Yeah, I mean, you're on the move all the time, so there's no real way to set up a sniping position and camp it without getting left behind by the rest of the squad (which would be Really Bad). Besides, it's not like the zombies have officers. All I can really see a sniper being useful for in L4D is maybe setting off Boomers before they get close enough to the party for it to inconvenience them.
