FPS With the Least Annoying Snipers

I hate BC2 hardcore BECAUSE of snipers...

Oh, well, I don't play hardcore, all that means is shit does more damage and no HUD, because, who the fuck needs to know how much ammo they have?

I dunno about MNC having weak snipers. I got the 25-killstreak achievement using Sniper, and although it was on the free weekend and thus most of the enemy team was bad, it definitely says something about the class's potential.

It's capable of being extremely defensive but still pretty good at offense when the situation calls for it. Exploding rounds completely rips through bot waves, flak does heavy damage to turrets/firebases and forces defenders/campers to move or die, and traps utterly fuck up sins who act too hastily when coupled with sniper grapple (which, by the way, is great for knocking a ton of health off a Jackbot). Hell, even the traps can be offensive when upgraded; I've used them to screw people over by dropping them behind my escape route after retreating from a juicing at the enemy base. All this is possible even if you're terrible at aiming and can get no headshots--And then if you can, while also consistently doing all of the above, Sniper's not going to be on the lower end of the scoreboard anymore.

So is it fair to say BC2 is more vehicle-heavy than BF2?

Where did you get that idea?

So is that a no?

Yes, that is a no.

If you can't play bc2 on hardcore because of snipers then that's weak sauce because teams with full snipers will almost always loose due to them holding back for position. The opposing team just gathers the points and objectives and wins seen it way to many times.
