End rabble. Anyone know what I mean?
(unless the sniper is extremely attentive)

Attentive is extremely my style. I pick off every sucker I can, especially in areas that I think my companion might want to go to.
But, I do know what you mean. I hate it when people moan about sniping as if it is some illegitimate means of killing your foe. I am, for instance, probably the world champion basecamper. On levels with bases, I absolutely own, and get in far more kills than anyone else (usually about 40 - 50 more kills). But people shunn this method as though being good at the game immediately somehow means that you are doing something illegit.
Running around with the rocket launcher at point blank, although extremely cowardly, is just as legitimate as spawn camping. Any good player would be able to knock out a spawn camper, and break the cicle, with the right weapons and movements. And to be honest, if it's possible to do it without entering a cheat code, or using a hack, then it's legit. As much as we all hate spawn campers, because they make the game harder, lets face it, we would just as soon do it to our opponent, as they would do it to us.
I think the only reason we hate these people, is because they are amassing kills and wins, faster than you know you can win back - it's a kind of spoiled brat syndrome suffered only by the most aggressive and driven players. Although we are a very confrontational breed of warrior, we hang onto the phrase "Nice guys come last".
