Scope Glint needs to go.
Honestly, the claim that scope glint is the only way to balance scoped weapons in gameplay is a lazy excuse for an equally lazy mechanic that effectively not only punishes players for using a scoped ...

Agreed. They did it as a “balancing” tactic but you aren’t even capable of amassing enough bodies to make a massive impact most of the time. Part of the fun of sniping used to be finding a good spot and camping it out or out maneuvering another skilled sniper. They took all of the guesswork and tactics out of it by adding sniper glint because you just need to be looking at an enemy for them to see you.
Thing is, glint is visible even in sub-50m distance combat - how is that fair for a bolt-action? Like the moment smoke starts fading the entire enemy team will spot you before you even get a chance to see them. I've played for about 5 hours today and It's happened at least 100 times already, its ludicrous. They want recon to move in and yet they dont want anyone to snipe even at closer distances? Literally just use a shotgun and forget sniper, thats what i've learned they want. (And that's actually moronic), severe balance change needed on this.
It's also the fact that the glint hides the enemy sniper fully, like you cant even see their head, it should BARE MINIMUM scale down as you get closer to the player (or zoom in on them) so that its not filling 80% of our screens lol. It's such an oversight, I'm fine with glint existing so long as its reduced to about 20% the scale it is now, snipers would be easily seen still but not like literal flares for a landing strip.
