Half the team playing recon and sniper camping destroys the team oriented gameplay, Its coming down to killfarming We need limitations to how many slots are allowed in recon role.

dark_black696 Nah, not the same. And I don’t like my own “answer” more, I just actually understand it. You’re mixing up two completely different ideas and calling them the same thing. One side wants to limit a class to control how people play because they can’t adapt, the other’s saying to stop blaming a class for the team doing bad and to take responsibility instead. Limiting a class doesn’t fix bad teamwork or poor decisions, it just forces people to play your way “play how I want "fix...🤨 Saying “snipers aren’t the problem” isn’t defending the class, it’s pointing out that blaming them is just bad reasoning. Snipers don’t make you lose, bad positioning, lack of coordination, and players who refuse to adapt do. Class limits won’t fix that, they’ll just hide it and have even more people sitting on the respawn screen trying to be recon because that’s what they want to use, just like they already do with vehicles.
You lose more games to supports who don’t drop ammo, or revive when on top of you, tank drivers camping spawn, or engineers who can’t destroy enemy vehicles or are unable to repair your own because the driver’s driven off mid-repair and explodes a few seconds later, than you ever will from a sniper on a hill. Every class has players who mess up or play different from how you want them to and you can’t force them to play your way. It’s always easier to blame a recon than admit the team can’t coordinate. Real balance comes from teamwork and understanding the game, not restrictions. Battlefield isn’t a competitive game. People play to have fun, relax and do their thing, not to stress over stats or be told how to play. Not everything’s about winning, and the ones who can’t handle that are usually the same ones blaming everyone else who are just trying to enjoy the game. But hey, that’s just my take on it.

I am speechless about the dimension of your confusion. Literally all you said there is wrong.
Battlefield is all about competition. Its a First person shooter. People compete for victory in teams. That's the fun we have. Certainly not relaxation. Stats are important, That's why they are so visible. Its like sports you know?
Now its clear you don't get the picture. You are playing the wrong game my friend.
Battlefield isn’t a competitive shooter. It never has been. It’s a sandbox with explosions and a hundred different ways to play. The fact that you think it’s “all about competition” just shows how little you actually get it. There’s no ranked system, no structured balance, no tournament scene. It’s designed for variety, creativity, and fun. The game works because people approach it differently some go for objectives, some support, some snipe, some just enjoy the spectacle. That mix is what makes Battlefield unique. If you want every player to move in formation and play by one set of rules, you’re the one playing the wrong game, my friend.
Battlefield isn’t a competitive shooter
OMG, Unless you are playing pure PvE, all shooters are competitive.
Did you notice that this game has a scoreboard and is presenting statistics? That BF puts you into teams opposing each other?
You clearly have no clue what you are talking about.
Battlefield has always been competitive, there have been squadleaders, teamleaders, commanders, privately organized matches, clans, clanservers. Probably all this happened before your parents allowed you gaming for the first time, sometime around last year or so.
Claiming Battlefield wasn't a competitive shooter only reveals how confused you are. The ignorance with which you are trying to defend yourself being completely lost about this series is not surprising, its a trademark of all these sniper heroes who don' get the game and are in fact completely useless to their team.
This mindset has never been around this strongly before and it has to go, just as the current dumbed down mechanics encouraging it have to go and also just like you better have to.
Maybe stop embarrassing yourself, Publicly claiming BF wouldn't be competitive is the most ridiculous thing to say in this forum. I am not even sure you are not just trolling.Gorongor You might want to slow down a bit. Even if you play Battlefield competitively, it’s still a sandbox shooter at its core. So again, I’ll say it clearly: Battlefield isn’t a competitive shooter. I never said it couldn’t be competitive; what I said is that it’s not designed primarily as one. There’s a big difference.
EA and DICE describe Battlefield as “all-out warfare” and a multiplayer sandbox focused on scale, freedom, vehicles, destruction, and unpredictable player-driven moments, not rigid balance or ranked play.
Sure, it has stats, leaderboards, and clans. Most multiplayer games do. But that doesn’t automatically make it a “competitive shooter” in the same sense as CS2 or Valorant. Battlefield’s identity has always been about freedom, chaos, and creativity within its sandbox, not an esports framework.
So maybe stop twisting words. Battlefield can be played competitively, and people have done that for years, but that doesn’t make competition its core identity. Pretending otherwise ignores how EA and DICE themselves describe and design the series.
