Because all those small maps are not for sniping, sniping is something that should only be done while standing still at long range, not by walking around on small maps.

Why is it unbalanced?
Isn't the layout essentially two cliffs, two bases, and flat land?
Isn't Snipers essentially ABOUT camping? And isn't it hard to camp in the first place when everybody has snipers and knows where you are on a totally open map with little real cover from any practical spot?

Blue team has a horrible disadvantage.. Have you never played Hemorrhage before?

Same reason why Super Slayer gets party restrictions and Team Slayer doesn't.

This.

Sniping is camping. That's the whole point of Sniping somebody.

The small maps just turn into a messy abortion on Team Snipers... because the weapon isn't made for that type of combat. If you want a game type where you run around a small map and still get a metric butt-load of headshots, play SWAT. Even Team Slayer (or the pointless Super Slayer) are better for that type of gameplay than Snipers is.

All of this makes me realize... OP has no clue about what Sniping really is. And that's sad...

There shouldn't be much camping on that map unless everyone is bad. Back when I played, my team just pushed up to the edge of their base and spawn killed. Different than camping because there is really no where else for you to go except, well, back off and camp while you wait for them to leave there base. They can't both be camping.

For the same reason Pinnacle and Uncaged were removed from SWAT without replacement maps: the other place does a half-assed job of listening to what the community at large want, instead listening to the fanboys on their forums.

I like hemmorage as A sniper map, Yes even though Blue team has a disadvantage I take that as a challenge.

It's a video game. Good god. Realistic is boring when it comes to video games.

Because there is nothing fun about snipers on reflection, which ends up with people either getting in situations where they double melee or have close range sniper battles.

While it's true that Blue Team has a slight disadvantage on the map for Team Snipers, it doesn't make it unbalanced. It's still perfectly plausible for Blue Team to win at it, they just have to not be stupid. Blue side also has a few good spots to take advantage of, so it's really not that bad.

If two highly-skilled teams are about equal, it makes a world of difference. Imbalance like that shouldn't be in the game.

I rant so much about this. Red side has a HUGE advantage.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Cause a sniper is.....a sniper. Not a shotgun or a silly no-scoping spree. If you want to run out in the open be my guest.
