Snipers need limiting to 1 per side
The game is unplayable it's impossible to reach an objective, it's just a snipefest with everyone camping the edge of the map with DXR and NTW It really is spoiling the game

@RUMPLE9 It is not the fault of the sniper rifle, it is an issue with the maps. All BF2042 maps encourage long range engagements and vehicles. With most of the maps there is actual no tactical advantage to deploy infantry, its just because the game says so.
Sometimes, if I’m really really lazy i’llnplonk my * down and snipe for a distance. And I feel bad about it. But I’m too tired.
normally though I use the sniper (on bf4) as a beacon spawn for the team. And place it near the flag objective and then run and cap the flag, I can’t shoot for hell, so I’m always playing a support role. And on bf4 I get rewarded for this play style (with my 0.7kd) by still being pretty close to top of the leader board. Which is nice, especially when I I have 2-14k/d and place nee t to someone with say 20-9 kD.
in bf2042, I find that the leaderboard is still very much orientated to k/d being most important thing ever. So I’m totally deinsentivised to play.
So I just played a game of Rush. Soon as you spawn you can see a whole line in a row of glinting sniper scopes. I don't know if it is a clan doing this or something but it has to be stopped.
As for the game being ruined I have said before maybe people should only get minimal points for kills, and most points should be awarded for PTFO actions and secondarily support actions. Kills should come last, because most kids these days only care about their k/d ratio and it will get worse when DICE introduce stat monitoring in season 2

it's always been a point of contention. "snipers" are useless but they paid for the game too so it's hard for me to tell them they can't play the way they want. it's too boring for me though i can't do the long range thing unless i'm trolling snipers with an M5 rocket or lis. always fun to zap someone from 500m with an M5 rocket when they keep missing you (hold on bottom crosshair of reticle for that range)
Sniper no Sniping!
Snipers are fine. The problem is when people dont go get them
I'm curious if you're not worried about your K/D and are just focused on the PTFO aspect and winning the match then why do you care if the other team has a bunch of snipers?
It's been my experience most "snipers" are actually pretty much useless and spend most of the round so far away from the action camping on their own ammo boxes that they really have no impact on the round. Not to mention most of them burn through 10-20 shots for every 1 kill they get, lol.
It's been a "thing" in Battlefield titles going all the way back to BF1942 that the side with the most snipers usually lose, so I don't really even pay them much mind unless they're on my side and we're getting rolled because of it.
If they wanna play bush-wookie out on the far edges of the map so be it. It's relatively easy to avoid they're sniper fire because like I said most of 'em couldn't hit the broad side of a barn anyway.
- I don't think limiting sniper is getting you somewhere. If you think there are too many snipers then do something about it.
IF you can’t reach them, try to counter snipe them
IF you can flank them hunt them down.
Only if you don’t adapt the situation and play with tunnel vision on the Objective the situation will not change.
If you push the sniper out of their comfort zone you have already got a victory.
@Ironhead841 lol 10-20 shots? if sniper need so many bullets for a kill or a hit, he should consider to change the weapon. ^^
I would say with the High Power you should get at least 2 kills per mag if you get more its even better ^^

Totally agree that the Objective rewards should be much higher and the kill rewards reduced.
Also, Actions such as re-supply, heals, revives etc... should have higher rewards as well to encourage team play.
For me, the K/D is c-rap anyway because I die so often during spawning it doesn't really matter. Easily 1/2 my deaths are within 3-5 seconds of spawning because of the ridiculous spawn points, spawn campers (Vehicle AND infantry), vehicles that explode upon spawning, or spawning in front of enemies.
