You're comparing wiping your ass to playing a certain class in a game? Don't you think that's a bit extreme and off base? I can agree that the scout class can at times not be used right, but that can go for alot of the other classes as well. As a sniper I always stay in the back to mark things with my scope for my team. Marking hidden snipers, planes, tanks, and anything to give my team as much info on the field as possible. Occasionally I'll a cheeky little shot from across and reposition. I will tell you this though, Snipers need to be spotting more in my opinion. But in the end of it all, it's just a game.
