sniper score

Hi. I am getting non stop 1000m+ headshots with a sniper rifle and also my kill has been 10+ with no deaths, yet i have the least score at the end of the round. Please help me. This is causing me a major set back on progressing.

Before i was always #1 after the end of the round, now i am last, yet i am playing the same way i did before and also getting the same kill death ratio after end of round example : 10(+) - 0

I would really appreciate some feedback and help on this urgently.

Thank You

    In the latest patch marksman bonus for headshot distance was changed to 25, regardless of headshot distance. Here is what the official patch notes have to say on that matter:

    Marksman bonus removed

    Marksman distance based points bonus removed as its existence promotes a less objective play style

    • Marksman bonus now gives a flat score of 25, shows distance within parenthesis

    That's why now you will get 135 points per long range kill (100 for kill + 10 for headshot + 25 points of marksman bonus) instead of 1100+ you got in the past.

    so basically 1 cannot snipe anymore? i mean the entire purpose of sniping is been undetected (hate it when you can spot a sniper in the game), your position is given away due to scope reflection and now the main PURPOSE of sniping = DISTANCE. I ONLY snipe in bf4, so this sucks really!!!

    You can still do it, but as "its existence promotes a less objective play style" you wont get that many points for it.

    Plenty of snipers out there manage to find purpose and rewards in creating good spawnpoints, blowing up tanks, using spotting gadgets, taking basesetc, all while sniping people - now these snipers might not get those 1000 meter kill-shots very often but at least their team wont loose because of them.

    Now you might not like the answer but it was precise and answered just what you asked so thanks to @spitfiresiemion for taking the time to look it up in the patchnotes.

    If you don't like this change you can always leave feedback to the BF4 team using the appropriate channels on the Battlelog forums or the CTE reddit 🙂
