Blame Recon for loss, Sniper are useless and yet we see thread after thread asking for more nerfs.
Example Scope Glint - Is to remain and now there is no passive spotting or audio spotting and even active spotting is harder to do at distance, however glint is kept to make it easy to spot a sniper on a hill.
We have players asking for the Flare Gun to be removed and other asking for all spots to be remove while at the same time arguing against the remove of scope glint.
Then they have the gall to whine about Snipers being useless.
Snipers will always be useless because a class whose main goal is to be a coward and get occasional kills from across the map cannot work in a mode where you constantly need to be aggressive and cap flags
Remove their sniper rifles,give them tools for capping like more detection tools or spawn tools and they will stop being the losers or battlefield
Why is it that those that typically comment negatively on snipers either can’t aim or have zero to no recon service stars. Has anyone else witnessed this amazing phenomenon. On a serious note… I love the fact that this topic is already getting such heated attention before the games even out. Xoxoxo
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the recon class. Players just need to realize that they do have a role to play on the Battlefield. I could complain that Medics do not revive and so are useless, but we all know that is not true. It is the player that plays the Medic who is not fulfilling the role of the Medic class.
That’s not a problem with the sniper class being useless, that’s a problem with people who use sniper rifles being worthless.
I regularly play the objective while using sniper rifles in past BF games, and I’ll do so in BF1 as well. It’s an amazing tool for getting your team to an objective quickly using spawn beacons, as well as taking out unsuspecting vehicles via said respawn beacon.
Just because PEOPLE use them in a way that isn’t contributing to the objective doesn’t mean the class is “useless” in that regard. There are people who use sniper rifles while contributing directly to the team effort - they shouldn’t be stunted just because you don’t like camping bushwookies.
Are you serious? Have you never heard of aggressive sniper players? There are quite a few of us (on BL I was in a platoon made up entirely of them), and we can effectively use sniper rifles in CQB situations to cap bases.
Sees 4 flag caps
Forgets to mention the fact that the other team was being pubstomped in terms of team performance
Forgets to mention the fact that I got nearly 50 kills running around with a bolt-action
Forgets to mention I got a 700+ SPM and was still MVP without camping
Sorry, but camping snipers don’t get 50 kills in a match, and the majority of them can’t even break 25% accuracy. Implying I’m not aggressive is stupid.
I directly support the team every game I play, yet I’m worthless because I use a sniper rifle? Seriously, grab some logic on your next trip to the Bull store.
There is no reason to use a sniper rifle if you going to play cqb.You obviously do it so you can boast about your unorthodox playstyle bit the fact is that you should rather use a carbine.Sniper rifles promote camping and not playing the objective.
I barely even bring up the fact that I use sniper rifles unless said thread is directly about sniper rifles. You know…like this thread.
I’m better with sniper rifles than I am with carbines by a mile - carbines suck. It doesn’t always boil down to what weapon you think is best and that other people will perform better with. I don’t need a weapon capable of spraying and praying - I’m accurate enough to use a sniper rifle and still be effective in CQB, that’s not a brag, that’s just a truth that NEEDS to be expressed when almost EVERYONE in this dull *** community will accuse you of being a camper simply because you LIKE using sniper rifles, and, like you, will call you worthless no matter how much you contribute to the team effort, even if you cap the most objectives and are MVP for the match.
Use a carbine.They dont suck,they have 0.3 sec ttk with bodyshots compared to having to shoot the head,or 2 second ttk with bodyshot and switch to pistol.There is literally absolutely no scenario where a bolt is better in cqb except if you can 100% hit the head every time and never miss,and always facing one opponent
We’ll use whatever we want to use. Go play something else if you’re just going to be a crybaby elitist.
It’s a god damn war game series. They’re not going to be removing snipers at any point in the future regardless of how much whining you class elitists do.
God why is it so hard to get simple logic across when you’re dealing with edgelord teenagers?
Lol so much salt.That was my opinion on what the game should do.If you disagree,just ignore my posts and keep being a wookie.No need to get angry even though you are on your period
