the main reason why snipers should be taken off this game is because at a certain point the offense starts no longer playing together against the enemy team, but it start playing against the sniper so they can reach the enemy base.

this should be a TEAMwork game, and snipers, with the power of killing an enemy miles away, kills this teamwork and bring up the idea of individual play.

Moreover, the snipers usually (99,99% of the cases) get their kills in mid map.
this slows down the game for both offense and defense.
for the offense because they are getting shoot before getting to enemy base, if they can reach it.
and for defense because they wait much more time for the enemy offense to come.

Again on the mid map issue:
How many server allow mid mapping?
Which TF tournament(no matter if it is QTF, TFC, or FF) allow mid map defense?

Im my point of view if you are gonna allow sniper to mid map, let's just put a heavy guy at every base entrance, and a SG near the mid map bunker. And ofc some Pyros on the enemy base entrance setting every enemy offense on fire.


now put it all together and answer:
How cool is that?
not cool, that's why mid mapping is not allowed/not supported in most of the servers. and completely forbidden on tournaments unless the flag is outside of the base.


so ok, let's not take it off completely, let's allow snipers on AvD and fun maps only.
