Please change the sniper settings back to BF3 days. Back then a sniper had to have some skill. Not just point and shoot and get a kill without any skill whatsoever. It is so bad that on our server we kick 80% of snipers. Sorry thats just the way it is and will be until they change it.

Well we will have much older rifles in this game so bullet velocity should hopefully be lower and more affected by gravity making it harder 
BF3 was easy to snipe, this coming from someone who’s not a sniper, requires more “skill” on bf4 than 3, although I still think its a pointless class played by casual’s who think its the best class to increase their KD

Plus those casual’s are still normally bad.

the most normal response is “I help my team by spotting the enemy” which lets be honest is not something that’s hard or skillfull
That’s some of the most ignorant I’ve ever seen, being that although you have a point of snipers not being able to help the team much, it by far takes the most skill without a doubt and has ways of helping the team such as the PLD or C4.

supports have c4
I have never seen a Recon use a pld to help the team, apparently they had to nerf’d the pld because recons where using to spot other recons without getting the scope glint

BF3!?..I rather have sniper skills from BFBC2.
BF3 was much easier. If you are dying by snipers on BF4 to the point you have to kick them you need to be more aware of your surroundings.
Sniping mechanics hardly changed between BF3 and 4. Sure you can zero now but that is utterly pointless if you don’t know range and can’t lead a moving target. They added vapor trails to sniper rounds so it’s easier to spot them (and made it harder for the sniper to see its own bullets flight in the process)
I imagine many of the mechanics are going to stay the same, where snipers have lower velocities than everything else chambered in the same rounds (because that makes sense) and still have glint
