I was just recently watching a sniper gameplay by JackFrags, which I will provide the link to below, and I couldn’t help but notice how many points he was getting just for killing a single enemy: 25 headshot bonus, 25 counter snipe bonus, 100 points for kill, 153 marksman bonus ( for distance) = 303 points for a SINGLE kill! This is way too much. Dice needs to tone this, or the top 20 players in a match’s leaderboard will all be recons, most of whom would have not probably even played the objective.

BF4 Rush was terrible compared to BF3 and BC2. Rush was absolutely my favorite game-mode until BF4. Dice needs to show us Rush players some love. ---

I actually liked from what i’ve seen from sniper gameplay. But i didn’t see this jackfrags video, so lets take a look ! ---

You should get the full points if you kill an enemy which is close to the flag. You should get half points if you kill someone else where. ---

I think scouts should get less points for sniping kills, and much more points for spotting enemies. ---

I see what they did with the 25points counter sniper thing. That might give scouts a reason to not focus on the players that cant fight back at higher range and rather shoot other snipers. On the other hand I think the marksman bonus seems to be a bit much. Its easier to take out targets at long-range with the sniper rifle anyway. That to me would be like giving someone with a shotgun a bonus for shooting people at low-range. ---

i dont see the option to set the distance you wanna shoot at with your sniper rifle. this means that the bigger the distance , the harder a shot will become as you have to account for the drop a lot more and most likely have to lead your target a lot more. also taking an objective nets you 500 points alone. you must be doing something wrong if a sniper in the middle of nowhere gets more points then you… ---
