Well, all other weapons have a range where they do optimal damage, but the sniper rifle escapes this exception...why? It can kill you no matter what the distance.
Why not have a reverse falloff: the closer a sniper is the less damage a shot does.
I cant snipe with my shotgun, so others should not be able to shotgun with their sniper.

On maps like Thieve's Den you'll see there is a decent amount of damage falloff.

Actually, snipers do have a fall off its just the maps are too small to affect the range. If the maps went back to how they were ie being larger,you would find that snipers now aren't as good as they used to be, as the falloff is quite close for the impact most carry.
