My opinion on snipers is that they can snipe whatever and whenever they want, though I think it's a bit stupid to snipe in maps like Stalingrad, because there is too many places to cover. And if you can't defeat a sniper in Stalingrad (especially since it is small and there is usually more then one way to confront him/her), think about changing your own strategy then dissing snipers.
