I went sniper for one round ever and I got two infiltrator pins in it. BF2142 hasn't killed the sniper even though sniping is not as beneficiary to your team as really anything else.

I don't really play Sniper too often, but when I do, it's like I've been doing it since I was 5. It is just so easy to me. I can get like 25-30 kills in a round with just a sniper rifle easy.

That's a player's fault and not the kit's. As I've said before, when you take out apm mines and detpacks without casualty, you will have utility to a squad.

I think sniping on this game is good, Its so statisfying to headshot someone. Just sitting on a water tower and watching the fight below.

People make snipers useless.

That's why there are people like me who keep the legacy alive by actually doing something for the team.

If you're going to be useful to the entire team/squad as a sniper, you need to do at least one of the following:

--Rack up massive kills with the sniper, to the point where the enemy screams 'I'm not fucking going out there, I just watched three guys' heads get blowed off!'  For me, an average round might end with me killing 20-30 guys, most of them with the sniper rifle.

--Carry APM's and RDX to cover your squads ass when defending a flag

--Act as a spotter to point out long-distance threats (VOIP or comma rose) and eliminate the biggest threats to your squad, if at all possible...basically keep them covered.

I have to admit when I first started out playing 2142 I wasn't sure I'd get on with sniping like i did on BF2 but it's just the same for me now. Scope sway isn't an issue if you aim and shoot fast, the cross-hair hasn't had a chance to move so it makes no difference to the shot, so no the sniper isn't dead in 2142 (unless I'm aiming at them )
