Playing recon and using the flare gun the one thing I’ve noticed is a large chunk of the player base (Xbox one) will still camp and do nothing with the information I’ve given them. Most squads I seem to see are the opposite to the one I was playing with in the bellow clip who where using the mini map to hunt down the enemy. But I did have to wait for them to catch up at the end. 😆 Please excuse the terrible grenade throw and the random hammer. 🙄 [https://xboxclips.com/hans gruber 30/6a7c063a-376e-446d-a131-b54487f23352](https://xboxclips.com/hans%20gruber%2030/6a7c063a-376e-446d-a131-b54487f23352) ---

I played with Recon caps in BF:BC2 and the game was better off with caps. If they are sniping using the Recon no matter how good or bad they are PTFO it is their role. Now how about sniping Assaults or Support? You want more people waiting, more uneven teams and pathetic rounds, just so you can relive BC2 sniper limits which had 24 players, complete destruction and Rush only. ---

This will never work. You just need to accept the fact there are campers, there will _ **always** _ be campers, regardless of class or weapon. Some players just can’t bring themselves to rush the objective, preferring to stay relatively safe in a nice warm hidey hole. This won’t change at all, even if they made everyone use the exact same loadout, you’d still have campers. Do what everyone else does; hunt them down, take their tags, and Tbag til your legs seize up with charlie horses. ---

I played with Recon caps in BF:BC2 and the game was better off with caps. If that’s your reasoning why Snipers should be limited, than I can breath a sign of relief. Because that will never happen. Anyways I’m gonna go PTFO and snipe some prone bush camping MMGs. Especially easy now with that MMG nerf lol 😂 ---

Perhaps a good solution would be weapon nerfs, reduced point counts, or things that encourage players to play more and camper less, snipers are important when they spear enemies, support infantry from a distance, and when they get closer to the line facing sometimes too. The great problem with this game is that there are a lot of camper snipers in each match that only make it work, and it doesn’t help the team at all. ---

I played with Recon caps in BF:BC2 and the game was better off with caps. I beg the differ. I have plenty of moments like this where I feel like i’m the only one capping flags.

Unfortunately there’s this mentality that all Snipers camp the back of the map which is the excuse people use when in actuality they are pissy because they keep getting sniped. Hence all the topics about Support players wanting Suppression mechanic back. ---

Snipers on a mountain top doing nothing was mainly BF1,BF4,BF3. Even some on Bad Company 1 and 2. But heck BC2 beta I charged them hills and got 173 dog tags before the beta ended. DICE was nice enough to let those carry over to full game. ---

Here’s an idea, why not let people play how they want to. Afterall the campy types will balance each other out on each side. Also if snipers were limited or removed about 25% of people may not even have bought the game. I know I wouldn’t. ---
