Please urgently bring suppression back to Battlefield!?

You can't do anything against a pack of snipers, LMGs used to be able to pin them down via suppression. Why did you remove the mechanic completely??? Nothing counters these guys...

Fix this please.

  • @LJBattlefieldNowt worse than peppering a sniper and he still gets a perfect head shot off.

    And before the "but why reward bad aim" pedants chime in......

    A. What is the reward?

    B. LMGs are usually, by design, the least accurate weapons in the game especially at range.

    C. Even hitting the sniper doesn't disrupt aim in any way.

  • @LJBattlefield Suppression certainly created more tactical game, promoted flanks more, generated teamplay.

    You could pin someone down forcing them behind cover while your squad mate pushed around etc.

    But sadly gamers did not like having their aim affected by people who "can't aim".
  • But would again create a "problem" ppl would start complaining about suppression.
    Remember how nuclear many went cause of "suppresion sucks" etc?

    Same Story with everything, Usas was a great close combat toy, ppl start crying OououUooUuuuoo shotgun 1 shotkill is too op, so dice nerfed and ruined it.
    And so goes the story on with other things/features.

    @Supernova_xoxo they can turn in off in Portal, it breaks the game not having it otherwise. Majorly cynical game design, frustrating.
  • The problem isn’t lack of suppression but how easy sniper rifles are to use!
