Battlefield - How about a no LMG playlist? I swear, every single game I ever played on BFBC2 almost everyone was whoring LMG's the fact that an LMG can out shoot a person with a sniper rifle across the map, the fact assault rifles cannot to jack-shiz against the LMG class is actually unbearable... I sold my game due to the fact that the LMG runs the game and I kept on getting the two same retarded maps, the map where you paradrop into a snowy village at night next to two rivers and the one near the dam.

Nice contribution...
If it makes you feel better next time I'll type "^This"
Thats just posting for the sake of posting, in both ways you contribute nothing to the discussion.
And how does your post?
Have you read the forum posting guidelines?

really? Rather than learning how to take out snipers, you'd rather be lazy about it and just remove them from the game? First of all, they would never do this to MW2 because they said "They want you to play the game THEY made..." Which means if grenade launchers stay, snipers stay too.

Second of all... I don't know what servers you're playing on, but I have never seen a "Sniper infestation"

Here's an idea for those that complain about snipers... "Learn to play the game." They're not god-like... They bleed just like every other class in the game. It makes me sad that people would rather remove a class they have trouble fighting against than learn how to actually beat that class...
Oh come on it says specifically in my post I didn't say this...

And snipers are a problem in bad company 2 because most of them suck and practically none go for the objective meaning you have teams of incompetent lone wolves.
Probably shouldn't have used the word "you" there. If anything I meant the universal you. While I'll admit I have never played BC2. In just about every game I've played there were people that would rather go lone wolf instead of contributing to the team, despite their class.

It's a big problem when it comes to pub gaming. I know it's a lot harder to get groups together in console games, but for the pc I've found it easy to find a clan or group of friends that work together to get things done.

I don't see the point in everyone bitching about all the other classes. People will do what they want. As the saying goes, "All's fair in love and war." If you don't like what other people are doing, don't whine, just don't play. Simple as that.

Man I miss PC Battlefield :/

New gaming PC hates battlefield and bluescreens if I try and run them... it's freakin tragic.

I'll always have Xbox though and thankfully Bad Company console is much better than that piece of crap modern combat they released on 360.

This idea sounds stupid. What about those in the group who are only really good with snipers? Every online shooter I've played, I'm typically the only one crazy enough to pick up the thing and use it effectively.

My problem with snipers (in Bad Company 2 and videogames in general) is not those guys on the other team trying to kill me (and failing). No, my problem are those idiots on MY TEAM who think they are "elite" but are really not and are draging the team down by not going after/protecting the objectives!

Death to all snipers.

i think the reason why ppl hate snipers is because, there was no warning or anything that they were being watched and lined up for a snipe. for example ur playin bc2 ur just happily walking along la la la la la la... then POW ur DEAD. no warning no nothing. and thats y ppl have a problem with snipers. with other fire fights u see ur opponent and more or less ahead of time ull know if ur dead or not.

as i said b4 once i realize theres a sniper i run around around cover and bushes, nvr running in a straight line and popping them with my favorite gun, the shotgun.

The only game that I have realy had a problem with snipers is in MW2. Too amny ways to get past the snipers weakness to create a super weapon

QFT. What a dumb idea. I guess we should have a "noob-tube-free" playlist, and a "grenade-free" playlist, and a "shotgun-free" playlist too. I see those all the time, so they should probably be removed. Ya know, for balance purposes.

I will only be happy when we end up throwing rocks at each other, so long as the rocks are the same size, and it's on dedicated servers.
then we can have a weapons free playlist where nobody dies and all just sit and talk out are problems... it would be the best game ever
(Sarcasm)

OT: Really, too many snipers? Now I have seen a rise in idiots who use Sniper rifles like shotguns but they usually end up in last

Snipers have never been that much of a problem to me. Then again I know better to stay away from their line of sight, give them the respect they deserve and you'll be likely to survive. And then circle around to their backside and slice those motherfuckers if they're being a pest.

I will admit though, that in MW2 those intervention guys (you know, the funny ones that come up close and quickscope you) are a menace sometimes. Everyone wants to be a fucking sniper in that game so some matches are just ruined by default. Ghillie suited happy campers taking potshots at each other. And there's nothing you can do about it. As soon as you pop out for a second to take a breezer, you get a .50 in the forehead.

But you're still just being a tourneyfag. You can't just remove a weapon or a game-element because you don't like it. But, a separate PLAYLIST with no snipeywepons would be okay. But who would play that? NO INTERVENSHUN!?!?

I never had any sniper problems, besides the ones in MW2 who run around with the Intervention and quick-scoping everyone at point blank range.
Pray tell, what exactly is wrong with using the strategy that requires the highest amount of skill and reaps the least reward?

Nope...

Anyway, in Counter-Strike alot of servers are disabling all snipers except the Scout, which is a great move.
But in TF2, on the other hand, you'd ruin the balance and teams would lose alot of their defense. A good TF2 team NEEDS a Sniper.

Yeah I put I want a separate playlist option. I completely understand the position of snipers and respect the ones that don't suck.

But as you said some games are ruined by default. That's why I want a sniper free playlist option.

I deal with it by waiting for a muzzle flash and responding to it with a bullet to the head.
Counter sniping is fun.
