I am sure that this discussion has been done to death but I have a new thought.

When you are a sniper you have a distinct advantage out in the open, but when you start fighting in the bunkers/hallways you are SCREWED.
I think we should keep snipers because the team has to make a wise decision as to how many snipers to have. Too many snipers and you get your ass kicked in the bunkers. Too few snipers and you never get off the beach.

Personally, I think 1 sniper for 5-10 regular men is about right. If half or more people are snipers it gets f$&@ing ridiculous.
