This game was designed for ridiculous long range warfare. Not only because of hill headshot hunters:
Medics with their super accurate DMRs
Newbie snipers lying on the hills, far away from objective (seriously, you guys think you’re more save up there?)
Supports with their buffed LMG playing like scouts - last time i saw 3 support guys lying on Fao fortrece near E and killing guys on B!
Map design - mostly big, open spaces with rare impediments. Choosing the assalut class on Sinai Desert for example is mostly a suicide.
And in last patch DICE decided to nerf a little a hellreigel, the only weapon witch has a chance against medics and supports. Yesterday on Sinai Desert I get a light tank and it was like cheating - 47 killstreak. Because I’m so good? No. Because in enemy team was only 3 or 4 assaults. There was simply not enought people with necessary gadgets to take me down. In my opinion it’s really ruining the immersion.
Honestly I’ve barely seen any camping snipers. Maybe like 2-3 from my team in my last mat, and that is not exaggeration. And I use medic and the DMRs, but I aggressively play with it. Great guns.
Camping as a sniper is not as east as it looks. That scope glint is like a homing beacon for every enemy player. The big maps have lots of vehicles. Quit running dumaus…
This is what makes battlefield, battlefield. Go play TDM or go back to cod if you don’t like big maps.
Is it just me or to the maps feels a lot slimmer/more narrow in BF1 than most BF games?
Maps like Suez and Monte Grappa, it’s really difficult to break out of a spawn trap because there’s nowhere to go.
On Grappa, unless there is a plane or vehicle available, you’re stuck trying to break out of a valley ON FOOT surrounded by snipers on both sides. Same thing with the sand dunes on Suez. Snipers galore and the game turns into a not-so-fun sniper trap.
Some of the BF1 maps so narrow, they’re like a camping sniper’s dream.
Again, my complaint is more about how some.of the maps are incredibly sniper friendly, not so much the snipers themselves. You paid your money for the game. If laying on your stomach all game is fun for you, by all means enjoy.
I play the scout class the most, but I PTFO. I only camp about 10% of the time…usually when I’m tired of r&g and just want to relax a bit.
There are plenty of places to duck and cover on suez, same on grappa…use the trenches.
Probably more scouts on suez because of all the places to hide…those spotting flares come in handy for your team to help locate the hiding enemies.
On Grappa, the scouts are easy pickings because most good sniping spots are out in the open with no cover. It goes both ways…try not to get caught with your pants down hiking up the hill out of the valley. Never hit the dirt on your way up or you are a goner.
Exactly. Every map has huge CQC possibilities. If you like CQC, equip smoke grenades and you can cross the open areas the bad Scouts need to function. God help you when the good Scouts show up with iron sights, though.
You have to attack and run up on people attacking at long range, and you can do that with Assault… that’s what it’s for. You can run out to them on horses or in vehicles and take them out.
Spawn in the back of E and F near the water if you have to and attack the ramparts if your team is trying to attack from the front. People using LMGs from the ramparts and attacking B is pretty much what this game is about. They aren’t “sniping,” they’re giving cover fire and hitting anyone they can. If no one runs in and takes those objectives while they’re doing it, that’s where the problem is.
Omg, seriously? I’ve just finished playing conquest on ballroom blitzkreig and 3 medics were spawning all the time on gallery near objective C.
So I’m right - another super sharp-shooting weapon is avalible in the game. Want to camp as scout? No problem. Want to camp as support? No problem aswell. I wonder if even modern LMG can shoot the target from about 200 meters (aprox. distance from Fao Fortress to B-objective on conquest).
Ok, some maps should be designed for long-range warfare for example all destert maps but come on, monte grappa? Seriously, there is only few trees in Alps and bare ground around?
First of all, lying down on the hill with 10x magnification is not very smart idea in my opinion. But ok, I can understand some people like playing that way. SOME people. I don’t even blame them. The game is telling you: “see this nice bare spaces around? take gewehr 98, go to highest hill and try kill this assault fouls running around”. Come on, 10 persons are playing like this + super-accurate LMGs with scopes(??) are doing mostly the same thing - it’s not fine. Meanwhile a light tank is capturing objective without any problem because rest of players are somewhere far away and trying to catch some headshots.
I’ve never played cod so your argument is invalid, bro. And never said I don’t like big maps. I don’t like bare maps with rare covers.
as Assault you have favourite spot to just chill killing any tresspasser
like C and D flag at Sinai or Fortress at Fao
i will cap flags in the open area if i have teammates to cover me
Blew my mind reading that. What game are you playing? Its a camping paradise… for people using shotguns and no one else. You can actually kill snipers without being a sniper, at sniping range. Think about it. You can’t beat a shotgun in close range even if you are using the best SMG in the game. Its absurd.
