have ample cover unless you're an idiot.

The right rifle and stacked damage mods sees your medium frame and raises you a OHK headshot.

Headshot modifier is super high. Get a super high damage sniper, get damage mods, only go for headshots. or 1 head followed by a body. Stops most players -- but at the VERY least keeps them too busy to shoot down at people. Also good for destroying uplinks ;)
