Um...there is a penalty for suicide. You lose a point. Whenever I see a guy with a bazooka, I just run up right to him. So if he shoots the thing, he might kill me, but he'll kill himself too.

I think anything used out of moderation can make the game less fun. When everyone is a sniper on Omaha beach it just kills the game. Either the axis are all snipers and the allies never make it up the beach, or the allies are all snipers and nobody ever comes up to try to complete the objective. Either way, it's less fun for everyone, except maybe one or two snipers that enjoy it somehow.
