Reason: Because it's making the game bad. And you should feel bad.
Supporting theory: Newbs with access to a sniper rifle tend to lead to redlining. They get their heads kicked in in the first five mins, try to respawn and realize there are no objectives open. Next thing they do is grab a sniper rifle and go hide in the mountains. And they do it in large numbers every game. The sniper class is one of the most abused classes in every FPS game ever made. "Man, I'm way negative, better pull out this stock sniper rifle I have no attachments/mods for and see if I can't even it up." Meanwhile, his teammates are getting crushed due to lack of support and the opposing team ain't scoring anything either because there's less opposition. The biggest problem is that it makes the game LESS FUN. It's less of a battle.
If you remove the sniper starter gear from guys that are Sentinels and Enforcers, I think this will go a long ways towards cutting down on newb snipers.
Disclaimer: Snipers can be useful. I had the opportunity to play with three guys all Friday night and that's all they did for the most part. They were pretty good at it and more importantly, they were actually able to set objectives for me (frago for you MAG players) and we all scored more points. Also, they realized their FIRST duty was to counter snipe. On no game before have I seen where snipers are as useful than DUST. So I'm not saying eliminate the sniper class, just quit handing them out like candy to every Tom, ****, and Harriet that logs into the game. If you're complaining about people switching to free sniper fitting once their team is already redlined, I can't see your point really. What else do you expect them to do? Keep pushing and go 0-20?
The problem isn't a free sniper fitting. The problem is that it's so easy to lock down the other team's main spawn(s), so they have no chance of getting out of their spawn.
If you're complaining about redline snipers in general, I still don't see your point. The solution isn't to remove the free sniper fitting. The solution is to prevent people from being able to redline snipe. Currently you can sit in the redline and see most of the map without any risk whatsoever. If you're sitting in your redline and sniping you should have a very limited view (or even no view at all) of the battlefield.
