Sniping in BF6 is Ruined.

As a bc2 vet i'm dissapointed with the sweetspot, its a garbage mechanic, sniper should one shot in the UPPER chest up to 20 meters so this way agressive recon will be back

Snipers in this game may finally be useful because anyone that sniped in bf3 or 4 (I cant speak for 1 or 5 because the stench) provided nothing to the team. Maybe this time statistically accurate players will actually get a few more kills and actually conquer an objective or two. When I snipe I do it for myself and I'm on the bottom of the leaderboard with 20 / 4 but when I play literally any other class I'm top 8 atleast every time. Most snipers I see are in my opinion are not that great, which is fine, but that's the point maybe a decent support or assault or engineer will now also be a decent sniper because

when you say skill or intelligence I think what you mean is / statistically rare (20% at best) moments when you (false validation) accidentally guess where the enemy was going to move, at 300 meters, and one your 3 shots finally get that slimly kill / this higher velocity and less bullet drop will give snipers a better chance of actually killing an enemy in the OPEN, with no cover, running straight at you, slightly moving left to right (kind of), alone, while death scrolling tick tok, smacking a cart, eating a taco etc. 

I hope people actually think about what I mean when I say this because when I want to actually be useful to my team, I play any other class or unselect a sniper. Whenever I see an enemy sniper I don't care because I know they're usually a non threat and usually I'm right. What can they really do, they can't move up, they cant run away usually because I can shoot them down and they can't really hit me because I'm moving wasd on cycle.

Movement speed has been slowed down because in real life you cant turn on a dime at 20 mph (+1), velocity has been increased for snipers (+1) and bullet drop has been decreased (+1). Congrats sniper fans sniping might be now somewhat a threat (maybe even balanced)

Now I do agree with the map size, scopes, more sniper selection, size of the tracer and glint but not bullet drop or velocity. And I really wanted that to make that clear because I'm to old now to not return this game if you somehow gas light them into changing the bullet drop or velocity.

It is still ruined, i'm refunding the game at the moment. I tried all the maps, and they are tiny, even Operation Firestorm, which used to be sniper heaven is just a small corridor with buildings. The bipod is terrible, no FOV at all, the sniper rifles feels like quickscope snipers i COD MW3, and you can only use them as such. The scopes are terrible, and you have to use the 6x for ages even to get a 10x, and i bet that is crap as well. I wanted BF3 M98B sniping, not this nonsense. I thought in the beta, oh well, at least there will be some giant sniper maps on release...NOPE. The sniper class is utterly ruined. I enjoyed sniping in BF2042 way more than this slop. 

This post aged well. Sniping is still **bleep**ing terrible. Thanks for ruining BF6 EA. 

Not gonna lie the sniping alont makes me wanna go play 2042 I love playing that class and while 2042 wasn't the best game in many situations the sniping In my opinion was peak 

This, and returning to scope glint on 4X and above. Why would EA think that scope glint on iron sights was a good idea.

i shouldn’t of got the game I only play for the sniping and I’m constantly getting picked off by ARS and LMGS from a distance that shouldn’t be possible and having to get a headshot while getting hit with bullets with that hit flinch is impossible very disappointed such a waste of money 

Even sniping in bf 2042 felt like cod
