Well I assume they complain because they get killed a lot... I've never found a problem with them... snipers are generally easy to kill. Other people have problems.mb16 said:
I think placing a restriction on the number of people using the same class in each game might be a better idea.
Or maybe people could design lobbies like they did in Graw 2 (a system that I love), and allow the host to customize the game to his/her heart's desire.

I never had any sniper problems, besides the ones in MW2 who run around with the Intervention and quick-scoping everyone at point blank range.
There is no real "solution". Your idea is good, it's just that the sniper is there for the tactical level It adds to games. The problem is that people learn to effective use such a high range and often high power weapon without using the cumbersome scope, making it abusable. Not to add more praise too It but TF2 changing their rifle to gain power with scoping over time solved that for the most part.
I knew there was a sniper infestation, but there's also a spray and prey and a light machinegunner infestation.. I hate automatics more than ANY kind of sniper, because snipers need time. Automatics don't.
Myself, I am a shotgunner ^^ cheap, and a effective.

On BFBC2, they actually tend to be a problem, atleast in Rush mode. Now the game type is about advancing as an attacker and defending spots as a defender. I fail to see how an attacking team full of snipers is of any use. I mean you can shoot the enemy team, but since defenders have infinite spawns and the attackers don't, you'll eventually lose those lives. The only way to get more lives is by destroying positions. And destroying spots can be difficult if nobody is doing it, but instead sitting on their asses spawnkilling random enemies. So yes, snipers can be a problem, but mainly to your own team.dathwampeer said:
Why would anyone want to play no snipers? I can understand no killstreaks, or no explosives, but snipers? Really? Sniping is usually the only thing in FPS games that takes any amount of actual skill.
I always thought Americas Army had a clever way of going about this problem. As more people joined the match additional squads would open up.
You started with the first rifle team then a sniper team would become available, if those filled up then it would repeat. There were 2 full fire teams( 2 riflemen, 1 grenadier and 1 machine-gunner) and 2 sniper teams( 1 sniper and 1 riflemen), so at any one time there were only 2 of each of the special weapons on either side. At the beginning of each match positions were picked based on your game points and your honor points(a kind of leveling/griefer tracking system). Weapons did not carry over between games.
So your better players got first pick at the special weapons, but a new player could progress and do well enough to select them or pick them off fallen players.

This problem is news to me. I like to snipe, it gives me a chance to hunt certain people. I only really have Modern Warfare 2 to do this with though. But I don't really see the problem, most people can't shoot for shit with a rifle and half the people who start off using them change after a couple easy kills. That's why you can often see people who couple their rifle with One Man Army.
