Posted the final scoreboard for this round earlier.

The two clips are the same push, just with dead time in the middle cut out. The full clip feels like a perfect encapsulation of the struggle sometimes. Beacons on top D to pressure (though they kept hunting them), ladders to make entry, Assault's Frontliner health regen to stay in the fight as long as possible, but ultimately they just wanted to win more. Good on them, honestly. The enemy team played to win and won by 400.

Conquest is the OG GOAT but it really is such a ball buster sometimes, man. I've heard BT is better for small motivated squads to win, might mainline it for a bit. Though the game as a whole could really use some big round win bonus to incentivize PTFO'ing.

Funny enough I feel like I’ve been doing better with them since the reworks, all that muscle memory from past games causing me to over lead my shots before is finally paying off! Getting those headshots feels way more satisfying as I feel like I’m actually showing off my sniper skill that has accumulated over the years. 

The options also feel way more well rounded as the L115 (shown above) actually has a reason to run it as it plays like a pre update mini scout if it wasn’t over powered lol. I could be wrong (I believe it’s max muzzle velocity was 800 before) but it seems like they actually buffed the muzzle velocity to go more in line with the nerf velocities of the PSR and SV-98 (new muzzle velocity: 850) being only a 20 stat difference. Also the mini scout is actually more pigeon held to be for closer ranges, it has a shit ton of drag, and rightfully so since it still is tied with m2010 having the highest muzzle velocity still. The class balance is certainly better than where it was.

With that, here are some changes I would still like to see.

• Mini Scout: The elephant in the room, the mini scout is pretty much still the best option in most situations, and I’m pretty disappointed that the main issue with it is still mostly at play: just has the best all around stats. I still think it’s ridiculous that it still maintains the highest velocity in the class. Up to 100 meters or so it’s still going to be the best outright option as engagements beyond that get more niche. I would like to see them buff the rechamber rate to its original state (fuck it, possibly close to 60) and have its velocity be reduced to sub 800mps maxed out. With this it would expand the gap of use case from this and the other snipers in general. Make people really work for those kills beyond cqc. The thing handles like an assault rifle, dueling with another sniper of similar skill you are out right going to have the edge 95% of the time if they aren’t also running the scout. I will say the drop that they did put on it is extremely nice to see. It’s very awkward to do long range sniping with this thing and that’s great lol.
• PSR: They should swap the rechamber rate of the PSR and the M2010. Why am not arguing that the PSR and the M2010 should switch velocities? It comes down to the PSR’s reduced mag. By default the PSR may have worst handling than the M2010 but that completely changes when you swap its 10 round for the 8 rounder. It increases the PSRs mobility stat by 10 points completely eclipsing the handling of the M2010 while also decreasing the ads time in. All for sacrificing what, 2 rounds? Oh no? And with that it essentially becomes the more aggressive option with 3 extra rounds per mag than the M2010 for the same amount of points. And instead of fixing what’s clearly an oversight, I would rather the devs embrace this and.. you understand where I was going at the beginning here? Maybe also increase its velocity to 875-880 or so to make it a little different form the L110. With these it would sort of it make it the flex pick of the class. 
• SV-98: Honestly it perplexes me that this weapon and the PSR simultaneously existed since launch since usually these types of straight up clone weapons get added towards the end of a games content cycle. I suppose it has better handling with a bigger mag and a closer range sweet spot to boot? But at that point just use a scout or any other sniper with a faster rechamber rate if you want to be closer to the action. Good snipers don’t care about sweet spots anyway since they’ll already be aiming for the head. Honestly have no idea what they could do for this thing to make it stand out, let me know what you guys think.

Happy 4th to fellow Americans of all shapes and colors out there!

Having the option to run these is one of the cooler things ever in a Battelfield title. Previous titles you’d get a velocity nerf but these are genuine stealth. Peoples lack of awareness is palpable.

I wanted to post this because it's funny how I actually landed the two knife throws but it's also funny and kind of ridiculous that it takes two throwing knives to kill them after a sniper bullet to the chest at maybe 30-40 meteres lol

(this was around season 1)

I gapped 2nd place by 15,000 score, got 24 caps, and STILL LOST by 400 tickets. 8 blueberries spent the whole round ratting the top of B (Mirak Valley Conquest)

For those unaware, Gauntlet uses one armour plate providing an additional 40 health to a player. With the recent update the Mini Scout no longer has a oneshot headshot potential because of how they changed its body damage multipliers but the other four snipers are all still able to. Yet somehow in this clip where I'm using the M2010 I get a headshot hitmarker but only do 139 damage. Is there any reason why this is happening?

my first time head-shotting a heli pilot. also seconds after failing the headshot contract. I did not last long in the repo'd littlebird.

It would've been better if the pilot wasn't a bot lol.
