I observed that most players who don’t contribute to the team or who become bottom players are snipers, bolt action camping non objective playing snipers. I think that players should be more helpful to the team instead of sitting 200m away from an objective and not protecting an objective. Hence Stat-lock mechanics should be implemented for this class. The way this stat-lock mechanic works is that a player needs to have as much as 70 objective defends to access the bolt action sniper squads. Or basing on a players win rate, only a 70% win rate ratio will be able to use said squad. What do you think of stat-locking boltie snipers? should mortars be next?

Seriously? Have you ever consider new player’s experience?
Of course this game should not and designed not to encourage sniping. But for those who are tired of get slaughtered by veteran’s full auto. Sniping is their best way to continue playing this game. Their last place of getting some “game experience”.

Yes I did and I have the solution too, it’s called an Exit match button.

Not exactly fan of limiting / locking things, but if something has to be done id suggest similar system as tanks / planes has. Aka only certain amount of sniper squads at given time, even tho that would majorly fk up germuns in moscow that has the mkb with snipers.
I was only talking about bolt action snipers. Semi auto or full auto sniper players usually play the objective.

Not sure about that…
Depends on how one plays as a sniper. You don’t need to be in the objective to defend it with a sniper rifle, but you need to keep in mind that the objective is what matters and how do to your part as a sniper to help the team. I don’t care if a sniper makes 20 kills/match as long as those kills are helping the team (MG gunners, flamethrowers, radio operators etc). Also one of the most important things a snipers does is INTEL. I would trade in a heartbeat a trigger happy sniper for one that gives intel (marks) and takes out high level threats before the wipe out my team and storm the objective.
Maybe reversing the order in which you get the rifles might be a better ideea, SAs before BAs. I mean even though i have SA snipers, i stil only use BAs in my sniper squad and i use the SAs in my other squads for marksmen.

Mmmh… you’re wrong, in part. Not counting the full auto late snipers ppl can unlock, effectively making them great assaulters, I often use bolties snipers and end up top. Granted, I learnt to find good flanking points and actively denies enemy reinforcements flows… But I even assault with them as I equipped good pistols and those are all I need cqc.
It’s true that most ppl use them wrong however, and hug the same window the entirety of a match when they should go forward or at least disrupt enemy reinforcements

Regarding any restrictions for chossing classes, in short term: Absolutely no.

Sniping is done so well in this game. It is one of the most satisfying elements and I enjoy it immensely.
Sniper Classes are always very popular in games, but in all fairness what the majority of people do in games cant really be classified as sniping. Id call them observers, they would have to be able to hit something and position properly to make the transition to sniper.
take away the sniper rifle and they just become observers with machineguns. Still wont move.
Maybe we just put every class on limits, yeah, anyone that runs fast and guns down 40 before being taken out, we sit him out for 10 min, and anyone with premium weapons give them only 2 bullets so he can’t run over games, hell everyone just can’t play the way they want what fun would that be?
Of course, you don’t care, that poor dude with serious lag issues, who gets gunned down while he thinks he got his shot off first 5m away just to see he is dead long before he fired. That guy trying to find a way to jsut survive and have some entertainment, he isn’t going to help you win, he shouldn’t even be allowed in your game. Let’s limit strategic objective players to 3 deaths then sit out for 10 minutes. Does all this sound absurd? The thread is absurd. Win some, lose some, adjust and deal with it. If you think you got robbed because you paid all that premium money to win every time, and what defeats you isn’t your play it’s everyone else, but you still lost, you did get robbed, make Enlisted sit out they charge way too much and hooked another fish.
BTW I’m not critical of anyone, what I think or say doesn’t matter I am just a lousy player chiming in with my 2cents. LoL, I do love getting super long kills with just their hand poked out , or 25 kills with 0 deaths and the worst thing I have to worry about is running out of ammo, because I can’t get engineers yet.
If you see me in your game, just hit exit, lol
Well, majority of players never do well in FPS games, they just never speak out loudly. Have you talked to those newbees got tired of being killed when CQC he is using bolt action, enemy is using full auto? The only solution for them to continue playing this game is to play the low intensity way.
That’s what this game should be designed to encourage players to play for the objects. But players still should play whatever they want to.
Also, capture object take minutes, and only give you 100(and if you die before team captured it, you get even less scores). But sniping for 3 kill easily get near or more than this. Win/lose? Who care about the team when himself has no game experience.
LOL, yeah this game is in expanding period. If you try to do this to those games in plateau , continue discourage new players, the game will die one day.
Well, I can’t speak to all snipers, but people who have cursed my name have done so at the wrong end of a bolt-action. Thing is, your best player can be a sniper while everyone else is just rushing in a constant stream of two squads that are easily mowed down by machine guns, turrets, and the like, either chewing down the reserves number on offense or just dying outside the CP on defense.
Bad players kill teams no matter what they play.
I am not discouraging new players, I’m telling them to man up and play the objective or at least contribute to the team. I mean when bots play the objective more than players who sit on the spawn and do nothing for the rest of the game, something is truly wrong with the player base
Still, it’s game that should encourage players to play for objects. But not forcing them to do it. And sniping is many new players wanting to do. If dev want to fix this, simple, move sniper I to later levels. But they didnt do this, just to leave a way for new players to play casually.
Eh. I don’t think we should be stat locking them. Snipers and campers are 100% useless unless they’re on the defending team and posted up on an objective imo, and i despise them with every fiber of my being. But I don’t think they or their weapons should be locked out.
Instead of stat locking things, ask why do people behave this way.
For example I often prefer to not go to the objective simply because CQC mayhem is not really my thing.
I love CQC. I love the chaos and the run and gun, don’t think, act style of play. Its a rush!
