Did suppression actually make for a better experience?

In Battlefield 1 the suppression causes the weapon sight to move around and increases the spread. After playing a lot of Battlefield 1 I've come to realize I find suppression annoying and unfun.

I agree the gunplay in BFV and 2042 has become too laser beamy. Resolving this through carefully designed recoil and a small amount of spread is probably the best solution. Which would encourage burst firing over long range.

Rocket Jump Ninja recently did a video about all the annoying mouse movement and visual recoil in Apex Legends and how it causes player frustration. I found his opinion interesting.

True but mostly referring to the suppression in BF3, in BF1 it was mostly confusing and imo not necessary cuz the old weapons fired like old weapons plus low ammo capacities

In BF3 suppression didn’t lead to camping and when it did the higher TTD allowed to get cover and figure a way to kill the camper. BFV and BF2042 people don’t even need to camp in order to produce and seemingly “unfair” engagement.

I agree a well balanced recoil, spread, accuracy system is superior and leaning towards to slow pace gameplay but I have little hope of ever seeing that happen again

For me Battlefield 3 was the last Battlefield you actual battled other players, everything after is just battling the game itself.

@doubleomeBF3's "High" TTD was due to an awfully low server tickrate. It was something like 10Hz or 15Hz compared to 45Hz in 2042 and 60Hz+ in BF4/5

So half of your shots just didn't register properly.

BF3 has exact same guns, mostly the exact same damage numbers.  3-4 shots kill up close, 5-7 shots at a distance. 

@UP_LordPlumberBut we begged Dice for better tickrate but it didn’t improve anything imo made it worse or something else made it worse.

Bf3 had 60hz servers at one point i am pretty sure didnt it?

2042 experience is more consistent compared to bf3 for sure but consistently bad isn’t something they should strife for lol

BF3 Suppression and to a lesser degree, BF4's was too high and BF1 was a tad low.

For me, somewhere between 1 and 4 would be ideal.

Suppression adds another layer to the game play and makes 'fire and move' a viable squad tactic if an enemy location is know.  The amount of times that I have been shooting (and hitting) a sniper only for him to OHK with his one and only shot is obscene.

It can also be used as a 'balancing tool'.  As has been said, BFV and BF2042 weapons are a tad too accurate but should we make all weapons slightly less accurate all the time OR some of them less accurate under certain circumstances?

And before anyone says it, Suppression offers no 'reward' for bad aim other than perhaps surviving a firefight. Beyond that, nothing.
