Ok: So I heard from random Alpha tester @ BF3 will have"REMOVABLE SCOPE FOR SNIPER" aka you can use Iron sights for sniper at will.


AKA: people who used bolt action in WaW CUMMING BUCKETS. I always played as a "sniper" but rushed as the class, if this is true it means I can use Iron sights CQC with any bolt action or smei auto as sniper. I am literally jacking off.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Yeah, but the bolt-actions will always take two body shots to kill from full health, so be sure to aim for the head.

Pffft.  Bolt + pistol = Bf2 style.

Worst idea ever. If you remove the scope, they are not snipers, they are riflemen.

Could encourage less distant camping.

It won't. Distant camping will stay and a small group of lamers will use it to get insta kills up close.

Didn't you read?  Bolts are not insta-kill unless it's a headshot.

What lamer are you referring to?  On BC2, as reccon, using my RDS semi-auto sniper and sensor ball, provided squad level close support to my teammates arming the mcoms.

So, can you exit a game before the next match starts?

This pissed me off in bc2.

A lot of shit in BC2 didn't make sense at all.

since when did BC2 and BC1 made any sense to you? hmmm.. BC2 MP is a lot better than BC1 MP though.

these days video games dont make any sense, what does that tell you?

Wut


BC2 is okay, guns are lazers. The players are retarded, the maps fucking suck. Rush is the worst game mode devised. It's stuck between CoD and BF (as if someone just sort of cut each franchise in half and tried to weld BF and CoD together.)


Your statements don't make sense to me at all. Most games do make sense, CoD MP is just like UT2004 minus the double jumping and vehicles. It's got all of the gay though.

That is the insta kills I am referring to, yes I did read. And what you are doing in bc2 is exactly what snipers are not supposed to do imo, thats called special forces.

Wait.  You have a problem with a player skilled enough to make close quarter headshots using a bolt-action?

And, you want snipers to stay back and camp?

I have a problem with kits not sticking to their original heritage, snipers in any way or form are not frontline troops, hence they should not be given the oppertunity to run forwards and even get the chance to get an easy kill.

So in a way yes, I want snipers to stay back and 'camp'. Because face it, only a handful of the snipers in BF2 actually consequently stayed back an entire round guarding a single flag that no one cared about, the rest were always within the 'combat zone' (The area where most of the fighting occured).

Furthermore giving snipers the ability to remove the scope and use iron sights just turns them into glorified riflemen with overpowered weapons. Good game balance.

But really there is no point in discussing this, since those idiots at DICE will just go ahead and implement it anyway, just to rebalance it after a shitstorm of bitching.

So, you are telling me you never used the bolt actions in close quarters in BF2?  I defended many a flags by my lonesome as a sniper class on BF2.

I've seen a vid with an SVD using ironsights. Kinda the Russian versiont of the EBR.

How's the recoil?  Less than BC2?
