Funny, I just got out of a match where the entire enemy team were snipers.
Every.
Single.
One.
They had a 360 view of the map and if you tried to do anything you died, bam, just like that.
And the only counter is... more sniping.
Do you see the problem?
My suggestion:
Make snipers rifle be more like battle rifles.
Snipers will stay close to their team but a bit farther.
They will be giving covering fire and information about enemy positions all while still being useful.
Why?
Because they are not a KM away, they're here with you, only a few seconds sprint away.
That means they hack objectives, give support to the team by covering fire (which is semi auto and can be shot pretty fast at this range) and be scouts.
This is what Battlefield 3 did, at least at the start before you got the heavy snipers, and it worked for the first few days of BF3. |

Yes, I see the problem they caused. They were meant to be a serious obstruction.
Did that sniper team actually win the match? My hats off to them if they did. If not, they done goofed.
Actually, they did win.
There was like one guy in a scout suit uninterrupted because snipers made sure anyone coming anywhere close an objective gets hammered.
And then he went sniping too.
In hindsight I could use an LAV and use it as cover to hack the control points, but still, kinda stupid how the match turned out.
And it wouldn't be like that without bad design.
Its not like it was one Militia sniper covering an area.
There were at least 3 snipers covering every area of the map, using either Prototype or Officer gear.
It took less than 4 seconds for a heavy out of cover to die.
My assault didn't fare well considering even though I could strafe to avoid sniper fire from one direction, the other had an easy shot.
And I can't doge fire from all directions.
Especially if I try to have a firefight where I have to focus on the enemy. |
