Well, not only did the Sniper playlist screw things up, but adding BRs as a starting weapon on virtually every game, other than Team Duals, makes the Sniper rifle's value slightly less. Unless you are a fucking God with the Snipe, if you have two or even one person shooting long range BRs at you and strafing, it's damn hard to kill him with the Sniper...
Now, everyone that plays with me knows that I never pick up the Snipe. I always let Gruesome, Glory, Sue, etc. pick it up because they are better than me with it. I like sticking with the Sniper too, and protecting him from oncoming opposing players, especially since a lot of the time is spent in Zoom mode and you can't see approaching players on your radar.
It's definitely good to protect the Sniper and let the good Sniper actually pick it up. Now, if we could get more people to actually PLAY, that would be another thing. I can't wait for summer when everyone is home from college and there is no excuse not to jump on Live!
