This game becomes unplayable due to snipers. Every party both sides got 3/4 of snipers and dont ptfo it’s not possible anymore… I know it’s possible to lock scout class but some players use infantry or carbine and they ptfo so it’s not a problem. It looks like all snipers join hardcore to ohk it’s frustrating. I hope it will be possible to lock only sniper rifle in the futur.
Uuh lol
i Understand the pain my friend … I have too complained about such and even gave in suggestions too. only to get rude comments by some people who are probably full time campers themselves .. my advice keep switching servers till you find one where the ticket gap isnt off by much, then you know you got a game on your hands!
A few updates ago, Dice said they added “Class Limits” to custom servers. Unfortunately, it never actually made it into the game even though they added it to the patch notes. After we asked why it wasn’t actually in the update, they took it out of the patch notes. Hopefully, Dice is planning to add class limits in the future.
As a true Hardcore player, I believe there are more things that are wrong with hardcore that Dice needs to fix including the snipers. Like the RSC, aim assist, the big map, revolvers, teamkilling… maybe one day Dice would actually care about the Hardcore Community and take some time to fix it. #MakeHardcoreGreatAgain
@CloudyMaze we already got our own server and we spend our time to kick abusive sniper/camper from the server.
@jarmet100 I hope we will have class limit at the next update or just be able to lock a rifle from a loadout.
How dare people use bolt guns in a wwi shooter!
snipers aren’t the issue
the issue is the fact 200% + auto rotation = pointless game mode
Auto aim is disabled on our server but we have 200% yes. It’s hardcore after all.
so u prefere to get one banged by people using infantry/carbines (which are ways easier to use than the scoped ones, slowdown is a huge advantage too ;)) and completely dominating the game over getting killed once by a useless sniper in the back that misses u the other 10 times he tries to kill u?
Peoples using carbine or infantry ptfo generally so it’s not a problem (no auto rotation and slowdown on our server). And im not killed once by a useless sniper but 10 times by useless snipers it’s the problem… Players who plays sniper stay into their spawn and wait…
Hmmmm. Not sure what the problem is here. Going from core to hardcore was an adjustment and for a while I couldn’t move around the map on HC because I got sniped repeatedly. After playing HC for a while now I can’t go back to core. Currently, for me, a medic with an RSC is way more problematic than a sniper and this is only going to get worse.
One of my friends has pulled me into HC servers before, and I understand the pain of going up against an RSC. Snipers don’t scare me, since most of them still suck, but the RSC, oh god. Six one-bangs in a mag!
what is a true hardcore player??
I just don’t get it. For months this forum was awash with HC players wanting a right HC mode, 200% damage, not… was it 125%?
Now the weapons kill too fast and are too powerful?!
I’m not trying to troll, but are simply perplexed. Is it the wish of the HC community now, that Dice changes an entire class plus individual weapons from other classes? You guys are high maintenance ;-D
I don’t get hardcore… you want realism, DICE gives you realism with sniper rifles wrecking you… but you don’t like it. Class isn’t the problem, it’s the players.
Edit: random second post
I think the complaint is that the snipers don’t take flags, not that their weapons are too powerful. That players are not playing the objective is not exclusive to hardcore, though. Forcing people to play a certain way, by restricting scopes is a blunt tool; you can still camp with a carbine or infantry variant, and you can be on the frontline with a sniper scope. It’s not the weapons, it’s the players.
One or two snipers per side, not a problem. Somewhat realistic. 1/3 or half the team playing as snipers with their d##k’s in the dirt, that is a problem in Core and HC. You don’t have to limit the class. DICE could curb some of the issue with bullet drop or limit bullet range. Better map design would also help. Notice most maps are shaped like a bowl with snipers on the edges sniping those PTO. Not hard for snipers to pick people off from one side of the map to the other or zone in on a spawn point.
Or, how about a random arty strike over people who haven’t moved in 5 minutes. BF2 mod had this back in the day, kept people moving.
Yeah, there are other OP guns, but most of those folks are PTO, so I can tolerate it.
A player who ptfo with a sniper it’s ok I dont care. But almost ALL snipers dont ptfo and stay in their own spawn and dont move even once to take a flag and finish the game with 15 - 5 and 2000 points. Those who plays with marksman, carbine or infantry are not a problem because they ptfo generally. That’s why I would like to lock only sniper rifle (still allow marksman carbine infantry)…
I like to win .you cant tell by my my stats but im trying for the WIN, the big V. And sometimes this PTFO thing gets in the way. Its counter productive to abandon a capped objective .sometimes a ambush along a heavy flanking route can deside if your spending half the game loseing fighting for your spawn or winning the unknown grunt who kept the enemy off the point. I love hardcore i love it skilled players like the dudes in 1sec keep it challenging just to name one of the squads theres alot of great ones playing hardcore. snipers suck no doubt about it. The word camper i think i need clarification. I wait at a flag defending in one spot for more than 5 minutes im not trying to rack up my kds or improve my w/l stats im trying to win that one flag. If im in ambush im trying to stop that one enemy or squad from a break threw. one lone dude getting past can make a headache for the whole team. Sniper is just a tool i can use. I usually don’t unless i think the tripmine or flash flares will better my defense . some games have to many i agree. Im hoping its people used to the core hit registrations or confusing situation of emptying a mag into them then getting shot dead by said enemy the same frustrating thing that turned me on to hardcore and once they realize the other guns now kill as intended they’ll start taking the other classes for a spin. I like your ideal but like someone said about changing play style and for that matter even dice is hurting team play and so called PTFO with the medal system a few promote camping snipers imo. They should have hardcore and back to basics medals. Sorry so long. good thread and topic
