Update 3.0.0 and the death of snipers.
Hey there EA Dice Team, Firstly, I just want to say how much I've enjoyed this game since it's initial release. Despite all the problems it's had and backlash you've faced as a team, it's come...

OHK weapons are really a thing that should be kept to an absolut minimum.
If recons want to play CQC, use a gun that is intended for that (shotgun, automatic weapon).
Sniper-rifles can one-hit kill at any distance with a head-shot, that should be more than enough.
We cannot OHK at long ranges with ARs by selecting a non-auto firemode and some special ammo. Having this 2-in-1 weapon system for snipers are weird.

The reality is now anytime you get caught of guard in CQC you need to hit a difficult shot very quickly to stay alive
Sniping is just straight up bad now if you don't camp the edges of the map where no one can touch you
It's just boring
And playing CQC with the sws and an 8x was definitly harder than playing with automatic weapons or a shotgun
- @InS_Hypno I understand your argument.
The problem is why people that run with an SMG/shotgun (which are useless at anything but close range), can get one-shot by an sniper-rifle at close range?
Why should sniper-rifles have 2 one-hit-kill functions (no matter how much skill it involves)?

It's simply unfun
Even just moving from an objective to another it's pretty frustrating to just encounter someone close range and basically being dead 8/10 times
The only way to play sniping effectively is to camp at one far away spot and never move
- @InS_Hypno My problem is that most of the games balancing is rock-paper-scissors and this is not really rock-paper-scissors.
Sniper-rifles are long/medium range weapons and making them into 'ghetto-shotguns' are giving them an advantage compared to other guns. Why shouldn't an SMG be able to one-shot kill with a headshot at any range then (it still has lower bullet velocity, worse optics etc etc)?
Most "snipers" doesn't really PTFO anyway, and this way of balancing just adds to the frustrating game-play in BF2042. Play CQC use the right tool.
