The training is to extensive, its to expensive, and its not an all around weapon, because war is fluid. But BF4 and COD MW were over run with them. I never played COD until Dice experimented with Ww1 and Ww2. I have to admit COD MW is a good game, love the graphics, but their sniper problem is massive and the reason why I don't love the game and play it for limited stretches. They have this option to allow players to carry 2 primary weapons and a sniper rifle is the main one they would choose. You cant take 2 steps after spawning without getting shot from across the map, and its massively frustrating. The game just doesnt flow properly which makes you bore easily.
Too make this the best authenic game ever, limit the number of snipers. 1 per squad at minimum or a total limit overall. Also if you buy a server, create the ability to exclude snipers. They are not prevelant on a real battlefield, why frustrate your grinders by someone capable of making a cheap shot. COD ttk is perfect on most part outside the sniper issue and map size. The frustrating part about BF4 was you had to shot someone a thousand times to kill them. Throw in a sniper rifle then you never stood a chance.
So, for the sake of your franchise and truly dominate the market. No 2 primary weapons like sniper and assault rifle carried at the same time, and can you please do something about those nonskilled snipers that can easily ruin the game? You would be surprised how it flows without them.
No worries @DDouble_Tap02 ,
BF2042 will only allow soldiers to be equipped with one primary weapon and one secondary sidearm weapon.
I have no problem with the Marksmen class, they are frustrating but having used it...its a very fun weapon and a fair weapon, commonly carried In real battles, I have respect for those players and you dont contantly hear complaints from people killed by one. You constanly hear chatter about the dammned snipers. I recently read they were banned in COD leauge play which says a lot. Even in the movies there are 0 or just 1 snipers on scene and they require spotters and other equipment. In game, make them guage wind and bullet drop and if a non kill bullet hits them make them stun or stagger for a split second. Sniper training is extensive, in game, a 7 year old shouldnt be able to pick 1 up and making head shots before the end of the round...snipping is way too easy.
A way arond the sniper problem is not inlude them with a load out. Scatter a select number in crates around the battkefield find a crate snd chose your snioer rifle with a finite number of rounds. After amo expires, operator drops it, it shows on the map in a crate for the next user to pick up, or the same guy can pick it up after a cool down period. If they do this, I personally would not get pissed by being snipped.
Another solution, if you die say 3 times as a recon sniper, you can only carry a Marksmen rifle for the rest of the match. Only higyhy skilled operators would take thst risk and thats how it should be. I personally cant wait for this game to come out. I am fully prepared to give hours of my life for the pure enjoyment it will provide. It will be my drug of choice....unless snipers ruin it with a bad fix....ugh.
