The scope glint is too bright on this game. Honestly I think it needs remove entirely but I know some people would complain about it being removed. Why is it in the game? I know it's so other players can see the sniper especially if they are camping somewhere, but why? You see there name when you look at them, you can usually see the bullet tracer when they shoot at you, hell if they kill you, the kill screen highlights them red and points in the direction they are in. So it's not hard to figure out where they are based on those features alone. So why does there need to be this huge spot light coming from their scope. It's not realistic for one. But if they need to have it, the brightness needs turned down a lot. It's so bright and makes sniping very stupid and borderline unfun in this game. As soon as you look at a group of enemies and they see the big * spot light from your scope, they all immediately start shooting at you, usually killing you. Unless you're all the way in the back of the map.

The amount of one-hit-kill weapons/gadgets are becoming a problem balancing wise and is part of what can make BF2042 awful to play, especially with 128 players (for infantry).Scope-glint is fine, its a 'unrealistic' mechanic but necessary. Being able to one-shot people from any distance makes sniper-rifles pretty powerful.We need more people PTFOing and playing for the team, making snipers any better would just be detrimental to the game.

@cso7777 Im fine with it in the game but it shouldn't be so bright. Like I said, it's like a massive spotlight. Snipers have always been a 2 shot to the body and 1 shot to the head. Except for .50 cal. I don't think they are used as much in this game as they were in previous games. Only people I see using them anymore are brand new players.

@ATFGunrExcept for the GVT lever action rifle. This one allegedly glints at x4

@ZRuff46 Agreed, it's far too bright and I end up retreating in my tank when I see one thinking it's the damn TOR about to nail me!

@Tank2042ManI use to love sniping in previous games but I absolutely hate it in this game. I can never tell the difference as to whether it's the tor or a sniper since they both usuallyare sitting in the back of the map. That right there is another reason to lower the brightness of the scopes so you can actually tell the difference

@ZRuff46 There’s glint in real life too. It’s about balance. If you want to snipe and be the lone wolf, Squad might be a good option for you. If it’s a milsim you hope for, they’re out there.

@ATFGunr Not really. Not as constant as it is in this game. A scope in real life only has a glint if the light hits it in the right angle and really isn't extremely noticeable. They don't need to remove it but they should really decrease the brightness of it so you're not as much of a target. If it's about balance then why does hardly anyone use snipers. Like I said above, only people who use snipers anymore are only new players. They will probably stop once they realize how un fun it is. Battlefield is about freedom to play how you want so I will play as I want. I'm not laying down in the back of the map sniping like some do. I'm usually a little bit further back than where my team is because it'd be stupid to run into the frontlines with a sniper rifle.

@ZRuff46 Don't miss, and move every few shots. Most people left in this game aren't capable of finding a sniper. They'll just demand more nerfs.

Too Much Aim Assist or Aim Botting

Good advice, but with so many ping enhancers, it doesnt do much

Disagree

JMHO, Sniping should be 1 hits in the head. That being said, there are way too many 1 hit weapons using aim bots. I put 5 bullets in you with an LMG, and you dont even turn to me, and you 1 hit me with a hand gun. It's a problem
