@Trokey66 Yes, but not the COD searchlight version we now seem to be seeing. In BF4 long range sniping was possible and you could aim without being instantly visible to everyone.
In BC2, I used to enjoy being a counter sniper. Now sniper rifles are badly hobbled for range and accuracy and the glint more obvious, meaning someone with an assault rifle simply aims at the glint and opens up without even being able to see the sniper. The restrictions on the sniper mean that a slightly less accurate faster firing weapon with a larger mag has the advantage.
Pulling in effective range to essentially close quarters, means that many weapons become pointless and you get the meta develop (even worse with the specialists like Angel).
