Disagree.
Just because sniping is fun doesn't mean you have to put snipers on the map. That would be extremely unbalanced.
Agreed. The fact that you (you being the one who brought up the need for a sniper), as a near professional sniper, would be comfortable sniping on this map does not mean the the sniper should have a map, nor that the map was designed to handle a sniper. DMRs will likely be the primary ranged weapon on Riptide, with most players handling an Assault Rifle and Magnum.
The shotgun will be useful on the close-quarter catwalks and the rocket launcher will be essential in storming bases and dominating chaotic platform, in addition to generating some commotion itself.
On another note, you compared Jurkout/Riptide with Guardian. That is your mistake. Because these are different games where players take damage differently and the sniper rifle behaves in a different way. Even if you were a pro in the beta, it was likely tweaked since. So your fine-tuned sniping instincts that have been refined to the merciless carnage-engine that is halo three are not to be credited in a discussion about a game that, lets face it, you have no solid experience in.
