Snipers are ok, but when there are too many people choosing recon for the snipers, the game is unplayable. In the face combat is where the adrenaline rush comes from, not sitting back eating cheetoes waiting for someone to stop moving long enough to get a head shot off. It's unfair to that player that grinded for that peace of real-estate, just for Mr cheetoes to get his opportunity.
Real snipers often spend days to get into position to take a shot and most times it's just 1 shot. Lose your cover or position you are dead. Most scenarios you only have 1 sniper to worry about, 2 at the most. Take them out and there is more freedom of movement.
Problem is, in fps, there can be teams of them around. Kill them and they just respawn hindering what makes fps fun...reflex, timing and strategizing.
Because of fans of snipers in movies, I loved them too, games feel the need to let them prevail but in real war situations, they are outliers. In real war to defend yourself would you want the sniper rifle or the AR, you would be stupid to choose a sniper rifle, or a crossbow which some military sims are very proud of.
Please finally do something different than everyone other game. Let us have a taste of real war, who will be able to do it better than Dice. Please take a chance, I promise BF 2042 will go down in history.
Spot on man
