A sniper shouldn't even be shooting his gun unless its a VERY important target as after the shot he'll be forced to change his spot and as such be unable to recon, call things out, and just be unable to fulfill his support dutys till he's in a new spot.
overall snipers job is not to be a killwhore, and it shouldn't be in a game ether.

They were. Trust a member of 2 tactical outfits and one of the first auraxium snipers. Just saying.

Once you get rid of them suddenly middle turns into a mad house and the game is fun again.

This statement is an exaggeration. I'm a medic there and I survive perfectly. All heals and rez's included. You see in BF you have limited amount of vehicles. The only counter to snipers except for other snipers is helicopter that usually doesn't give a fuck. In PS (especially in PS2) - 1 player = 1 vehicle. Anywhere anytime he wants it.
Thus:

The statement I tend to agree with.
