Snipers aren't OP, the other weapons are just underpowered.
The reason for the annoyingly large amount of players that are choosing the sniper rifle is that the other weapons simply aren't fun to use. Choppy and slow gameplay makes the sniper rifle the weapon of choice for too many players...
If the lag and the annoying little bugs that get in the way of gunfights like getting stuck on the terrain and micro-freezes are fixed, the speed of the gameplay increased (possibly by tweaking health, fixing the lag alone would probably do a lot), suddenly the gameplay will feel much smoother and faster-paced and you will see an influx of players going back to assault rifles, SMGs, etc...
The sniper rifle is actually a pretty meh weapon...the fact that so many players are using it is a testament to how boring the game is right now. |

I find the sniper rifle more boring than basically anything else (except maybe tank turret). You sit on a hill and try to put a small dot over tiny black ants.
Check out posts 1 and 4 in the links for what I believe to be better estimations of why so many people go sniper. |

i hate the snipers cause the mechanics make it so hard to use aim for me for some reason im great when using other games sniper rifles and i am a quick scope god but something with the sensitivity and how the guns move mess my aim up, ill have to work at figuring out dust mechanics and were the problems is at. |

Oddly, I'm not particularly good at shooters in general (not BAD, but not a hardcore shooter guy), and I find the Sniper Rifle one of the HARDEST weapons to use. Of course, I suck at sniping in most games, with DUST and Brink being exceptions where, while better at other tactics, I'm not a terrible sniper. |

 Really? They are, imo, the most exciting weapon in the game, and my absolute favorite. |

snipers are not so bad you just have to know how to use them like any other gun have streanth and weakneses
smgs:close range better if you flank or have someone distract the hostiles (do NOT run at someone from the front untill you have upgraided)
hmg: are bad at long ranges better at close to mid range
ar:are good at long/mid/close range have little recoil or sway and are bad at...........I'll get back to you on that
forge guns: good for armor and long/mid range bad at close range
mass driver: better as a suport role and taking out armor using in close range will get you killed
lr: support weapon best used at long/mid range is not the best weapon at close range
snipers: good at long/mid range no out of scope crosshairs make it bad at close range( at really close range though you can shoot guys with it like a shotgun I get a kick out of doing it)
swarm launchers: av only really
I may have forgoten something but yeah there ya go

AR has no recoil/sway
SMG's are usless right now unless you use proto
LR is usless at any range
SL is usless period rest is correct |

LR is usless at any range- good laser rifles at mid to long range tears anyone apart
SL is usless period rest is correct - you are pretty much spot on
