You're really really missing the point of what I said. I agree headshots are difficult; I hold simply that rewarding them in that way doesn't make the game fun and makes it more sensible in some situations to just camp.
And by the way, the same wouldn't be true if you, say, increased sniper damage to 100 (but that would be awful for other reasons). Headshots being worth 2 points is bad not because it makes sniper marginally "stronger", but because it provides a mechanic to camp and to disincentive pushing (on maps that allow heavily defensive tactics).
If you like you can fix the issue by scoring games on flags only. That would be an even better solution.
