There isn't much point in actually sniping because it takes more than 1 shot to kill a person unless you hit them in the head. It's much more effective to run around with iron sights/red dot and play the class like assualt. Recon seemed more useful in BC2 where they could call in mortar strikes, toss out motion tracker balls and use C4.

I play as recon and sometimes top the leaderboard - top 5 for sure. I throw out a TUGs for spotting which earns good points if you find a good area. Also if you're having trouble getting one shot kills - move to the 1st gun, the MOD which has ok power and can take guys down with a couple shots which is more than easy enough to do. I find even if I don't get a one shot kill - I wound them so much I usually get close to full points for the assist when someone finishes him off.
