BF6 is ruined and unplayable at this level

I've been a fan of BF series since Vietnam and the new Battlefield has disappointed more than not. It's just not the same anymore. At all. They are trying, but they are doing the wrong thing. All they needed to do is to upgraded Bad Company 2 or Battlefield 3 with new graphics and maps. THAT'S IT. Instead they have made a weird hybrid between BF and COD, with heavier incline towards COD. 
.....  1. The game speed feels way too fast. Everyone is just sprinting all the time. People are all over the place and the overall game play feels way less strategic or tactical. It's just a huge mess in small maps meant to collect as many frags as you can.
.....  2. What made Battlefield unique is nearly gone. Commander, artillery barrage call, supply and vehicle drops, UAV piloting - none of it exists anymore. Instead it's a pointless meat grinder on pretty bad maps.
..... 3. Maps are ok, but way less than great. How can you compare ANY of these maps to Strike at Karkand or Damavan Peak or even Metro? They aren't even close. 
..... 4. Sniper as a class is completely ruined and useless. It now has only ONE purpose, to be draw fire on itself from the entire enemy team regardless of distance, location or position. The glint is idiotic for the lack of a better word to describe it. Sniper is a patient assassin, that blends with the environment so much that he is barely visible or not visible at all. Waiting to make a perfect kill with as few shots as possible, helping to spot enemies as well. Not the case at all. Instead you get a Super Nova that is attacked as soon as you zoom into your scope. Sometimes I get hit while zoomed into 6X scope while I can't even see the target properly. They are laying or sitting behind the rock so far away, easily aiming for a super bright star called my scope. At the same time, they are way WAY less visible, while not being Recon. It's absolutely ridiculous and **bleep**. And they are able to not only see you but hit you super easily. They don't need to see your head, body, legs... nope.. just aim for the bright light and that's it. Why even bother creating some cool skin for snipers, when all you see is a bright dot?
.... 5. No bullet drop is a bad thing. Any class can basically accurately hit a target from any distance, especially when they are aiming for a sniper. It's silly and unrealistic at all.
.... 6. No ammo crates anywhere. If you run out of ammunition, you can't find any even in the main spawn point HQ. 
At this point I will not buy the game. After playing the Beta for a few days I lost all the initial excitement for the game. It's just  not worth the money and close to 2,000 hours invested in previous version. If they wanted to balance snipers properly, the could have just limited a total number per team. Let's say 8 or 6 total on a 32 men team. If you want to play a sniper, you have to wait in Que while someone drops. As of right now, that class is broken and overall game doesn't really fee like Battlefield.

  • glint was introduced in BF3 IIRC but it's horrible in the current state for BF6. I imagine they'll get some kit stuff to decrease it. Some glints stood out much more than others. I wonder if the scope distance being greater caused a stronger glint. some glints looked prismatic with the ROYGBIV touch.

    The RPG had a projectile drop to it :D lol

    If the glint has an almost 'rainbow' effect to it, it means that sniper can OHK you at the current range to the chest or head. Maybe thats what you mean?

  • I completely agree. The idea that snipers break games is such bull**bleep**! They don't! PUBG is a prime example of a game with bullet drop, no glint, suppressors, cover and long ranges and sniping is a non issue. Yes Battlefield is different but those differences make it even harder for snipers. Cover, smoke, mraps, tanks, gunships, cas, bombs, other snipers, hell even a shotgun and a quad can stop a snipers. Snipers are meant to offer a counter to wild pushes and cover to offensive actions. When you nerf one portion of combined arms then the entire system starts to break.

    Movement is trash also. Sliding needs to go away. I would LOVE to watch some idiot try to slide in kit if it wasn't for the fact that they would hang up, face plant and blow their face off with an AD. And to go from that straight to a crouching jump BS? Battlefield does not need to be COD!!!

    In BF3 it was still playable, although way worse than in BF2 and BC2. BF2 and BC2 are by far the best in Battlefield series. BF2 was just an amazing game. I had 952 hours of play there or close to that. Supply drops, commander, vehicle drop, spotting enemies without being detected, UAV, artillery strikes - just too awesome and unique. BC2 was pretty amazing as well. Both games were actually well balanced and strategic. BF6 is a huge upgrade to BF5, but comparing to BF2 and BC2, they are still working backwards with gameplay mechanics.
