Redline Snipers (Why Snipers have a bad name):
The true Redline Sniper is the guy who snipes from near the initial spawn point. They are hated by the Enemy because only another sniper or a rail gun can reach them. They are hated by their own team because their poor positioning means they do not contribute much to the team’s success. Their field of fire does not cover many of the strategic objectives and at that distance they are only going to get the occasional kill when a Red stops to tie their shoe half way between objectives.

I am really hoping that CCP is careful not to create any really prime sniper positions deep in the Red Zone when doing their map layouts. They seem to be so far. I don’t want to be forced to choose between my sense of fair play and using a prime tactical position.
