Just putting the word exploit in all caps doesn’t mean anything, you know. A video game exploit is defined as the use of bugs, glitches, or systems to gain an unfair advantage in a manner not intended by the development team.
I, alongside many others I’m sure, have never once had an issue taking out a drone. Furthermore now that the latest update has increased their visibility and hitbox size you should be having even less trouble. So there goes the ‘unfair’ part of the argument.
Furthermore did you ever play battlefield 4 and get mauled by a SUAV? Or blown up by a C4 jeep? Or a MAV targeting some C4 that a friendly had placed in on your vehicle because they were pally with someone on the enemy team? All of these things are not intended use but they all happened and they were all mainstays for better or worse. Most of them were even arguably harder to deal with than Casper’s drone. To state that, after all the shenanigans that used to occur in previous titles, using a recon drone to ferry C4 was ‘unintended by the developers’ is insane.
Battlefield lives and dies on its playerbase’s out-of-the-box thinking, if people didn’t experiment with the sandbox we wouldn’t have C4 launches or rende-zooks. If you want to play a Battlefield where player expression is considered exploitative and should be reigned-in, then you do you, but that is never what Battlefield has been about, it has always been about creativity.
It’s what makes the game so great.
