I got beef with the snipers in the beta.

Okay so, I love sniping in BF games normally. I realize a lot of people are praising BF6's sniping but I just don't see why. 

My main beef with it is, there is no ACTUAL sniper scope. WHY? 

Makes no sense. The highest magnification we get is 6x? Why is that? No 8x no 10x, no 12x scope? For a SNIPER RIFLE. 

Most we get is a LPVO? Which is really not a sniper rifle scope, its meant to go on AR-15's and AR-10's. Not bolt action long distance guns. These LPVO's should be a scope you unlock later on. Im just surprised you don't start with something that's an actual dedicated sniper scope. With actual sniping magnification and a snipers reticle. These 6x and 5x scopes are LPVO's not sniper scopes. 

Also, the scope glint is a bit ridiculous given the magnification not being much more than a battle optic. Its like people are holding a spot light up in their hands as soon as they use this little puny optic. I never liked this mechanic when it got introduced to gaming. Its way over done. Its not even a glint, Its a continuous light source like a flash light. If snipers are such an issue we need to make their scope a maglight, why not just limit how many snipers are on the field to achieve the same sort of nerf. 

Scope glint is a trope that is always way over done and why? Because some run and gun call of duty nerds took over battlefield and cried to EA about being sniped in the side of the head all the time as they mindlessly sprint around with their run and gun CoD brains. 

You know a dinosaur like me remember BF without this **bleep**. It wasnt in early entries of either BF or CoD. And then for some reason they decided to add it one day and its been that way ever since. 

Dont get me wrong you can **bleep** with these snipers still, but imo there is no reason to use any of the scopes when they give so little magnification, the reticle is not meant for a sniper rifle to begin with and it glows like a god **bleep** spot light as soon as you use it to the entire map. Might as well just use the acog. Which means your not sniping, your using a bolt action gun with a battle optic. I really hope when this game launches we get real scopes for these guns. Idk what it is with UE5 games and not wanting to give us real magnified optics. 

Anyways I realize this is probably a unpopular opinion, whatever, im not trying to poop on anyone's parade, im just giving my opinion here. IMO this sniper rifle would feel infinitely better with a actual sniper scope, especially if the scope glint is going to be so awful.
