Have been playing this game since the first day and I do feel that there are too many snipers from the Scout class hiding and shooting. Too many campers high in the hills or hiding behind windows. DICE should nerf the scout class so that other classes can be balanced. ---

No nerfing.!!! i see just as many medics and assault players. and if people dont realize that support is a great class with really good weapons that’s fine too.! ---

I think you forgot medic as well those that don’t bother to revive or heal and just use it for the op damn guns. ---

There are so many snipers because its the easiest class and requires nearly zero skill and aiming. Sniping was so much better in the previous games. Sniping is ruining bf1 for me. ---

just deal with it.. it really isnt that bad. if you ever played Hardline you will know what a cancer the sniper class was, one shot kill 0-50m , and those damn SMG’s for secondaries (go to hell TEC-9). There was no balance in that game.!!! BF1 is perfect.! all class’s are really good at something that make them unique. Nothing is OP or UP. If dice do not release a single patch for this game ill still consider it a fantastic well balanced game.! ---

I don’t think the sniper rifles are OP, the problem is how open almost all maps are.It’s snipers paradise. ---

I understand that. but all of the maps have a location that is CQC and long range. The maps cater to every class. St Quintin scar for example. if you dont want to be sniped, stick to E,D and B flag.

Problems with Scout… Doesn’t have dynamite (big fail imo), guns are abnormally easy to use by most BF game standards (point and shoot with no need to hold breath or anything), they get a shield to hide behind. That shield has got to be the dumbest idea I have ever seen for a Scout/sniper class. There is enough issues with those yahoos sitting on rocks being useless… don’t need to give them extra tools for uselessness. I am not happy with but can deal with the Scout plague as it is now. Had this been a game where there isn’t a lot of trenches to hide in I would have quit because of them already. I don’t even play the sand maps because of them. I basically never died to a sniper in BF4 but in BF1 its pretty common. I haven’t changed my play style and they haven’t suddenly all became aim masters. ---

Perfect? what a joke I guess you haven’t read up anywhere about most snipers have a OHK sweet spot that’s not balanced in any way. None of them use the flare to spot for the team, and medics shouldn’t revive someone/multiple people instantly to 100% health. You obviously have no idea what a balanced game is, this game isn’t perfect in any way. ---

That’s not true any of the real good snipers have actually found a few spots with sight lines directly into all the objectives. I’m calling OP, just saying it seems the go to class and can be effective at all ranges, only thing they’re weak to are tanks. Even planes and the “OP” (hahaha laugh so hard at this comment) airship get torn apart by good snipers. ---

MOvement speed is an actual issue when you consider internet lag, latency…I am not sure how speed differences are in BF1 but it is a huge advantage to be able to run faster. ---

Pretty much destroys the Support class because “moving” is not their thing. ---

Well.. i actually hate it as well. It pisses me of if the enemy Team and / or my Team is only sniping. I had 14 Scouts in my Team yesterday. totally annoying. (especially if the enemy has 2 tanks… ) all i can say is that my way to deal with them is getting a tank myself and ignore them as much as possible or go Scout hunting with a car/horse or something [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/too-many-snipers-scouts-running-around/102585.md?page=2)
