Because FF servers usually have spiteful little jerks who want to drive everybody away from the server by team-killing everyone they see. This is the main reason why the only FF servers out there are password-protected.

I agree with Siggi about the CPR mod. I've been on both the giving and receiving end of the "half-clip turnaround", and to me it's cheap Q3 arcade action. I play the CPR mod because you have to be more careful with where you move, and where you look, simply due to the fact the weapons can kill you sooner than with the default MP settings. I've been killed by newbies while playing the CPR mod but that was only because of my carelessness. Some people's egos can't handle getting killed by a beginner, and thus I believe is part of the reason why many refuse to play on servers using the CPR mod.

With the CPR mod you can pretty much kiss circle-strafing goodbye, and the run-and-gun Q3/UT carryovers just don't enjoy having to play a game where everything you do has to be done with more care.

But, I'll play as a sniper on either CPR or Default. I won't matter to me when I use this rifle because opponents die just the same either way. 1-shot kills as they cross the street.
