That's because snipers are scum of the earth.
Yes, yes we are.
I don't mind snipers nearly as much as I did in COD. At least the bullet-drop makes cold-bore shots harder to pull off. Also, Battlefield 3 is NOT a game where you want to stay stationary in, unless your team is somewhat competent and can keep enemies from getting past the frontline. Even then, enemy snipers and aircraft are still a constant threat.
I rarely snipe, but I do use the M39 EMR with either a 4x scope or IR/thermal. It makes spotting and killing enemies at medium distance a breeze. I also don't understand why so few people spot enemies. Personally, I find it one of the most helpful things a teammate can do, next to reviving others and passing out ammo. Even then, those too seem to be few and far between.
