I’ve put several hundred hours into the last few Battlefield titles. I know that BF is not a full on mil-sim but the bullet trail and scope glint is annoying.
The trail immediately gives away your position. When sniping from a long distance the trail makes it difficult to gauge where your bullet landed. Players should use sound and muzzle flash to detect enemies.
I believe that glint should take its cues from the Sniper Elite series. The glint only appears when the scope is up and even then it simply flashes briefly.
Oh god, I agree with you completely, I even think they should remove it completely, but I had a thread on this that had 200 comments on it, I don’t know how much more can get argued. But still thanks, good to know other people are on my side
