Stealth lol… that must be why glint is like a miniature sun every time you ADS.
And the flare is absolute garbage by the way. It’s been nerfed to irrelevance.
And yeah, assault and support can literally snipe in this game.
Recon’s role is to get chewed up by assault and support while taking out a few stationary targets here and there.
And I never said I wanted to run around and one shot everyone. Following up your rifle shot with your secondary for the kill has been a staple in BF for a while now.
Much higher damage with bolt actions has also been what every previous BF included. BF4 even had a close ranged one hit kill to the chest as well on every bolt action in the game.
BFV has the lowest bolt action damage of any BF game, the most bullet drop, and the slowest bullets at longer ranges. So don’t give me that “this is Battlefield” nonsense.
Don’t use a 6x if you don’t want glint. 3x is more than enough, you think assaults can snipe.. that’s what they get but they can’t kill in one shot at any range.
Flare is fine, shoot it in the air.
Following up your rifle shot with your secondary is cheap and you know it.
Much higher damage with bolt actions has been around, yes, but it’s cheap. The only thing that differentiated the class from others in previous games was the gadgets.
BF5 is not those other games.
I’ve only used this gun for at most 2 hours.. it’s not even funny how easy it is. I added a bit to the end to show how easy it is to be stealthy in this game too; if you don’t move it’s like you don’t exist.
i agree with you but from close range even a quick body shot with a switch to the revolver and a follow up shot with the revolver is not enough to kill an assault. wich is pretty insane. that and the fact that people can heal instantly with the med pack making the bolt action a 3 hit kill in certain situations.
I’m playing against other players.. doesn’t matter how good or bad they are that’s how the game is for 90% of the population, it’s random if you play with good players or bad players.
level 20, 25, 12, and 42 in the first clip
level 26 in the second clip
level 10, 2, 7 in the third clip
The guys in the first clip were easier to hit at further distance than the guys in the third clip…
Fact is, even with iron sights headshots are easy, a little too easy and I have very little experience with the gun.
Feel free to show me video of you doing better.. but what’s that going to prove? its actually easier than I make it look? lol
it is only easy because you have all the time in the world in the clips you show. hence why i said your clips say nothing. everyone can have 100% accuracy but if you take 5 minutes to line up a shot it does not mean anything.
in a competitive setting against excellent players playing the objective a bolt action has an extreme disadvantage compared to for instance assault.
I have no clips recorded for you atm but if you want to i can record some but that will only show you your clips are subpar. hell they arent even clips. your clip starts when the score is in your screen and ends when the score counter goes away. your ‘clips’ are just single kills.
I laughed whole way through the video. It’s like we are discussing a completely different game. And playstyle. I hope SixClicks doesn’t get any ideas so I don’t have to kick him from the squad.
Apparently alot of players want Scout to be so irrelevant that it’s only use is to be shot up by everything and not excel at anything besides a few stationary kills which they complain about regardless.
The flare gun is borderline useless. Its range is pretty short to boot as I’ve seen it stop mid flight only to burn above the spot I wasnt aiming at. So far the best thing that hasn’t changed much is the spawn beacon.
Assaults imo shouldn’t of been given semi auto rifles that let them act as pseudo Scouts cus they’rein the hills to, or atleast allow Scouts to use the same semi auto weapons Assault have. Currently Assaults can out snipe a Scout at range, Tank Buster vehicles AND still capable of mowing down a squad with ease if the conditions are right. That is to much power for one class alone.
At least there are proper downsides to the other classes. Makes a guy miss the Engineer class, it helped offset this all in one meta that’s been going on since BF1
Assaults have much higher fire rate weapons and much larger magazine size, so that compensates the lack of 1HK ability damage by being far more forgiving if missing. What’s your point? That because bolt action rifles have a 1HK ability so all other stats should be put to the minimum?
Flare is not fine, radius is too small and lasts too short. Shooting it in the air is not even the point here, so why bring that up?
Much higher damage and following up a rifle hit with sidearm is ‘cheap’? I’m sorry is that a counter-argument or just your anti-scout sentiment speaking? What exactly is ‘cheap’ about a very slow rpm weapon dealing very high damage? A scout that manages to land a hit in a disadvantageous (close range) situation while also quickly switching to sidearm and finish off the enemy is ‘cheap’? Is it also ‘cheap’ that a very fast rpm weapon can easily be sprayed from the hip and kill multiple targets without any need for precise aiming and missing lots of hits? So what exactly does that even mean ‘cheap’ in this context? That you don’t like a class weapon that distinguishes itself from the rest? Should everyone be wielding the same type of weapon and then it won’t be ‘cheap’? Interesting kind of logic you have there.
That video is a highlight of killstreaks, one can make any weapon seem overpowered when cherry picking only the successful parts from normal gameplay footage.
The flare is not good at all. Hard to even take you seriously when you say it is. The radius is tiny now, it only lasts 10 seconds, it has very limited range (you need to be close to the target area), and it can be shot down by the enemy as well.
How is following up a rifle hit with your secondary cheap? That makes no sense at all. That’s literally the purpose of the secondary being a quick swap option when you don’t have time to reload. There’s even a weapon upgrade that let’s you swap 15% faster.
When you’re firing a weapon that can only get off around 1 round per second, it makes sense for it to do high damage. That isn’t cheap. In the time it takes someone to fire 2 rounds with a bolt action, I could fire 5 rounds with the G43. At long range I would have done 110 damage with the bolt action and 180 damage with the G43 in the same time frame.
Your video literally proves the point that recon is practically useless now. You’re literally just sitting there taking shots at stationary targets (as I mentioned earlier) and doing absolutely nothing for your team. And what a surprise… against non stationary targets you go for body shots. If you were actually helping your team instead of “hiding” you’d have been dead. More Bush Wookies is not what BF needs.
If I ever end up that lame and useless, please do.
From what I see most of the players in all the classes use x3 scopes when possible but for some reason 1 of the weapon types has to glint on that zoom while the rest dont…
