You need to be shooting them before they notice you're the enemy. As for weaponry, I like dual wielding two pistols. (And not those useless plasma ones either.) I can take out an enemy in under a second if I run up and go wild with those pistols. Also, never underestimate the power of melee attacks. (Especially from behind. Assassination!)
As for sniping, you need to be able to read how an enemy is going to move. If they are not aware of the fact you are aiming directly at them, they won't falter from their path usually. Lead their position a little and go for the headshot. And on that note, don't waste a shot by freaking out and shooting as soon as you see them. Take the little extra time to go for the headshot and end it. Once you fire and either miss or hit a limb or their torso, they'll know you're there and take evasive action. The second shot is never as easy to land. They don't need to know you're there until they are dead.
Also, position, position, position! A good sniper is one who is never seen until he fires. Don't give away your position, and don't shoot from the same place twice. Keep them guessing. Move elsewhere and shoot them in the back of the head as they go towards the spot you just shot them from 30 seconds ago.
My style of playing is like a ninja. I don't move out in the open, and I kill without being seen. My favorite weapon combination is the sniper rifle and the sword. I can instantly kill from far away, or close up. Assassinations are my forte. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]

Close combat : Stick them suckers with plasma grenades if you can, and use a duel-wield of the SMG's. Or if you can, grab the sword. Also, never stop moving. You're dead meat if you do.
Sniping : Anticipate where your target /will/ be and fire there. The bullet isnt that fast and if you time it right, it'll fly right through they're measely helmeted head. :)
