SNIPER GLINTS GOT TO GO
The sniper glints in the beta are really distracting and take away from the stealthy feel that sniping should have. If you’re going to have ghillie suits and camouflage, they should actually help you...

Sorry but the glint needs to stay. Stealthy part? I get what you are saying but here is the thing...do you really think anyone would play anything other than sniper if there was no glint? I played a game over the weekend that at least 14 of the 24 players on a team were sniping. I should have taken a screenshot of the view I saw.. I literally could see at least 8-10 glints at the same time and hearing the high pitch bullets going by. If there was no glint, NO ONE, would even get to the objective to take it. That's not complaining, that's just fact. Otherwise, there would be no disadvantage to sniping and everyone would be doing it - both sides. What's the point of an objective then?
Also, I saw PC players popping off sniper rifle rounds also to the point it was a semi-automatic. I've always believed that there should be a max number of snipers on each side to prevent games in which there is a ridiculous number of snipers but then people would complain...again, what's the point of an objective if everyone is sniping?
Could drop sniper rifle headshot damage at long range to below 100 and bodyshot damage down to 49.
Yes but the glints literally take away from being a sniper. I remember seeing the same thing when I was playing. All I see is glints in the distance. If you ever played BC2 then you know snipers weren’t really an issue at all. Sure a good sniper is annoying but they can be dealt with. Plus unless you’re getting headshotted then it’s not really an issue. Body shots are a hit marker. You get punished for playing sniper. What other class get penalized for ads, it’s basically a big bill board saying here I am.
As op pointed out this was a non issue in bc2; now no one wants to play recon it’s not enjoyable; playing recon takes skill with positioning and bullet drop removing glint takes nothing away and adds to the enjoyment of the game. We do not want to play a cod or Fortnite iteration, make it realistic.
bc2 had smaller maps.
