Re: So quickscope is gone? Why?
@d4e6b60f0d6d7064 i don't know why but my guess is Snap on Aim Assist one shot kills?
Alsom a long distance weapon don’t belong in a CQC fight.

- @CountSero No, they nerfed SWS-10 so it doesn't 1-shot kill to the body in CQC.
It was getting abused by quite alot of people because it was very easy. Short barrel + close combat ammo and you can go challenge shotgun users - @UP_LordPlumber ah thnx, didn't know that ^^
Snipers have absolutely no aim assist when using sniper rifles. It just doesn't exist with sniper weapons at all. With the other weapons, I do think it helps with headshot accuracy and bullet spread, but not sniper rifles as the hit box is tiny compared to all other weapons when using a controller.
That said, for some odd reason, Dice continues to nerf the snipers just like was done in other games such as Halo, Fortnite, ect...developers don't like players getting kills with sniper rifles, not sure why but the snipers get nerfed in most of the popular games over time...
Dice even went as far to nerf the NTW-50 cal sniper for the third time, which is odd as you don't see players asking to BUFF the gun, not nerf it in the fourms.
Per Dice Season three changes:
- Body Shot range reduced for NTW-50 from 150m to 100m
So now the NTW-50, which shoots a bullet 5 miles in real life, is a short to medium range gun in BF 2042???
- @CountSeroSo you never ran around quick scoping or no scoping with a GOL back in the day? A sniper rifle is always going to inflict greater damage but it’s balanced by its long reload time, which is extra long in 2042. If a player had the cahones and the skill to rush with a sniper rifle, I say let ‘em. The only form of balance these devs can do it is nerf. They’re clueless.

I am not a run and gun sort of player. Never have been and never will be. I dont turn the tide of a round or any round by my gameplay. I get a few kills get killed a lot and yet still played the game because it was giving me what I wanted out of the game until......
I loved the NTW. It got nerfed to the point that I couldnt play my concealed and somewhat distanced style of play. Now I had to be close enough that I could practically shake hands with my intended target. If I got a shot off I was lucky and truly blessed if I got a hit and a kill. In the meantime, I knew that if I missed I was dead and looking even more stupid than usual. The opposition no longer fears me as they can see my glint in the distance and can safely ignore me. Now that snipers have to be tucked into the pocket of their target the fun has really been sucked out along with any sort or semblance of realism.
Dice. Just remove the rifle and be done with it. Force everyone to use the same run and gun weaponry, force all players to compete in the arena of CQC. Dont allow for any sort of variety or that disdained death from a distance as we know that the vast majority of the aim assist players cant and wont stand for being killed by a stationary and "camping" lowlife. Battlefield 2042 has shown that they will only cater to those that subscribe to complete mayhem in a small area that only allows for mega kills from non-tactical, unrealistic bunny play.
Could be the reason that I gave up on this game a long time ago with only the odd visit to confirm that this game is still circling the the porcelain bowl.
Just add a no sniper/sniper mode easy to deal with the situation.
All you quickscope snipers can then just get on with it.
Snipers should not be even part of a squad they are no help what so ever to any team.
- @CascadiaSRL Unfortunately Dice nerf of the NTW-50 was "Guilt by association", as I can't find even one forum thread where any player was asking for the NTW-50 to be nerfed for the third time, let alone once...
Dice seems to not understand the chaos it creates by destroying certain guns and items in game via nerfs inside a year old game, in which many players have found a lovable playstyle in which now gets destroyed via random and not very logical reasoning.
In the end, no players join the game because the NTW-50 was nerfed into oblivion, but a certain percentage will leave the game over such an unnecessary change. Where is the logic???

Are you assuming that we are all quickscope snipers? Nice generalization there Kona. You must be in the camp of the CQC bunny brigade that this game has devolved to.
Snipers should not even be part of a squad eh? They are no help eh? I must be really simple then because I have seldom heard of or seen "Squads" exist in BF2042. And, overwatch is a real tactic used by real teams in real life. I would try to explain this further but those that understand that have already got it and others, apparently people like you, will never get it. Sorry.
