I liked it in battlefield 2 when there was no indication where things came from you had to have a headset on to hear the grenade and you had to figure out where the shot came from it made the game more immersive than most think, also while we are at it, explosives should not disappear when you put too many down, it was fun when you had to look out for your own mines. Edited by EA_Neil. Thanks for the feedback. Try not to use caps lock. Thank you!

@blsdwarriorI hope they are in the game. The flash is a balance to the snipers, easy to understand

your basically talking about hardcore mode, i doubt the things you mentioned wont be in the game. Hardcore mode sure, go crazy, but most players would want those above mentioned effects in game, to play more easily, or normally

Until they do something to limit the amount of snipers in a game, scope glint seems a necessary counter.

Sniper glint should be after firing, time based or distance based. The idea at 50m a player needs glint to avoid being shoot is ridiculous. As for grenade indicatior it is a solution to problem that never existed. If you can throw C4/TNT and not have a indicatior why do grenades. I have seen many complaints about hand hold features like 3D spotting but apparently glint and grenade indicator are not on their list. To me it is like the complaints on explosive spam yet RPG or C4 are not part of that spam.

While annoying, without sniper glint, server will be full of snipers though, especially considering the map size increase and no weapon restrictions now on classes/specialists, I'm not sure if servers full of snipers will make bf more fun to play..

I hope there are no grenade indicators or sniper glare this time

Mateeeee, i couldnt agree more.. Grenades, dont bother me either way.. however, GET RID of sniper glint.
The entire point of a sniper is to be hidden. If i want to sit with a silenced sniper from far away, i should be able to without being detected. Its already bad enough that the enemy can see you on the death cam.

You shouldnt need scope glint in a modern setting with the plethora of spotting gadgets that no doubt will be in game.

Glint in BFV doesnt stop some rounds being full of camping snipers.

@ninjapenquinuk exactly, no glint would make it even worse 😉

Good luck with that. I do think the glitch makes it too easy for other snipers to counter each other, so I say snipers should unit and only shoot at run/gunners. lol

@nickmajic Back in the beginning of BF3 snipers didn't have glint. After so many complains in the community to Dice for having to many snipers. Dice put out a patch for snipers to have glint on scopes...After that every BF game being having it. Im sure 2042 still gonna have scope glint.
