Getting in close negates a Sniper's advantage if you can approach them from behind.
At range, you need a Tactical AR or your own Sniper. Or a teammate counter-sniping for you while you deal with enemies in close. |

Really? You sure about that?
Carlos Hathcock: 95 kills verified
Simo H+ñyh+ñ: 505 sniper kills verified before Hathcock was even born.
Pretty sure he's never held that record. |

Most of the time snipers are not contributing anything towards the objectives.
A good sniper providing overwatch across a couple of objectives that are controlled by your team can force the enemy to go hunting for the sniper before they're able to go for the objectives.
I'm pretty sure keeping enemies away from an objective is a useful function. |

My self and a buddy do this in BF3, you would not believe the amount of people you can pull away from a battle when you annoy them with the sniper rifle. you don't even have to kill anyone just take a few pot shots and they'll come looking, this great fun!
It's what my girlfriend does too.
She's a SCARY person to fight sometimes.
But get behind her, or into effective AR range when she's busy taking a shot somewhere else and she's a pretty easy target.
Snipers are vulnerable once they've been spotted. SOME PEOPLE need to learn how to counter them effectively. |

And a good sniper can shoot you out of the driver's seat while you try. |

Militia Sniper Rifle - unmodded and with no Weaponry Skill or other damage buffs - vs. Militia Scout Suit - ALSO unmodded BUT with a few points to Mechanics (+15% to +25% Armour HP) - will be impossible to get a one hit kill.
Also worth mentioning, the best counter for snipers is TEAMWORK.
If you're getting picked off, bring a couple of your own snipers - but NOT the whole team. Too many snipers will be a liability, just like having none when the other team is sniping can be a liability. |

WT Sherman.... another **** YEAH, Stars and Stripes waving, BOOYAH, Yankee.... When I find you.... I will KILL you  real life threat. please turn yourself in to nearest police station before they bring you in ;)
And you know he didn't intend to track the guy down and kill him in-game? I'd say it's rather obvious, given the use of the character's name rather than the actual player's name or even PSN ID, that it's a threat towards the (easily cloned) in-game character and not the person. |
