Right now in modern FPSs, snipers can dominate infantry fights. I don't want that to happen here. The trail of the tracer will make sure that snipers don't stay stationary for to long and it will make them pick their targets a bit more wisely. A good balance.
I don't want every other solider on the battlefield to be carrying a scoped rifle. That would just be no fun.

And it's not going to happen, cause believe it or not, sniping isn't exactly easy and efficient already as it is right now.
For one you have to stay covered from potential air strikes, MAXes are hardly vulnerable to sniper fire, medics can revive teammates potentially nullifying your kill, and even the more squishy targets more than often don't drop from 1 headshot.
