Re: fix the OP snipers

@contact634 57mm cannon is a one shot if you land a direct hit.

Snipers like the 50.cal are only deadly within 100m
As for the rest, they just aim for the head, some players make it easy to snipe them, I always run smokes simply to out a wall between myself and Snipers or Vehicles.

    point being if a .308 mg takes several hits to kill, no gun in the game should be a 1 shot kill

    @contact634 Duck, dodge, and dive! If you run in any kind of predictable pattern there’s some really good snipers who are gonna pop your head like a melon. Like BaknPowder said, you can deploy smoke and move under cover. Don’t complain about the snipers, complain about the large maps with almost no cover to speak of. That’s the real issue.

    If a sniper gets me with a headshot I say well done. You have to be a decent player to consistently hit a HS on a moving target. 

    Anything that one shots to the body are obviously less fun to be on the end of but thankfully Battlefield doesn't have too much of that

    The sniping in BF games has always been very satisfying, its one of the few things they do really well and better than comparative games.  I would hate for them to change it.

    I don't think its that bad, the scope glint does make people a target. I've been killed almost as fast by someone getting the drop on me with an MP9, difference being they don't have to hit their first shot.

    I don't really see how you could fix this problem you have.  You cant have a game where being shot in the head with a sniper doesn't kill you can you? I agree that its silly that you can pop someone in the head with weapons such as the .50 calibre from a tank and they don't die, but you cant have armoured vehicles with rapid fire weapons that can one hit infantry for balance reasons.

    @A_al_K_pacino_A I agree, I have been popped a few times and other times I did the popping. Revenge kills are the best, very satisfying.

    i'm old enough to remember people complaining about supression

    to OP:  all you can really do is never stop moving.  if you have to stop in place just move fore and aft or left and right untill you start running again.  that has always been neccesary in battlefield because wookies like their headshots and moving like that makes it a lot harder

    @Psubond me too which resulted in BFV/BF2042 Gunplay where snipers can dance around stood up and still dome you across the map......

    Mind, people can do that with SMGs so why should sniper rifles be any different.

    @BaknPowder I used to, but lately i've noticed console players don't see smoke the same way as PC, so thinking there's a netcode issue there. I am constantly being killed by, what seems like, only console players while reviving in smoke.

    Honestly, IMO, the issue isn't so much about snipers being OP, it's that these maps were so poorly designed that 90% of them are just open air where there's little to no cover, which will always be a benefit for a sniper.  Most maps, if I'm hit by a sniper, I have no choice but to do the 5 Ds of Dodgeball to find a place to get out of line of sight, and that can sometimes be a while.

    @Trokey66 SUPPRESSION! WHY THE HELL DID THEY REMOVE THAT FROM THIS GAME?!? It's a literal sniper fest on how these maps were designed, and they removed the only thing that could help you get away. Old games, if a sniper is shooting at you, you unload at the glint till you can get to where you need to. Why anyone thought it was smart to remove this is beyond me.

    @Kyosji Blame the 'community' for that one, they wanted it and all spread mechanics gone.

    @Kyosji Why did EA / Dice remove most of what existed in previous BF games? Server browsers, scoreboards, suppression, cover, more than just a few guns, classes, being blown up but able to crawl on back and shoot (only good thing to come from BFV), it’s a pretty long list of great game mechanics thrown in the trash by these developers. EA makes their money from FIFA and Apex, BF means nothing to them and it shows.

    @ATFGunr It's still 10% of their earnings. 10% is still a huge chunk of their revenue

    most likely time to develop those resources (why they would take much time idk)

    the scoreboard thing is intentional though i think.  they don't want people to get their feel feels hurt because they suck at the game

    @Kyosji There was an issue with opening a menu screen removing the particle effects from the screen. Maybe this is still there?

    @Psubond This would be a horrible excuse for them to use, especially for their "way ahead of schedule" posts they had.

    @Kyosji oh, i never said it was a good excuse or a valid one, just being pragmatic. they probably didn't put that stuff in because they were way behind and couldn't get everything done. (the scoreboard thing was intentional though i think. can't hurt people's feelings)
