Pft. Your
opinion. You're wrong, just like the last 50 times the same thing was said, but you are dead right that 16 snipers is a sure recipe if you want to lose. In a 32-player server two, maybe three is about right for most of the game, until you get into a standoff situation where sniping comes into its own.

Sure there easy kills....
Only because they weren't playing appropriate to their kit (plus of course they didn't have
any medics). As a sniper I'd say the same thing about easy kills with any unarmoured class if I were engaging at 70+ metres, and if the server response is good less than that.
FWIW I'm not that good but currently, playing almost entirely as sniper my SPM, KDR and KPR ain't too shabby. I wonder what yours would be playing assault

medics- Revive other players...Save tickets...heal players.
Snipers- huh throw claymores around?
True about the importance of medics. But...
Flags = life.
Flag defence = necessary, important.
Ergo claymores used for this purpose = good.
Looking at your stats you're obviously too busy getting all those lovely revive points to capture or defend flags huh? That's why my flag points are so much higher than yours. And although mine WLR is inflated it's also a reason mine is higher than yours... playing without benefit of mates to squad up with.

Sniper: Worthless.
My KDR > yours. My SPM is nearly the same as yours (probably a lot higher for recent play). And you call those flag points? I'm not that good; so what does that make you worth?

But anyway...Medics (the ones with the IQ above that of a retarded worm) Are team players...
Yeah, and so are good snipers dude (ditto for any class)!

Actually I've singlehandedly been the guy at the right place at the right time and saved a team from losing by capping a sole flag for us to spawn at. Any kit can do this of course but the point is you can as sniper, and with claymores perhaps a little better than some others.

I would say most snipers are not very good. A sniper ratio tells you that.
It's quite true that lots of sub-par players go sniper for various reasons, so it may be accurate to say that most snipers are not very good*. But KDR is only one stat of a few that need to be considered in unison to make a meaningful assessment of a player's contribution... SPM/KPM
in relation to KDR, team points/flag points and so on.
*But let's face it: most players, period, aren't very good.

Now now, you've given your secret away already so there's no point in trying to maintain that persona.

Nah
I play in a slightly different way than you because my reflexes aren't as good and my hardware ain't really up to it but I do
okay.

Not nearly buddy.
And for all you noobejectors: nice goal in life to suck as a person.
