I like to find spots to flank the enemy and take out their snipers, plus as a squad leader I can run longer and faster to different spots and let my squad spawn on me to again flank the enemy. Plus as a sniper, it's pretty rewarding killing a pilot in a chopper with the barrett. It's rare, but nice.

Yeah, you
may be a moderate exception, but they're still overall worthless.
I've watched 3 games just this week where teams lost because the last guys alive were Snipers who were too wrapped up in kill-whoring to cap a point so their team could respawn (they were playing Lone Wolf as usual). They sat up in their cozy little snipe-spot and kept TRYING (not succeeding) to kill the enemy until they were hunted down and terminated with the score being somewhere in the 100s to 0.
The whole time I've been playing I think I've seen a Sniper kill a helo pilot maybe twice, and the time it took them to do it could've still been better spent capping a point, period.
