I've heard that there's not really any maps that snipers would be useful on though. I understand some people will use them, but if they really aren't useful, I see no purpose and that's what I don't like.

I also heard that the rifles themselves have been patched beyond recognition. Bringing about the nightmarish Medal of Honor phenomenon in which unreasonable balancing ambition causes Sniper Rifles to be the pound for pound weakest weapons in the lot.

By pound for pound I mean,
1. its more cumbersome than any other weapon
2. slower fire rate than any other weapon
3. cannot defintively make shots AR's cannot
.................................................. ......and yet still doesnt do the highest bullet damage.

Kinda makes you wonder wats the point of snipers then...

I hate seeing people running around with a 70+ lb. rifle quick scoping guys off... I mean, dang a .50 cal rifle it self weighs close to 100 lbs...

I'm just saying. I'm happy about this, very happy.

Pretty much what Mr Freak said. +2!
