@0_oRageI remember back in the day, when the devs for chess (the board game) released a new version, where the knight suddenly could jump over other pieces. The whole chess community went NUTZ, it was so unrealistic, and it was like cheating. The knights were already OP AF with their weird movement pattern!
The devs did some patches and nerfed the knights to only have a limited range.
Many of the old seasoned players canceled their pre orders and never returned to the game ever again.
Eventually the whole thing settled down and now no one speaks about it any more. I still think they are a bit OP, but the devs are not listening to the community any more.

I don't see a massive problem with it myself assuming range, cooldown and duration etc are at sensible levels but these can be tweaked.
After all, BF4 had far more spotting methods and we all want a return to BF4 right?
Whatever happens though, let's hope BF2042 doesn't become the hardcore light game BFV did and excessive nerfing/removing of mechanics such as this is a step in that direction.
We all know what happened to BFV.....

Look at this 18th century OG gamer. True story by the way. I looked it up.
