“I literally couldn’t have done anything!” Have those people actually thought about NOT GETTING IN THAT SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE

    I hate games where they show the person who killed you on the map or similar.

    What is the point of getting a good spot with the sniper if after one kill I get hunted down when they respawn. I need to move instantly. That’s stupid.

      I don’t play too many fps games, but I liked that feature in COD:MW2 (yes I am old now). kept the game moving along and it was hilarious to mow people down as they tried to sneak up on you again and again

      I also liked on more mil sim games that it doesn’t have that feature, you just fucking die.

      tl;dr: I’ve only played games where it’s appropriate to the game style

        I know why they do it but I always thought it weird that you see what happens after you die.

        In real life it doesn’t even go black.

      No, what’s stupid is one shot kill stupidly accurate sniper weapons in the first place.

      Either way no one is happy. I think some simple solutions are:

      1. Limit actual sniper ammo, maybe 5-10 rounds total per life.
      2. Anything further than like 150m should require zeroing and accounting for wind even in casual games. It could be simplified/not true to life, but it should be done for balance. IRL snipers are not very viable for most things for a reason. They’re a specialist tool, not an actual alternative to an assault rifle.
      3. No one-shot kill bodyshots from snipers.
      4. Damage heavily reduced with increasing distance.
      5. Accuracy heavily penalized for anything but staying still while prone.
      6. Require a few frames of no mouse/right stick inputs to hold breath/stabilize, limiting snipers to largely static targets
      7. For those who do like to run around with long range weapons especially in games like Battlefield, add a nice DMR. Should fire single shot semi-auto only, but have ammo and mags comparable to an assault rifle, better precision, but damage pretty much the same as an AR.

      First fuck camping. I prefer a more chaotic approach hardcore match with killcam off, 200% dmg… A fart could oOf the enemy and teammates.

      That’s how snipers work in real life. They get one shot then they have to move.
