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 ...

As a player with thousands of hours across all BFs alone (not to mention any other shooter with any sniper weapon equivalent) who played with Recon and snipers since forever - glint needs to stay. It's a tad too bright on the streamers gameplay, but it cannot be turned off. It's essential to the balance between classes and weapons.
We've been there without scope glint once upon a time. And it only led to hills, mountains and buildings being literally littered with hordes of sniper wannabes, camping one spot unpunished the entire match. Glint, while completely unrealistic, gives a critical indication when someone is occupying a shooting lane. Smoke trails would have to be very prominent to be a replacement in the usual BF chaos - and tbh would be far more distracting considering how many snipers there can be in any given match.
I dont want to be too brush, but the suggestion to remove quickscope - the most interesting and skillful way to play snipers since at least ET - gets a big "no" from me. The only thing this would achieve is to push all the snipers even further from the action. Again, we've been there and done that. It is frustrating for the playerbase as a whole. That's not healthy for the game, even if "that's how the real world snipers work" - it's a game first and foremost, real world be damned.
It's either glint or a hard limit on sniper rifles allowed to be taken in any given match. And the limit would have to be really low, a ~3 per 32 team low (or 10% of players).
I just posted basically the same thing. I think the majority of people saying this aren't taking into consideration the other players who are being sniped. It's a balancing mothod so sniping isn't more OP then it already is. To ask for an absolute upper hand with sniper rifles is greedy as hell imo. As someone that snipes and runs the ground, I completely agree glare should stay, otherwise, like you said, mountains and windows will be infested with snipers that nobody can see. I understand wanting to feel like a sneaky sniper but at the end of the day it's just too strong of a role to give players unlimited access to in a match. But I digress. The glare is pretty bright in bf6 and on a 3x or less scope it doesn't need to necessarily be there.
If they could dim the glare and fix the one shot kill to the body at full health from the sniper then I'd say we'd be good. Sniper 1 shots in battlefield have always been and always should be the only 1 hit kills.
