Sniping really worth the frustration?

So I've been sniping with the barret on Kill Confirmed long enough to get it to gold on my 3rd prestige, and the more I snipe the more it feels like it's just not worth the effort. With my P90 I can just run around the map all game and end up with 15+ kills even playing poorly, but with the sniper rifle you have to be PERFECT every single second just to stay positive. Every missed shot is generally a death sentence, and unless the enemy team is mentally handicapped you can't really rake in large volumes of kills. I still can't QS on command and close quarter kills are more blind luck than anything else.

 

If nothing else the one thing the sniper has is that getting kills with it is probably the most satisfying thing (to me) in the game. Every across the map headshot brings on that moment of "wow, that was awesome" that you really don't get out of any other gun. So to all the other snipers out there, do you think it's worth the frustration of constantly practicing and getting better with the sniper rifle even when you never match up to the guy running around with an ACR or a P90?

    there are very few maps I would consider sniping map to begin with in mw3. plus sniping in KC isn't really the best option since you have to get that tag, and as much as love getting those end to end snipes, there no way in hell I'm all the way across the map for one tag. It's better to run a cqc class pick up tags than run a long range one hope for best

    Is it worth the effort? It is if you get bored sh*tless with all the unoriginal BS classes you see every game none-stop. AR's are OMFG easy mode. SMG's too. And LMG's. And after a certain amount of time, Snipers too. This game has zero challenge to it. That's not me acting cocky, it's just stating a fact. They designed it so that even the worst kind of player possibly imaginable, can go 54-0.

     

    Me? I run around like a maniac in SND with C4 and a Desert Eagle.

    Just keep practicing. And you can do as well with a sniper as you can an AR or SMG, some of my best scores have been with snipers.
