Sniper class has always been the game-breaking class in any game. It takes time to get used to it, but when everything clicks, the shots will make the whole game unfair. In Space Marine 2, the Sniper class is overpowered, if you find a decent spot in the game, you can fend off the strong enemies from a distance making it unfair to the brutes taller than your Titus.
