Re: SNIPERS arent properly utilized and should be limited in BF 2042, agree?

@DDouble_Tap02Map design goes a long way to alleviating this. BF1 and BFV had too many sniper friendly maps with wide open spaces. There were also not enough vehicles.

In BF4, it's not that big a deal. Snipers can still be a factor, but they don't dominate the map. And with the much higher vehicle counts, they can't get comfortable for long. A team full of snipers in BF4 often loses the map.

Funny story from JackFrags...he said at the press event for BF2042, the devs told them about some of the play testing. Apparently, they got pinned down by a sniper. But then the weather picked up, and a tornado dropped a cargo container on the sniper! LOL!!!!!

    DICE could make fewer Scouts snipe if only they gave Scouts other proper weapons to select.

    In BF1 you have no fully automatic Scout weapon, i.e. you have to spam-click when using the M1903 Experimental.

    Give Scouts some fun, fully automatic weapons.

    PS. I love to PTFO as Scout in BF1, but Russian Trench is the only viable weapon choice along with a pistol like Frommer Stop, I feel. It would be so nice to have a fully automatic.

    I didn't see many snipers in BF4. Hm, guess there was only room for 1. lol. Seen a lot of tanks though, like 3 strong and hill sniper tanks. Yeah a hill tank sniper is much better. lol.  Blow those tanks up 2-3 at a time and knife both tank people when they get out to repair and give the tank to a TM. lol

  • @FearNoTears lol. Yeah the worst map for tank snipers can be Silk Road.

    I run into snipers a good bit, but they don't last long. One time I got sniped out on Operation Whiteout, moving from Flag C to D. There's not much cover, and a sniper was prone on the hill behind Flag D. I did manage to spot him before he got me. So in the after death cam, I see a hover tank sneak up behind him, hit the gas, and knocked him flying off the cliff LOL!!!!

    Snipers don't have it easy in BF4. They get hunted down fairly quickly. lol

    A team with too many often loses because they won't take the capture points. So the other team will just use cover, take the points, and enjoy the boost to their ticket counter lol.

    lol. Yeah snipers can be easy targets if their out in no mans land. They don't won't to always being looking down the sights and check their back every couple minutes. Might be able to fight people running at them, but if their in a vehicle or tank it's going to be more challenging to say the least. A sniper can be harder to get at though if they stay closer to the team and give warning of threats ahead of time. Unless the other team is more dominate.
