I tend to play the mod for Battlefield 2 called "Project Reality" and, in that, I usually play a sniper or some sort of vehicle operator. In gametypes (like Insurgency), good snipers really come in handy. We can call out possible cache or hideout locations, or take down high priority targets (Read: Gunners on technicals, insurgents with snipers/RPGs/LMGs/etc). In the regular AAS (Advance and Secure) mode, snipers are good for doing the same things plus tracking the movements of enemy vehicles and so on from a secure and concealed location.
So, yeah. Good snipers are a great addition to any team if they know their primary task (eliminating targets of importance and providing intelligence) and aren't just K/D whores.
