Sniper / Recon gameplay mechanics
Long time BF player on PC / PS and Xbox and have about 4 hours into the beta for bf6 (PC)
Initial thoughts
The gameplay feels alot more COD than traditional BF when playing as the recon role with DMR and sniper rifles. It feels almost as a disadvantage using anything with zoom magnification. Reticles feel off with zoom magnification and I felt the need to switch to 1x red for for the ebr opposed to 3.4 - 4 times I'd typically use. Opfor feels to have very fast movement when under any magnification.
Destruction is very well done and the maps seem to have great flow and cover. It just feels like the game speed is much higher than traditional BF again more COD modern warefare feeling and not the the slow and steady pace - ability to clear rooms and corners that the older BF offered.
I'm not sure if I missed it or it's an unlock but it appears there is no scope zero. Some of my favorite moments over the years was sitting 500-1000m away and zeroing the glass for a super long range shot. It appears there is no zero which takes away from that traditional BF feel.
To recap: Sniper / DMR zoom magnification feels off as does reticles - feel disadvantaged using any magnification, gameplay seems to fast too modern warefareish, no rifle zero for sniper rifles.
Hope this helps! really want you guys to nail this one with og players.
