Its not selfish if u kill the enemies before they can even land a shot at your teamies
A good sniper on my team is great, but I never like the ones that kill me.
The class doesn't really suit my play style, I like to be in the thick of the action.

To play medic well you can't be too concerned about K/D ratios and such. Medic is more of a selfless class than the rest. I'd say sniper would rank as the most selfish class of the lot. We do however need all classes playing if you want to win the match.
Snipers should be spamming motion sensors.

If you're the defending team in rush mode you really shouldn't be worried about your K/D ratio.

Snipers are mostly a bunch of selfish idiots. They definitely have their use and it can be a fun kit, but why for the love of whoever, can they not use their @*&$%# motion mines?? It's free score if someone kills a enemy in it's radius.
My favourite thing where snipers *@#$ up is with their mortar. Is it so difficult to drop mortar on a bombsite AFTER, please note AFTER the fucking thing is armed? But no, I constantly get nailed by friendly mortar while arming the damn thing.
I also suspect that many snipers are not the cleverest of creatures alive. When 75% of a team is sniping on attack, how in the moer do you expect to win? Or are they not playing to win?
This reminds me of a spoof interview I read recently. Will go find it quickly and post it here.

BFBC2: Self absorbed snipers
Written by Jock
Sunday, 04 July 2010
Today, BASHandSlash.com brings you an up-close and personal interview with Shisty, aka SnotNose, the BFBC2 "Self-Absorbed Sniper".
BS: SnotNose, Thanks for sitting down and talking to us today about being a Recon Class player. Um, may I call you Snot for this interview?
SnotNose: It's your dime. By the way, I resent being called a Recon Class player.
BS: Oh. What do you prefer?
SnotNose: Scope or sniper. I don't do "recon".
BS: Well, as a "scope", Snot, you don't seem to be team-focused. You never take objectives or, for that matter, move much out of your position. You rarely score above the lower third in any game and more often you are on the losing end of most rounds. However, you are highly representative of a sniper sub-class that seems to be multiplying in BFBC2 pubs all across the community. Why are there are so many fellow snipers that seem to want to emulate your philosophy?
SnotNose: There's more to my game than simple stats, Jock. I play with a focused, self-interested detachment that excludes everyone around me. I'm a "self-absorbed Sniper" dude. It's an attitude that seems to appeal to many players.
BS: But isn't BFBC2 a team game?
SnotNose: Not if you don't let it be one.
BS: I don't understand.
SnotNose: It's all the way you look at things. For example, road-kill could be Filet-Mignon if you concentrated hard enough. Some people think that BFBC2 is a team-oriented FPS game, but my brain just blocks out the people around me. I've had this since I was a teen. I think it's a medical thing. It's as though they weren't there. For others, it takes a bit of practice. A good "S-A" sniper can turn any objective-based game into Death Match. It's all about focus and clearly, there are many that appreciate this outlook on the game.
BS: What's the key to your lack of success? Specifically, your strategy on the attack?
SnotNose: I form an empty squad with just me in it and then lock it so no one can join. Once I spawn into game, I usually just find a rock with a nearby shrub at the far end of my spawn and snipe infantry or call in arty onto slow moving armor. The shrub is the key.
BS: That's it?
SnotNose: Yup.
BS: You don't move up? Or try and support the offense? How do you expect to win if you don't move forward?
SnotNose: Quite honestly, "moving up" is for suckers. I think I'm having a successful game if I don't move my sniping-ass two feet. To be honest, I don't even have my "W" key bound to anything. Winning for me is getting headshots and a bitchin' K/D ratio.
BS: Speaking of tactics, do you have any good "spots" you can tell us about.
SnotNose: Number one, you can never be "too far" from the action. Second, if I can't find a rock with a shrub in my spawn, the next best thing is to hide behind a medic. They're slow and that red beret makes them a good target. The medic is usually the first guy people shoot anyway, so this is a good tactic.
Another tip is to huddle together with fellow snipers on rocks overlooking the other team. If there are say, six or seven other snipers with you, the odds that someone will shoot you are really low.
BS: What gun do you use?
SnotNose: The GOL with 12x magnification and magnum ammo. That spells pwnage.
BS: Do you use a spotting scope?
SnotNose: Do fishermen tell other fishermen, where the fish are? No. Of course not. Why would I give you the exact whereabouts of all my fish? Those are my fish. My fish.
BS: Um. Good point. I guess you're not exactly a team player, are you?
SnotNose: I like to think that I'm following the first rule of FPS gaming: self preservation. I'm looking out for Snot.
BS: How many snipers should you have on a team?
SnotNose: One. Me.
BS: If you had to choose any other class/position what would it be?
SnotNose: Other than Ron Jeremy's stunt double, no question: UAV pilot. No chance of dying and you can take out tanks with a hellfire. Firing Gustavs at infantry from deep inside concrete buildings is also cool.
BS: Is there one class of players you especially have trouble against?
SnotNose: Not really. I usually just get "selfd" a lot.
BS: Selfd?
SnotNose: I suicide myself rather than giving someone the satisfaction of fragging me. It's all part of the self-absorbed philosophy.
BS: Do you have any role models? Anyone you have looked up to that has influenced your play?
SnotNose: Jay Leno of course. Britney Spears...she gave up her kids for her career. That's something I can relate to. And maybe Christopher Reeve, before he fell off his horse.
BS: Not really what I was looking for, but that was insightful. Thanks for talking to us.
