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.
