AR has the ability to rifle sprint which makes flagging with the sniper even harder, you are talking about public play where it is possible to play aggressive sniper so I'm not going to continue dissecting your argument, but do you really think game balance should depend on how easy it is to kill noobs?
I use(d) only sniper and nothing else in 1.0.4 and before, and as of the last few months. That includes matches. And I wasn't "arguing" anything. But I am now... I am not talking about public play only (though public play makes up the core of common gameplay in ANY FPS) And if I end up in a server full of noobs, even if it is a ladder and I have the opportunity to rape them and whore my ratio up, I am the type that will leave (or change to the worse team) because I like a challenge, and I'm not getting one. Yes, the AR bears the advantage of MUCH BETTER rifle sprints/jumps. That means nothing when you shoot them in the FACE. ;]
