I do think the sniper is a tad underpowered to be honest.
In the past, it had the (unfair) advantage of headshotting when you shoot above the shoulders. Combined with the fact that all the other guns were pretty weak (maybe except the noobmachinegun), it made it teh king.
Now, on the other hand...
this bug got fixed (so no more easy headshots and unfair advantage), but IN ADDITION TO THIS every other gun got better AND the damage was lowered. The combination of these makes it feel a tad weak IMO... though I still do like it.
The pistol is awesome as it is IMO don't change that... but now that the "headshot bug" has been fixed I think the sniper -at very least- deserves its extra 5pt damage back to make things fair.
Also, I honestly don't think the shotty or AR are overpowered at all. The shotgun is still fairly useless at longer ranges, yes it's better at medium-range combat but the SMG still pwns there. The AR and SMG are now more or less the same overall, the AR is more accurate and all but the SMG still has the big bonus of making your opponent's screen go all funkyshiz when you spray at their faces, not to mention the now ridiculously easy handling (I likes). Carbine is quite handy in pubs, though I've got the *feeling* that it's got the same problem as shotty/AR of before... no good for competitive play.
