Well it depends for me. I like to snipe as well but I usually always carried Scout AR or Cannon paired with a sidearm or fusion. Here I adapted to the system accordingly. I play it more like Borderlands than D1. I have a AR and Scout or vice versa. If I know I will be in CQC I carry a AR and SMG. If its mid to long I carry a Scout and SMG or Handcannon. Its all about adapting to combat.
