So yeah, after playing for a couple of hours I just wanna say I hope the sniper glint is gone after this open beta. We are playing battlefield not call of duty. Now if the sniper is facing the Sun yeah sure show the glint but otherwise please remove.
Ive been playing since battlefield bad company 2 and loads has changed with every new battlefield games as yes I have to admit sniping with no glint was so easy because you could just get some where high or even just lay in grass and just pick everyone off but since they added glint I've have to adapt but there's different ways to sniping fast and quick before getting the glint spotted by other sniper alot of people just need to learn how to snipe properly as you have to be fast and quick and learn how to snipe as battlefield 6 definitely feels like fast gunplay but I don't mind that play style even with using a snipe as people just need to learn how to snipe properly because there's no way they will get rid of the glint as they already announced they will reduce the glint brightness down but it will be the same as all the rest of the brightness of the battlefield games.
That's absolute fiction Chambo472. BF3 introduced the mechanic. It came out in 2011.
The Nvidia 400 series was the most common card and everyone played at the most common resolution 1080p.
It was introduced to stop hill-hugging camp fests, it was to create a deterrent to camping in ridiculous glitch locations and not contributing to the objective play. Just sniping people for kills and adding nothing to the game.
By design, it prevents camping because the community wanted it and still does.
Get to a location, take your shot, risk having revealed your location or relocate. That's it's intended purpose.
It was added in the days when graphic fidelity was terrible and people mainly had 720p TVs. Today there is no excuse. Bring back the Binos, add swirl or tracer round or something to briefly give away the position when shooting. Otherwise, look around, guess where a sniper might be. Look there. You will see them no problem. Counter with good tactics and use of gadgets/vehicles.
Increased stagger/suppression sure. Sniper glint? C’mon that doesn’t even make sense. Snipers are not OP. Players should have to try and avoid/counter sniper tactics by using cover, vehicles, smoke etc. But everyone wants to rock a cqb sight and spam full auto like it’s COD. There is literally no argument in 2025 to support sniper glint.
Bad Company 2 didn't have it and that was the best battlefield they've ever made. Unfortunately many of you didn't get to experience it. Sniping was fun, rewarding and not overpowered at all. It was recons job to thin out the enemy infantry but also counter the enemies recon and to spot where they're at for their own team. Like a game of hide and go seak but with high powered rifles. That's what sniping should be..not this arcadey spotlight nonsense
It was definitely in 3
Well I like to play as a sniper/recon, I usually leave a motion sensor with my team and cover the longest route near the base we are trying to secure or try to find the highest point (best view) to paint where the enemy is coming from. if my team is engaged with the enemy in close quarters (I'm mostly useless there) then I'm trying to keep the enemy from flanking them. Up to that point I think I'm being a team player and I'm playing to my roll as best as possible
My problem with the glare is that it gives me away to enemy fire. There are snipers that are better but I run into squads or single players that are trying to flank and see me as soon as I aim. I don't spect to take them all down but whats the point in the scout class specialty being Intel and being able to spot enemies when everyone can see you when trying to do your job. The way the scout works best is by staying in the back on sniper fights instead of pushing forward with your team.
And I have pushed with my team with the scout class using the pistol and c4 which works better then trying to snipe in close quarters. Whats the point to the scout class, you might as well get rid of it and fuse it with assault, that way you have the sniper and proper primary weapon. Since assault can tank dmg you can deter the enemy better by gunning and running or sitting back and sniping
For open areas the scout class has the ability to spot enemies so it will give a more active role to try to spot enemies and avoid getting your team wiped do to an ambush (scout should move with thier team). But because of the glint the enemy is already wary of your position which honestly makes your role really difficult (for those who play with a bolt action rifle) so the only way play is to lay back and wait. How many kills you get will depend on your own skill and ability to do so (if hope they remove aim assist)
If gint can't be removed then I would prefer something closer to what someone else posted about all scopes having a glint based on their magnification with the exception of iron sight. In which case they should remove the snipers ability to spot and give it something else cause the glint would make it pointless
You making stuff up now?
Nobody stated value anywhere, please provide good feedback, don't strawman what others have said.
The glare gives away a position and a sniper fight may ensue, so you make your reveal take your shot and either risk staying hoping your glint was not spotted or that you are a better player and will snipe them 1st when you see their glint. "What" you were shooting at before the sniper fight is your business. 👍
Tried the iron sight but you have to be close enough to see them. It's more like I'm feeling for shots instead of me setting an ambush or making the enemy think twice before advancing. If there is no glint they rush and shot, if there is glint they at least use smoke grenades before advancing. If there was no glint to beging with it would make them weary after the first shot specially when you see your ally drop next to you
Mostly use Pistol for recon so I don't get spotted and I have managed to get some kills but I would like to be able to use a sniper as is intended and not be spotted before I even fire my first shot
Your scenario for the most valuable use case of the recon class is for snipers to sit back and only counter-snipe each other? That is literally promoting solo play outside of objectives. You have no concept of a sniper engaging other classes that are on objective?
Like I already mentioned, if you or the devs are not creative enough to actually balance the class just cap the number of active recon users because I agree sniper lobbies are no fun, but handicapping the class is not the solution (hell just remove the class altogether if you can't balance it for its intended role)
