"I don't agree with you. Granted, it would be nice to use the MG-42s once in a while, but if the Allies insist on sitting there sniping, all I do is run down to the beach, and kill each one of them in the boats."
You may think your helping but like some allied snipers think you're really helping the other team. The reason for this is because some allies will get past you and may reach the gun, especially those who spawn after the boats. Plus if you kill people at the boats all it does is either make THEM respawn where they were (with full health a choice of weapon and full ammo) OR closer to the guns. Either way your helping them and wasting your time by not defending the gun. One could say that you are temporarily getting rid of the snipers, but what's the point of that if they aren't threatening the cannons anyway that and all the previous stuff I said.
"They're so busy aiming, they never see us. Then of course you get people bitching about spawn camping, but where else are we to find enemies - they're all in the boats!."
Actually the enemies spawn equally as much behind the safety of the walls much closer to the bunkers.
"I know what you're saying - you want Omaha to be a truly team-based map. It will never happen on public servers. There's little you can do about it."
I think there's a lot you can do about it. Just read my suggestions

Anyhow if the system changes it will always change how people play more or less. Right now it is all about "me" not "team or win" oriented.
I have seen servers with certain mods that do have a big effect on changing the way people play, such as the no sniper rifle mod.
