Posted this in another thread, but it is important enough that Battlefield 1 does not have it, that it deserves its own thread.
Really hate the sniper scope glittering in BF4, I shouldn’t be able to sniper in a covered position but not see a squad of troops or even a tank at sometimes, the same distance away, seriously takes away from quality snipers who find the time to take a good position and pick off men. For example, in BF4, I would crouch off, not impossibly far away, but in a secluded area, over looking an objective. I should get a lot of kills right? No after picking off one guy his squad mates immediately locate me through trees, shrubbery, and tall grass (where I was crouched down), because my scope shined a beam of light on them.
Really frustrating, and yeah it is camping, but over an objective and I would move after I cleared them out so they don’t respawn and kill me. They can know where I am then, but I had the right strategy, don’t punish me for sniping.
My point is, a sniper off hidden in a area overlooking an objective or busy area should beat a few men who didn’t go in knowing where the sniper is, it’s that simple
Maybe they can create in so in a split second you can see the bullet coming in or know it’s trajectory based off where your teammate got hit and direction his lifeless body falls, but that’s it, stop warning people that I have them in my sights!
Yeah I agree it’s like a massive arrow going “I’m right here”. But speaking about the recon class I remember bfbc2 I think it was had the mortar strike this is something I’d love to see in bf1.
Honestly if I’m off hidden and they’re walking around aimlessly, they should not be able to react before I fire.
However if I miss, they should be able to hear/see the bullet wiz by, if they start running, duck behind cover, see bullet holes go through walls, and start to decipher the direction I am in. Then charge. That’s the fair way it should work. Plus if I kill that enemy, they can still see me in a after footage, with me highlighted, like in BF4
It’s fun way that I, as well as others, enjoy playing
The way you keep them from camping the whole game is allow them to be shown to the person just killed by them, in a death scene. Like I said, I would move around after I clear the area, but in initial combat, hidden snipers win
sniper glint is needed. players in cqb have many more problems then a sniper with glint on it.. get over it when your not ads your scope glint is not there.
Dumb again you shouldn’t be camping period as a sniper/ recon. Freaking bush wookies. Taking 20 shots and maybe landing 1 “Oh but I’m spotting” lol we all can do that too.
No, I do miss a lot, usually because they were on the run. But I also want to get rid of spotting altogether so that does not apply to me. Honestly don’t know why people support the glare of the scope, I’m assuming they just hate snipers, even though they are part of the game and a crucial part of team play. Hate when players try to nerf the output of players who specialize in other areas of play, “give away position of snipers all the time” “pilots are annoying, nerf them” “take away tanks firepower” like grow up and let us play. It’s not unfair to take away the glare, it’s making it realistic. Different classes have different advantages, and we shouldn’t nerf thoughs advantages
This is getting old, this isn’t CoD, not everyone is supposed to charge out in the open and be on the front lines. This game is dynamic, with different ways to play, and sniping is a way to play. Stop trying to diminish the play of others. It’s childish
Did I say that everyone should rush out into open, flailing limbs wildly, smashing into each other?
No?
I don’t have a problem with sniping, I do however; have a problem with entire squads treating the hill on OP Firestorm (for example) as objective Zulu doing nothing but wasting man power and tickets.
Good snipers zoom in out when needed to not give away their position as much as possible, only camping noobs stay zoomed in all the time, their the ppl who more than likely want it removed!
If this was included from the start, no one would be asking to make it happen now, it’s a dumb feature that shouldn’t exist (it doesn’t make any sense) and anyone who uses a sniper would agree. I don’t even stay far way from combat, what I’m tired of is taking cover and picking off a guy that isn’t that far away, but he sees me only because my scope is a bold target to hit
Simple get use to sniping without zooming in and ur position won’t be given away, this should be easy for you to do if u don’t stay far from the action.
So you want the one thing that’ll make you a slight bit of a team player taken out? It’s not about nerfing the recon class it’s about making you guys participants in the battle instead of sniping from a mile away. Or just get up close with tugs and help the team out.
