That's how it worked in Planetside and that's how it will always work and is never meant for completing the primary objectives directly.

That's the exact point. Snipers are NOT as crucial to teamwork, as medics, engis, and even maxes and cloakers are. That's why sniping is useless. But, idd, if there're objectives that require open field capture in PS2 (like a resource node or something in the middle of an open field), snipers can become more vital to the cause.
But if that happens we're going to get loads of whine saying "OMG, I can't reach target, because I wasn't taught to strafe, nerf sniping asap, it's OP!".
