Solution for too many online snipers.

They should make it so that if you miss more than 3 shots, your rifle blows up and you die. This would be a funny solution to get rid of all the terrible snipers.
I loved the sniper in battlefield 1943 because it was hard as hell to use and no one used snipers. But in Battlefield bad company2 there are way too many snipers. Its awful when I join a game and my whole squad is snipers, they dont help win the game just stay away in a corner. Also smetimes enemies have a entire cliff full of snipers it just anoys me
you know what i do when i kniw theres a sniper? grab my trusty neostead shotgun and go hunting!
personally i din medics the cheap class. they can revive teamates no matter what killed them, they can heal themselves, and they got heavy machine guns. literally ive seen medics just run and fire and fire and fire and fire... its ridicoulous.

The problem is they don't cover you, hell they don't do shit (most of them).Eldarion said:So you just want to remove a playstyle you don't like?
Fine, I'm taking my rifle and goin home. You all aren't good enough to have me cover you anyway.
The problem is ign and the likes saying 'teh elites are teh snipez' so people 'go with the flow'.
I prefer scouting or being the engineer so they arn't very effictive against me.
In REAL LIFE there is currently, in development/use a sniper detection system that lets you detect the direction a bullet came from by listening to measuring the sound wave of the bullet travelling through the air. It fits easily over a soldiers shoulder/arm.
Add this as an unlockable. Problem solved. Snipers? Fine, but now there's people who are SNIPER HUNTERS.

this. Make them have to lead, make REAL bullet drop, not that BC crap. Make bolt action or slower rifles be the one shot kills. None of that 50.cal bull. 50 cals are used to snipe from extremely long range, on single targets. Not in the middle of a battle.Kair said:
Good snipers are fun to have around.
My problem is bad snipers on team games that are just taking up space and causing problems. You know the type, the shitty players that spend their time a mile away from the battle and can't hit the broadside of the barn but they're too chickenshit to move up and actually get anything done.
Even worse are the ones that have a decent k/d ratio but still aren't actually accomplishing anything because they don't understand why they're being useless despite the fact that they're getting kills. I.e. the retards that are shooting everywhere except at the objective that needs to be defended/blown up.
Once again though, these morons are easy to troll. Smoke grenades do the job wonderfully and so does just flat out counter-camping their hidey holes (cause you know they never leave them like a proper sniper would) and stabbing them relentlessly.
(I suppose if you had one mounted somewhere that would work too, but I haven't heard of that ever being done)
Realistic sniper rifles would fix a lot of the problems with them, but let's face it: The way "sniper rifles" are used in games is in more of a Designated Marksman role than in the true "sniper" fashion. Maybe if games went in more of that direction with appropriate weapons and none of this quick handling .338 LAPUA/.50 BMG sniper rifle nonsense, things would be better.

A 50 cal wouldn't be bad to have in game assuming they actually modeled it correctly. You cannot properly shoot a .50 BMG Barret from anything but prone.Mcface said:

There really isn't one in Halo since there are limited snipers, and in Battlefield it is getting better because people are figuring out that there is a time and place for everything. I don't have Call of Duty anymore say I cannot say about that, though it was pretty bad when I had it.
That wouldn't stop them. In Delta Force 2 I used to snipe with a SAW, and in Black Hawk Down I took snipers out with a G3. Hell, even in Crysis and STALKER I carry an assault rifle around that is set up for sniping (semi auto, scope, silencer).GamesB2 said:
