“Play the game my way or you suck.” Does that pretty much sum up this and every other cry baby topic like it? Welcome to online FPS. literally every one has the same complaints over and over.
Get your own server or a bunch of friends together to play your way or make your own game. Either way you have zero say in how others play their game.
When going from BF4 to BF1, they removed third party support for server renting. This basically lead to servers being more expensive, available in only one location per region (instead of for example, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Finland, Poland etc., it would just be “Europe”) and your options being very barebones compared to what we had in BC2, BF3 and BF4. One of the features that came with those third party servers were Procon plugins, which is what he is referring to. It had tons and tons of plugins you could use to make your server better.
Consoles didn’t have third party nor Procon support for their servers, they were always just as barebones as in BF1 right now, so that might explain why you wouldn’t be familiar with what he is talking about.
Anyway, one of those Procon features was a sniper limit plugin.
Essentially how it worked: you could set up a limit of how many snipers. Let’s say you put the value at 4. After the 4 sniper slots had been taken, anyone trying to use a sniper rifle got an automatic death by the server every time they got a sniper rifle kill.
It was a very popular and well received feature and many have wanted it to come back in BF1. I personally want it too.
Or here is a video about it, probably a much better explanation than mine
Sounds like interesting idea I’m with you
One of the secrets to a victory is having someone garde the backs of the advancing front and its a dangerous place to be. snipers help but there vulnerable too. a small group of attackers can wipe out the attackers from behind with ease. cant count the number of times I’ve died when my gut said watch your teems ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and not listened or not watched long enough only to see the whole advance wiped out. A change I’d like to see is everyone in the range of the mini map here what you say and a speaker sign coming from the person saying it, plus other variations to what you can say. for example a scout looks at you and asks that you watch his back and you do for a time. After which you get rewarded.
People getting behind you is a major part of the game and defence of that is important. Your idea wont work
Another one of these? Lol.

“People are not playng like I want,so they suck”.Again those threads?You are not the admin of the server in a public conquest.here you have to respect every player,from the assault running on the flag to the scout at 500 m from the objective.If you want to make your rules,rent a server and disable bolt action rifles since you like so much to avoid skill based fights.But in a public server,I’m my own commander,and no one can dictate how I have to play the game.
The servers with Procon and plugins were publics lol. On bf4 : servers with snipers limit or other limit weapons, or without limit but servers for all the players and no problem and the servers were publics…omg.
When we read your anwsers we understand why the conquest mode is ruined in bf1, yea of course…
Procon was a PC only feature.Console servers were exactly as the bf1 servers now.And guess what,the majority of the playerbase is on console,and no one cryes(or very few do) against snipers.Why?Because the majority focuses on what really matter:have fun playng the game,rather than tryharding in battlefield.Go dictate rules in your “PC hacker race”,surely playng for the team is better than playng for yourself,after all they bought you the game right?Oh,wait…
I agree 100%, thats actually a good idea! I myself hate campers (scout players) they are the most useless class/players in the whole game. I would limit the number of snipers to 5 so that we would get enough people to PTFO.
And what about the aggressive scouts?Someone wants to actually aim to get kills,rather than hip fire people to death.Not to mention that some people may like to camp,why should you kill a playstile because it is the least effective?
Set a minimum flag cap points for you to be allowed to play flag capping objective modes. Lock them out if the player doesn’t qualify.
Don’t cap flags? Fine, go play tdm or war pigeons, plenty of like minded souls on there, but expect to get your ar5e handed to you because you are no longer spoon fed targets on capping zones.
If it’s cap and defend flags that’s a good idea.
Had a crybaby message my friend to complain and try to insult him about how he was using a PT boat to help protect the battleship. All he could do was try and tout his 1.9 k/d. It lead to a great bit of PSN trolling. Best part was when he started dropping big Youtuber names as being friends with him.
To be fair there are a lot of medics that don’t revive/put a health pack down when people are clearly getting shot. There are also assault classes that don’t put ammo down/try to limpet charge tanks when they’re the only ones that can do something about tanks. Most are just idiots running OP Mondragon or OP Bar. There are a lot of players that don’t know how to play the game perfectly, it’s not limited to the scout class.
the difference is though at least the shmedics and the sh supports actually move up and try to take the objective though. snipers don’t effectively do squat when it comes to being attackers. snipers are a purely defensive instrument unless it’s an actually good scout who knows how to move up with the squad so that if the squad gets pinned down by, say, another sniper or a gunner, and it’s out of range of the rifles or gunners in the squad, the sniper can take them out.
as to the douchecanoes who said “wah it’s the only way I know how to play, so stop being a crybaby about how much I suck and can’t PTFO”, yeah you really should be banned from any game mode that requires you to get up off your manginas to go attack the objective. you wanna get kills? go play TDM. go play something that isn’t operations. it clearly is not a good fit for you. I think you should be forced to play operations on an operations map, there’s nothing radical or crazy about that expectation. it’s operations. not TDM. play the game, or go play a different one. but you don’t get to waste a space on our team that is essentially just an AFK position while you sit back and snipe.
“aggressive snipers to defend” defend what? why are you defending anything at all? the game clearly told you to ATTACK THE OBJECTIVE. so why are you disobeying orders? Again, another offense in WWI that would carry the penalty of death by firing squad. If your body and your weapon don’t move up, then the amount of pressure applied to the defending team at the objective is effectively zero. and furthermore the “aggressive snipers” are A) barely within the borders of the entire sector you’re attacking at the VERY back end in which they aren’t hitting anything or B) actually back in the previous sector you already have taken. they aren’t even in the same place as the battle, as it has since moved on and the sniper won’t move up.
if I can get kicked from the game for inactivity in the amount of time that I take a dump, but still have contributed more to the game than any of those “snipers” then they should be getting kicked without mercy from official operations servers.
furthermore i agree that if you don’t ever attack the objective in operations that if your flag cap count is too low you should be locked out of operations on a temporary basis like for a week, but still letting you play other modes. And players who become repeat offenders should have a special Punitive Battalion marking on their soldier so the rest of us know that they are a ¯_(ツ)_/¯ who doesn’t really need to be revived or given ammo. They have proven they do not have an interest in playing as a team, so then we should respect that wish by not helping them when they ask for it.
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man
I wonder when people will learn that not anybody follow orders lol.Everyone has a right to play like he likes.Watch yourself and what you do,rather than cry over what people do.Same BS on Overwatch,people cannot understand that the individual is the focus for himself,not the others.At least,not when the others want to change his playstile.
nobody is good enough to win the game all on their own. hence the term “teamwork”. there is no acceptable play style that includes camping for the mode of operations. it is a team based mode. don’t wanna play on a team? go away. it’s that or nothing.
Good, well spoken too, summarizes a lot of players,
they either sit in the tank and not move,
or sit back and let others go in first.
Guns need to be fired at least once.
and did I mention how the points system works?
drop ammo someone gets it, points are earned.
heal someone points are earned.
If enough signatures on the petition well
then everyone is on the same page.
Uhm no, by doing that you guve your team a messive disadvantage by funnelling them into a certain area, id pick support with my 4 squadmates and mortar the edges all day, scouts play a huge role in keeping things like that from happening.
I do agree it is irritating wen u get too many campers, but this would be a farm to everyone on defense.
I think the best way is to just make winning worth more xp, and perhaps DICE could figure a better way to matchmake by KD for examle on a team of 40 youll have 20 with a KD under 1.5(all the run mindlessly like you want them to into an objective and die) 10- 1.5-3.0 which tend to be decent at killing people but will probably camp or play more defensively (me) and 10 3.0+ that probably only use recon, vehicles, and camp.
^not saying thats perfect but matchmaking would be a start, KD usually indicates the type of player someone is.
