sadly I am of the variety of player that when they play a game they intend to win, I just don't enjoy playing games of 16 versus 4 with 12 guys in the redline, it's not enjoyable to anyone but them, since your argument is that I shouldn't hate snipers because they are playing the game their way, my argument of wanting to play the game my way is equally valid. So you don't hate snipers, you hat redline snipers. Hear, hear! As a frontline sniper, I totally agree!

Get over it. Snipers can kick your arse as can a variety of things in the game like mass drivers, tanks, murder taxis, remote explosives, etc. Everything has a use and will always get abuse/d. Quit crying and get playing. Its a game for **** sake lol!
Woah the hostility!
I was saying that in favor of snipers, not against.

Good snipers are great, they...
1) Inform the team about enemy movements.
2) Weaken the enemy team.
3) Take out key targets.
4) Can hold 1-2 capture points.
Bad snipers are horrible, as are teams that don't realise you don't need 6-8 snipers! They make me wish friendly fire was off during every single game. |

Allow friendly fire...problem solved.
If you capture points and after a while realise you're still going to lose because more than half the team sits up on a mountain to boost their K/D ratio...well...take a shotgun and show them the light 
In Eve I was part of a corp that regularly podded corpies who pulled crap during ops. They learned quickly thanks to that  |

The redline is there to prevent spawn camping and base-****ing. If you remove the redline or de-incentivize redline play, then the people who get forced into the redline by a vastly superior team will just have that much more to contend with. Instead, ask yourselves this: when was the last time a player in the redline proved to be a meaningful contributor to his own team? It's a cautious playstyle made for people who don't want to risk, similar things exist in Eve and are vital to the health of the player base. I suspect the problem will largely vanish when PVE is introduced as it will fill that niche. In the mean time, just grin and bear it. I still spawn camp them while they are at the red line. I have all the spawn locations memorized. Some maps its uber easy to spawn camp , others not so much.

A good Nova Knifer is worth 30 snipers in my opinion. They may not get a lot of kills, but they play the objective like no one else. Ok so opinions do count, but ya cant really take into account a "good" Nova Knifer and not take into account a "good" Sniper . A good sniper who understands angles on the battlefield can be no where near an objective, but yet lock down that objective single handedly... going (6-0) in a skirmish is worth more than (15-2) if those 6 kills were against all hackers and his team was able to keep Objective C from being hacked all game...but because noone is really able to see the types of kills a sniper gets, the perception that we are useless goes overboard....I can't count how many times I have saved a teammate of mine from being killed because he wasnt aware of who was behind him, but of course he would never know that..... even better....saving a noob scout from a heavy suit, cuz he wants to take him on thinking the strafing mechanics will help him lol
Amen to that.
I may not get as many kills as the guy in CQC but I can and have locked down NULL cannons, CRUs, supply depots and choke points. I've done this semi-regularly when a group of reds fight their way to a NULL cannon and the blues have died trying to stop them.
And I'm the guy who makes the objective stop blinking after a hack begins and before it is done. I don't have to be anywhere near it. Neither does my team. A shot or two and it turns back to solid blue.
And I get to rip shields and armour off reds, so the blue CQC crowd can kill them. None of my assists are listed on the post game team stats.
And I hack.
And I run a logi rig, so I can drop uplinks for you so you can stay in the fight.
And, because I run a logi rig, I scatter REs where reds might go. I'm the mad bomber.
And I relay reports to my team when they are on comms.
And I counter snipe. I'm death in the cold mountain air.
And I nail red medics as they bend over to revive someone. Then I snipe the revived guy just to make a point.
And I'm the guy who puts a round in the red guy my blue team member downs so he can't be revived (I get no points for this). I'm the grim reaper.
And I blast the red guys with the rep tools that run behind red heavies so my team can kill the red heavies.
And I reap the drivers of LAVs when they stop to hack or get out of their vehicles. I put my scope on the headrest and wait for buddy to hop in. I'm the guy who makes orphan red LAVs for my team to hack and steal.
And I'm the guy who helps the blue tankers and LAV drivers by obliterating dancing red guys with swarm launchers.
And I'm the guy who stops reds from hacking blue vehicles when the drivers are away doing something important.
And I'm the guy who runs to a turret and uses it to blow up red CRUs.
And I'm the guy who keeps reds away from the solo blue guy hacking a red NULL cannon or CRU.
I care about how I'm doing and how my team is doing. I snipe because, to do it right, you need to multitask and do it alone. I enjoy the challenge. I don't snipe to avoid the enemy or AFK.
I don't claim to be the best at doing this stuff, nor do I claim to even be close to the best.
I'm not the dominant guy on the team and I couldn't do any of it without good support from blues.
When it works it works really, really well.
It's the best high you can get.
