You're probably safe, I'd be really surprised if we get a Beta before the 15th

Wondering about the portal… if I wanted to play vanilla BC2 maps with all the BC2 weapons, is it possible to add in the K98 into the weapons pool?

Portal sounds neat in theory but I’m probably not going to mess around in it myself.

I’m sure some interesting yet ultimately shallow games will come out.

i mean presumably some servers will just be running only bf1942/BC2/BF3 exclusive content, which sounds great. Just play bc2 on the new maps, fuckin sign me up.

Yeah, launching with Portal means we get a bunch more maps at the start. Like even if you don't want to play the gimmick servers people will make, you can still playBC2 rush on the new engine.

There are two main leaks for beta date. One is saying September 6th and the other is the 22nd.

I am hoping for the 6th but the 22nd seems more likely.

Snipers are hated because they drag the team down. They don't push objectives. They get maybe 5 kills a game. They take vehicles so they can fly/drive to the outer extremes of the map (that way they don't have to worry about anyone killing them as they go for sick long distance headshots), then don't even have the courtesy to drive the vehicles a few feet out of bounds so they'll respawn so someone can actually use them.

As a Skylord, I had basically no competition for spawning in my vehicle of choice, the stealth jet.

Except for snipers. Who would grab that thing, fly it off somewhere and bail out so they could constantly miss their shots instead of doing anything useful.

Sniping is good in like, Arma, where you can line up a 800m shot and take it. In BF you're much better off fighting on the god drat point or even flying the UAV around so that your team knows where everyone is rather than trying to snipe.

So it has nothing to do with sniping, just players being bad.

Not really. Everyone just said they didn't like snipers because they were bad at the game, as if being bad at the game is limited to sniping. Medics and support who are bad at the game are way worse. A friendly sniper off in the distance barely affects your gameplay, but a friendly medic who won't revive you? That's aggravating.

This sniper kept bragging about his overall like 3.5 KD as a sniper in BFV (which who cares?) but I looked him up and his kills per minute were like...0.2 and a 10% accuracy lol

You can spawn on him, so he’s not completely useless.

Games with good gameplay loops reward taking ground from enemies. Killing people without any plans of moving up is bad, avoiding as much risk as possible and hiding behind the effective range of your more accurate gun with more damage/less fall off is boring gameplay and should not be rewarded.

I can see you've never played a conquest-large map where your team has only one flag, is down 300 tickets and has 15+ snipers off in the hills contributing nothing.

A good sniper isn't taking that many shots tho, they're counter-sniping, tagging as many people on the map as possible, covering their squad and giving their squad a good spawn point.
