I think this sniper rifle was like the Lee-Enfield etc. fast-firing, low-damage, high bullet drop archetype, and that in the full game we'll see a lot "stronger" ones.
I guarantee you that just a few months into launch the sniping meta will pretty much exactly mirror BF4’s sniper meta; nobody will use these Lee-Enfield type fast fire low damage rifles and the predominant sniper rifle that everyone uses will be the one with the fastest bullet velocity, I think in BF4 it was the SRR

I think it was due to the massive desync from so many people jamming up their servers. It ran better in the 2 days only pre-order people could play, but there were still issues. Also, they need to up the sniper bullet velocity, these maps are huge.
Right? been playing BF since the original (am old) and I don't get what so much of the hate was about this beta. There have been FAR worse betas for a BF (no such thing as a smooth one) and this one was surprisingly stable outside of the movement/server sync issues with vehicles/aiming. I finished at level 27 and I feel like I was only scratching the surface of the limited kits and gameplay.
@@_ac39 yeah, I think people were just building it up too much in their heads or was hoping for a straight BF4 clone with new maps. I can't wait for the release/looking forward to seeing what adjustments they make with the beta feedback
The trouble with videos like this is that they make me think, "yeah, I could snipe like that" so I log in and try. In sniping terms, I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat. Its back to Assault for me.
My biggest complaint with sniping in this game is not just the bullet velocity but the bullet drop. I found it very frustrating having to compensate for drop within 75 meters. Lost many gun fights when I was aiming for the head and I get a hit marker on the upper chest. I miss the satisfaction of BF4 and BF5. This is just frustrating
i do not mean to sound rude or like a dick but the velocity has very much a lot to do with the terrible drop we who all played the BETA experienced... just throwing it out there point is i agree it 1000% needs fixing ASAP like yesterday LOL
The biggest thing that needs to be fixed as far as sniping goes in my opinion, is variable zeroing. Despite not having mil-dots on the 6x scope, we have really nothing to help with bullet drop. In BFV none of the scopes had mil-dots, however they did have variable zeroing, in order for you to adjust to the distance of your target, and get those headshots more efficiently.
I think I'd prefer scopes with a fixed zero (at say 100m) and clean mil dots that fit the bdc for that rifle, than a zeroing toggle, but either would be good
Im also concerned why there was no mil-dots at all. I really hope that other scopes have similar mil-dots to those in Bf4. Also, the lack of Zeroing is also a problem especially since maps are way larger.
I really like sniping on bf1 and bf5, I manage to get consistent with it, but this beta was impossible for me on console. lmao I couldn't hit almost anything, great shots Stod!
@@foxprazision1695 I tried one entire match with the sniper, I went 2-25, it was hilarious how I couldn't compete. With the other weapons it was the opposite, I fucking love the ump (I forgot the in game name) and the ak 24, definitely satisfying to use.

@@simonrodgers2375 I think its meant to help more people get into battlefield just like the movement style changed and the bullet hit reg works alot better. now i think this game is going to be good if they tweak a few things.
what I would change? Everything. How can they have snipers in a game set in WW2 have better bullet velocity and less bullet drop, than a game set 21 years in the future from now. If anything future snipers would be crazy accurate
Hope you weren’t one of the ones saying “just give us a modern version of BF4!” Because that’s exactly how the snipers are in BF4. Slow velocity and lots of drop.
@@TrinityInMe_3 same here, never liked BF4 sniping, but man is it so satisfying in BF1 and BFV. For me BFV is the top when it comes to sniping, so much fun.
I enjoyed thr heck out of the beta (20+hours). I'm an 8 year BF4, a 2 year BFV, and lastly, a 1.5 year Warzone player. I understand that this is an older build, And I understand that dice listens to their player base and things will continue to get better as bf4 and bfv did. I must say all the pieces are there for dice ea to build a competing BR, really hope to see that in the coming months, no matter how cool Hazard Zone ends up being. Getting into that flow state as infantry in this game feels very good. I really like the outplay potential when using the grappling hook. November 19th, I expect a considerable difference from what we just played, and I'm excited to push COD out of my life, even if i have to leave some gamer friends behind. A+ gameplay here from Stod!
Why are you and other people still saying battlefield needs a BR when we haven't seen what they're doing with HAZARD ZONE. BR's are getting stale and we need the next big thing.
I'm a "gamed since we had dial up internet" player and I'm tired of even hearing the word BR. It's a slotmachine-ass bullshit game mode for ahdh kids, let it die already.
I'm just hoping for that meaningful, intense squad gameplay, maybe Hazard Zone will fulfill that for me. Don't get me wrong, I love conquest and breakthrough, but nothing is wrong with a good BR. I've been gaming since 58k internet as well, tell mom not to use the phone.
Oh it is 100% not the gunplay from BC2/BF3. You can see that in the original trailer when the guy is running around with the Thompson on Arica Harbor and shoots. Portal will have 2042’s mechanics, no doubt about it.
They should keep the stuff as it was in older games for Portal. Like i had some fun moments in Beta, but way more moments where i just alt+f4 launched BF3 or 4 and had way more fun. Both games does have some stupid stuff but the gunplay in BF3 is just ... great. Killing 3 people in a row with 1911 feeeels soo much better than all the hours and kills i had in beta. Sadly handguns in BF4 were bit meh. Portal is what i am giving my hopes for atm.
I found that Casper is definitely more of a scout than a sniper, and the proximity sensor is useful for when you're using the drone to spot enemies or disable vehicles. I had several moments during the Beta with the drone's EMP attack against vehicles causing the players to react by jumping out of the vehicle (the AI drivers/pilots on near-empty servers didn't seem to react to the EMP.) While doing this I also had multiple times where the Proximity Sensor lit up red so I as able to disconnect from the drone to engage nearby players. I preferred the DMR7, suppressed with 2x sight and foregrip for mid range but if I knew it was going to be close quarters (such as around Delta and the tunnels or the top of the tower) I'd use the K10 with extended mags (no sight needed because hip fire was amazing and the effective range was fairly limited). I also took Proximity Grenades and an Ammo Crate as the utilities for entering buildings or supporting teammates in the larger firefights.
Snipers feel like ur shooting airsoft gun with a scope with that tragic bullet velocity. The Sw 10 irl has 1300 bullet vel and in game i am not sure but it feels like around 630 or something like that. AND IT SUCKS !
I agree its slow but in games where they give snipers crazy bullet velocity half the team just ends up camping and sniping people anytime someone steps out in the open. In the beta I never felt punished for crossing an open field.
It's soooo tough on console without the articulation of a mouse and no aim assist. I found myself missing to the left of the target and then to the right and then to the left in strafe battles
It was difficult but I hit a few good snipes in the beta and felt good about myself. And then I watched this video and it called me shit :) GGs Stod you're the best in the business.
I played the beta for about 30 hours and also probably spent 25 hours sniping. I'm not sure what they can do to balance them on a map like Orbital. When the servers weren't struggling and I got the hang of the bullet velocity and drop, it was fish in a barrel. I found the sniping very satisfying. I think lots of people were turned off to it during the beta because of the server issues, but if more people stuck it out for when the servers were responsive, folks would have seen the power of the sniper on Orbital. On a different note, I preferred to play with the 6x and didn't mind the lack of mill dots. But I understand the request for it.
Do you think the beta build of snipers is to keep them from being OP on such large maps? Clearly they can be mastered in thier beta state but if they were to increase their effectiveness in the final build would it make them too good?
The problem with the SWS that I faced in the Beta was the fact that the bullet zeroing was too close, aka the bullet began to drop early, (earlier and faster than the last 4 previous Battlefield games) and I had felt that the bullet drop was inconsistent from varying elevations and distance. Additionally, as you mentioned the bullet velocity is also way too slow especially when you take into consideration of the arts that were BFV and BF1's sniping which is difficult for me as I tried to snipe like I would in BFV. Furthermore, the SWS really suffers in the build that was the Beta due to, in my opinion, the vastly improved gunplay from previous titles. This made it so that when using the SWS you needed to be at range, however, due to the limitations and hinderance of the bullet velocity and bullet drop it simply felt like you couldn't. On the 3rd day of the beta after sniping for 4 hours straight I had gotten used to it, I began correcting my mistakes of aiming straight at the head and instead adjusting to the horrendous bullet drop. I do wish DICE would change this, only however if it is the profile that all snipers share in the full release of the game, if the SWS is the only sniper with these mechanics then that means that every individual sniper will feel unique with a plethora of playstyles.
I just made and posted a montage where I was Sniping in the beta. Its such a weird experience. Sometimes you hit a one hit that hits great. And then sometimes you get 4 hitmarkers on someone when sniping which feels ridiculous. It’s a horrible sniper in general but I still had more fun with it than using the ar’s. This beta is really rough unfortunately.
@0:40 After my time in 2042 I found sniping to feel unsatisfying because people seem to be able to often spray you down with SMG fire at 200 yards. The smaller guns need a damage by range adjustment. I just ended up running around with an machine gun rather than sniper rifle and single fire sniping snipers back then going auto when in close.
Kudos! bro you got some mad sniping skills :) I played the open beta for 5hrs had so much trouble trying to hit anything with that sniper rifle using all of the scopes.... and when I did it wasn't 1 shot 1 kill , even head shots...so i thought the sniper rifle was underwhelming....I think the game definitely needs more polish before release...
I've seen no one mention this but ill say it here. As a top 1% recon player in bf1/5 the thing that will prevent me from playing sniper in 2042 aside from bullet velocity/drop is the lack of marksman bonus in this game. In all BF titles dating to at least BFBC2 you were rewarded 1 point per meter on a headshot over 150 meters. Also accounting for the lack of the headshot bonus, the point difference between 2042 and prior titles are massive. In previous games while moving from point to point I would get several 400+ point kills because of the range bonus. Completely gutting this point system prevents snipers from being competitive what so ever. (If you don't believe me my YT name is my IGN on battlefield tracker.)
I usually disagree with making sniping too good in games, but I completely agree with Stodeh in this case. I would like them to up the bullet velocity a bit (maybe 25% faster?), although I like that the suppressors don't reduce bullet velocity but instead further incentivize headshots as their damage at range is decreased. I would like slightly higher magnification scopes, and the ability to change your elevation manually for long-range shooting like in BF4.
Casper needs a big buff. Perhaps the drone could patrol an area around you? Something, because it’s just terrible right now. I only used it to disable vehicles. While on the subject of a buff, falck needs to have her kit reverted to how it was before. The syrette pistol needs to be able to revive from range.
I swear everytime I see a TH-camr sniping, people stay still, or run in straight lines. When iam trying to snipe, characters become agents from the matrix.. just moving out of the way the exact time I take my shot.
I feel the same way, but I think the difference between us and Stodeh (well, other than not being cracked) is the decision timing. Look at how long it takes him to 1) identify a target, 2) scope in, and 3) fire. We sit there like idiots actually thinking and tracking, while he just acquires and adjusts for the immediate position/direction and fires without shitting about.
Dude I’ve missed you on BF. My weekend mornings used to consist of waking up with coffee and throwing on your stream. I really don’t enjoy CoD so I hope to see you on BF more in the future. Much love Stodeh
Hoping they have a higher velocity snipers with the full game. Also, it’s weird to me how the cod campaigns always try and have realistic bullet drop and influence from the wind, but the multiplayer is just point, shoot, and you’ve hit your target that has a hit box twice the size of its head.
Man, it was so fun watching you stream this everyday, Stod. You're in your element with this game because there are constantly enemies to shoot at (compared to WZ where there is a lot of downtime especially during the final circles). Those collaterals and those heli/vehicle snipes were so crispy. Can't wait to play more of this myself! GG
Grapplehook guy was going to be used by my sniper class 100%. It's funny how Casper got used as a tank hunter/assault for me: the lack of good spotting makes using bushes and foliage good to ambush tanks and C4 them. Then when attacking a point your passive motion sensor can easily tell you when someone is actually near you and while that is not perfect, it can make a massive difference.
Yeah, I ran around with Casper, the Sensor, an LMG & ammo. The passive drone made defense hella sweet, but I found the mechanics just too damned frustrating with no consistency.
I'm fine with them having low damage on suppressor but it should make it so your scope dosen't light up anymore. So you have to chose to play risky high damage or stealthy lower damage (headshot should ofc be one shot)
Love the shots stodeh. Love how you just chill and take your time around the two D objectives yet every game I played you couldn't move a inch before getting killed lol
the SWS10 seems to be more of an 'aggressive sniping' type sniper. It's mag capacity is pretty good and fire rate is quite good but its bullet velocity isn't and its drop is pretty straight but drops off quickly at longer ranges. Unfortunately Orbital seems more like a long range sniping type map than an aggressive sniping map.
i just feel like the aiming is just wrong i'd like to say i was very good sniping in bfv and i can't hit a thing in the beta it just feels off like the scopes aren't centred correctly
I just wish they used the scopes from battlefield 4, you have the degrees and how much is the distance for each line, and you could regulate the bullet drop for those really long snipes
• Add more bullet velocity. • Add more damage and bring back the sweet spot like i bf1 and bfv. • Add zeroing. • Decrease Bullet drop. • Add movement when prone and scoped in. • Reduce lens glint like bfv. To me these things need address as sniping in this game is worthless and recon is my favourite thing to do in bf and it feels like im running around with a pea shooter.
Bullet velocity needs a massive buff for launch. It’s hilariously slow, even slower than BF4’s hilariously slow velocities. But they also EITHER need to decrease the overall bullet drop at range with snipers, or bring back scope zeroing (I would prefer to keep the current bullet drop but have scope zeroing. We don’t need ridiculous Warzone laser bullets in our Battlefield!)
I’ve been playing COD for a while so going back to Battlefield with no aim assist and messed up default controller settings was tough. After a while I adjusted the sensitivity + other settings and I was quickly reminded why Battlefield is my favorite FPS. So much more realistic and fun to play with friends rather than just playing with rats camping every corner on COD.
Hey, on a positive note, trying to aggressive snipe on the beta made me pretty good at quickscoping. Both in the beta and previous bf games, Mainly cuz that's the only way to hit someone at closer ranges. Let's hope there's better rifles at launch, cuz otherwise the aggressive sniper is basically dead for about 70% of the pc playerbase and about 90% of the console playerbase.
I quite like the bullet velocity to be honest. Yes it is harder but it makes you learn the guns so to speak. I kill and get killed plenty by snipers and I'm thinking if the bullet velocity was higher it'd much easier and therefor make you'd get killed more often (and get more kills too, granted) making it much more frustrating in general. To me it feels like snipers (me included) have to put in work to be consistent. If it were easier would we just have too many camping snipers around the map? That's my worry. I by no mean this as a "git gud" post, but BF feels different and refreshing compared to lets say CoD and because it is a little bit harder it makes every kill that much more rewarding :)
Sniping in bf V was on point and was super fun here just felt bleh. I actually went back to sniping on bf V just to get the feel again just to be sure.
Totally agree 👍 I love sniping in BFV, people complain it's easy but the point is that it's fun and on Iwo Jima breakthrough for example it's a cool showdown of snipers vs snipers. In this Beta it felt off not only sniping, but the whole gunplay.
@@MinimalGamer yea I agree just a few minutes in loaded up my sniper and tried to snipe someone and I was like this isn't right? When we get the full game and more snipers maybe it will be different but the bullet velocity as it is now the game isn't going to do well
The main problem for me was the server lag, I don't know why, but in the beta I was placed to high ping servers(150-290ms), and snipping in them was awful, I bet a lot of people didn't even notice that
Bullet drop felt fairly extreme in the beta. And bullet velocity felt fairly low. If you played consistently sniping, you definitely developed a feeling for distance and some of the bullet drop ranges to kinda eyeball how high above the target you need to aim. But it definitely felt like for longer distance snipes (couple hundred meters) in 2042 i was having to lob shots like cross map bf4 snipes when the actual distance in 2042 would have been one to two mildots above target in bf4. Cannot speak for bfv sniping as I didn’t play that trash game.
I tested the scope sway with the 6x in game cause I felt like it was throwing off my shots. the scope sways even when your moving it and when you aren't, basically it sways as long as you aren't steadying it by holding your breath. Unfortunately you can't hold your breath for very long in this game. I hope this is just how the beta build is and that sway wont be as intense at launch. I play on PS4 in case thats relevant.
Maybe I'm crazy but I hope they change the kill hit indicator. It is huge and seems to fade away kinda slowly. It bugs me when going for a fast second kill after the first. I'm sure i can adjust but I still dont like it.
Stodeh, did you have any mouse sense/general mouse movement weirdness? It felt for me, and I guess for some others as well, that there was some input latency, as if mouse smoothing was on or something. Couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was, but you're obviously operating at peak headshot-factory here, so maybe it didn't affect you, and if it did, how did you mitigate it? Thanks
One of the biggest things that needs to be changed about sniper rifles in the game is arm penetration. If someone's arm is in between you and their head, and you hit their arm while aiming for the head, it SHOULD go through and land a headshot instead. This was a thing in previous games and it seems to be missing in 2042.
i mostly missed the weapon adjustment for distance whcih means you also need a range indicator aka spotter scope. they can even make this a dual scope thing on the weapon. 1 spotter scope and then swap to main scope. I love super long range sniping as thats satisfying but in 2042 that is dead as it stands.
- Lower bullet velocity - No mil dot (exept x4 scope) - No long range scope (x8 X20 x40 ?) - No range finder - No zeroing Damn now I now why some server limited snipers slot in BF4. Because Sniper is to OP they now nerfed it to the ground
Maybe it’s just like the SV98 in BF3, first bolt action rifle to be playable. Low bullet velocity, high bullet drop and faster rpm. I guess we will have to wait for other rifles to be available to compare.
Suppressors have always been shyte because to use a suppressor effectively, you need sub-sonic ammunition, this can turn a near 7000 joule 338 lapua magnum, traveling at over 1000m/s into a 950j stone flying at only 300m/s Now for soft targets this doesnt make much of a difference, this will still go through 20+ inches of flesh, but the extra velocity is needed to defeat armor. Now, yes this is just a game, but i've always liked the realism of sub sonic ammunition penetrating less armor Its not realistic, in that, armor either defeats a around or it doesnt, if a round breaks through armor its very rarely less dangerous unless it slowed to under 60m/s where it will penetrate, but probably wont penetrate deep vthough multiple organs and without a large temporary cavity
Bullet velocity for sure I'm hoping we get some way better snipers on launch but I definitely struggled to land shots with the sniper anytime I used it I found the dmr to be way more effective for landing shots at pretty much all ranges
I'm pretty good at sniping in BFV and BF1, but didn't really enjoy it in the beta, just felt off, I assume because of bullet velocity and other stuff. I just mostly played Vehicles. Hope they fix it
What I'd change in the sniper is the bullet velocity, it is to slow, feels like you are shooting a tank round or something like that, the bullet drop is not a big deal but still can improve... Btw: nice skill dude xD
Even without the Suppressor I have gotten 3 hit marks so ya doesn't really matter what attachment you use. I love sniping but it's probably the weakest compared to laser guns and movement in this game and for some reason it feels like tracking a player while run is buggy at least on console because it hard to hit headshots
the velocity looks like a damn airsoft gun, and by that i mean that you can often watch the "bullets" flying at you and side step them at any significant range
Turn the A.I. skins into a class system with weapons for each archetype of class like BF4. Then make the specialist kits into a utility gadget that anyone can have! The old with the new!
I persisted on PS4 and thought I got the hang of the sniper in the beta…..until I watched this lol The DM7 was the other weapon I used a lot of and it was insane when you got it worked out :)
I think its good bullet velocitiy (on all guns) isnt too high, makes the game less frustrating and you are able to push without getting sniped or camped all the time when playing objectives. I think its healthier for the gameplay and the game overall.
For me the lack of breath hold focus, actuall sights with mil-dot or at least bdc reticles as well as the svk reticle is cartoony and way to thick all over ot does not present a praticle sight for long to mid range combat.
I made that mistake! Using the suppressor (which always made the bullet drop more in previous Battlefields) and it was really noticably worse in 2042! Took it off and it was better. The scope was horrible though with no markers or variable zeroing to assist with long distance aim, should have gone with the 4x! doh!
I think the TH-camr WarOwl said it best “if you increase the movement complexity without decreasing the complexity of shooting, you’re gonna have a bad time” bullet velocity across the board for semi auto should feel good at least at minimum no leading at 200m for targets standing still or moving. I hope in the future they feel very similar to how sniping is war zone would feel at least closer with how the KAR98 and K31 base gun would feel then things like the HDR fully spec’d out, don’t want it really that hit scan. Pair this change with how every sniper scope should have understandable mil dot markers and/or letting you zero your scope on the fly again while telling you what range you are zero’d for would be fantastic
if even Stodeh says that the bullet velocity is too slow.... its too slow.
also i think the bullet velocity of pretty much every gun was too slow in the BF2042 beta
But other snipers may have really good velocity. It's being based of a few selected guns. The other guns may be fine.
BFV gunplay is so satisfying, i really hope they can bring this to 2042
Maybe it was just the difference in available zoom level, but the DMR felt like it had faster velocity than the sniper
TBAG@ u think? I’m having fun with the gun play and the bullet velocity is good idk why u don’t like it, and I don’t don’t even feel it slow?

@@tuelzalt BF5 gunplay? Only good thing about it was sniping, literally everything else in BF5 gunplay is pure garbage 😂
The biggest thing that needs to be fixed as far as sniping goes in my opinion, is variable zeroing. Despite not having mil-dots on the 6x scope, we have really nothing to help with bullet drop.
In BFV none of the scopes had mil-dots, however they did have variable zeroing, in order for you to adjust to the distance of your target, and get those headshots more efficiently.
I think I'd prefer scopes with a fixed zero (at say 100m) and clean mil dots that fit the bdc for that rifle, than a zeroing toggle, but either would be good
I learned those scopes without zeroing. It's doable, it just takes time
Im also concerned why there was no mil-dots at all. I really hope that other scopes have similar mil-dots to those in Bf4. Also, the lack of Zeroing is also a problem especially since maps are way larger.
Armour needs gone as well
I have never used variable zeroing distance, just learn the bullet drop for the current gun and aiming higher.
I really like sniping on bf1 and bf5, I manage to get consistent with it, but this beta was impossible for me on console. lmao

I think there going to change it to where each specialist is in a class and restrict what gadgets they can use like mackay can only use a rocket launcher and that would make the specialists be fine for everyone
It's crazy isn't it, the entire point in Battlefield is to choose a class based on your playstyle. Now you can have a sniper medic, it's insane.
@@simonrodgers2375 I think its meant to help more people get into battlefield just like the movement style changed and the bullet hit reg works alot better. now i think this game is going to be good if they tweak a few things.
@@simonrodgers2375 Infinite ammo sniper that can self heal, but they dont let you resupply and have any counter to vehicles at the same time.
@@ender_3807 that would be great, dont mind if every class has the same chance to play with the same primary. The gadgets should be limited.
Leave it to Stod to make something broken look like it's not.
It’s not broken just learn the velocity and drop. Not hard at all. I’ve sniped plenty of pilots so far and hit just as nice as clips as stod.
jeez get used to it than complaining from day 1
It's not broken lol
The bullet velocity on the SWS I believe it’s called was super low, I honestly didn’t enjoy sniping in the beta
Just pretend you are using the bow from BF4 and it will feel just about right.
Maybe trash
Me to and I love sniping. It was like a love hate thing for me. I missed way more then I do in other games!!
It was ridiculously hard to trace someone moving with the sensitivity, and then the bullet velocity was so slow
@@erlend6338 yup I did not like it :/. Hope it isnt final and they improve everything about it. Fast ads fast bullet travel like bfv 😃.
what I would change? Everything. How can they have snipers in a game set in WW2 have better bullet velocity and less bullet drop, than a game set 21 years in the future from now. If anything future snipers would be crazy accurate
Hope you weren’t one of the ones saying “just give us a modern version of BF4!” Because that’s exactly how the snipers are in BF4. Slow velocity and lots of drop.
@@user-dj9iu2et3r no I've only played 1 and 5 and I loved both so my expectations were based around that gameplay and sniping
@@TrinityInMe_3 same here, never liked BF4 sniping, but man is it so satisfying in BF1 and BFV. For me BFV is the top when it comes to sniping, so much fun.
@@MinimalGamer yeah bfv sniping was so right, and the headshot count too was a good add
@@user-dj9iu2et3r sniping in bf4 was perfect
I enjoyed thr heck out of the beta (20+hours). I'm an 8 year BF4, a 2 year BFV, and lastly, a 1.5 year Warzone player. I understand that this is an older build, And I understand that dice listens to their player base and things will continue to get better as bf4 and bfv did. I must say all the pieces are there for dice ea to build a competing BR, really hope to see that in the coming months, no matter how cool Hazard Zone ends up being. Getting into that flow state as infantry in this game feels very good. I really like the outplay potential when using the grappling hook. November 19th, I expect a considerable difference from what we just played, and I'm excited to push COD out of my life, even if i have to leave some gamer friends behind.
A+ gameplay here from Stod!
Why are you and other people still saying battlefield needs a BR when we haven't seen what they're doing with HAZARD ZONE. BR's are getting stale and we need the next big thing.
I'm a "gamed since we had dial up internet" player and I'm tired of even hearing the word BR. It's a slotmachine-ass bullshit game mode for ahdh kids, let it die already.
I'm just hoping for that meaningful, intense squad gameplay, maybe Hazard Zone will fulfill that for me. Don't get me wrong, I love conquest and breakthrough, but nothing is wrong with a good BR. I've been gaming since 58k internet as well, tell mom not to use the phone.
@@Metalbringer92 what the fuck is ahdh?
Really hope they don't mess up the gunplay in Portal, due to the 'remastering'
Oh it is 100% not the gunplay from BC2/BF3. You can see that in the original trailer when the guy is running around with the Thompson on Arica Harbor and shoots. Portal will have 2042’s mechanics, no doubt about it.
They should keep the stuff as it was in older games for Portal. Like i had some fun moments in Beta, but way more moments where i just alt+f4 launched BF3 or 4 and had way more fun. Both games does have some stupid stuff but the gunplay in BF3 is just ... great. Killing 3 people in a row with 1911 feeeels soo much better than all the hours and kills i had in beta. Sadly handguns in BF4 were bit meh. Portal is what i am giving my hopes for atm.
@@RostislavHladik they should…but they won’t unfortunately.
I found that Casper is definitely more of a scout than a sniper, and the proximity sensor is useful for when you're using the drone to spot enemies or disable vehicles. I had several moments during the Beta with the drone's EMP attack against vehicles causing the players to react by jumping out of the vehicle (the AI drivers/pilots on near-empty servers didn't seem to react to the EMP.) While doing this I also had multiple times where the Proximity Sensor lit up red so I as able to disconnect from the drone to engage nearby players.
I preferred the DMR7, suppressed with 2x sight and foregrip for mid range but if I knew it was going to be close quarters (such as around Delta and the tunnels or the top of the tower) I'd use the K10 with extended mags (no sight needed because hip fire was amazing and the effective range was fairly limited).
I also took Proximity Grenades and an Ammo Crate as the utilities for entering buildings or supporting teammates in the larger firefights.
Things I would change
1: reticles:I would add Mildots
2: add some sort of changing distance, like in bf4
3: more bullet velocity for everything
To me, BFv had some of the best sniping. If they could get it similar to that I would buy this game instantly.
Best? Or maybe just super easy? Lol
@@BornInArona fair enough, it was super easy lol, but that's what made it fun.
@@john_not_athan_B for me it was often just annoying lol and to snipe was for me a nobrainer
because it was crazy op
Snipers feel like ur shooting airsoft gun with a scope with that tragic bullet velocity. The Sw 10 irl has 1300 bullet vel and in game i am not sure but it feels like around 630 or something like that.
AND IT SUCKS !
Yikes. So it’s like bf4 bullet velocities then…hopefully there’s a parameter for bullet velocity. I’d just x2 for everything.
I agree its slow but in games where they give snipers crazy bullet velocity half the team just ends up camping and sniping people anytime someone steps out in the open. In the beta I never felt punished for crossing an open field.
"I've been getting more of them Heli snipes today".... Stodeh is obscene 🤣
It's soooo tough on console without the articulation of a mouse and no aim assist. I found myself missing to the left of the target and then to the right and then to the left in strafe battles
It was difficult but I hit a few good snipes in the beta and felt good about myself. And then I watched this video and it called me shit :)
GGs Stod you're the best in the business.
Same. But its good that way so i have something i can improve on when the game releases. And im hyped to grind to git gud
In bf1 I get 2.5 kd with sniper and obrez. In 2042 I was getting 0.25 kd. Constant one or two frame deaths but such bad servers I couldn’t hit a shot
Some server sucked for sure. But in western Canada most i connected too where 40s for ping.
I also got good pings, but even with that I couldnt hit shit with how the fast the movement is. People move like crazy person in this game.
I played the beta for about 30 hours and also probably spent 25 hours sniping. I'm not sure what they can do to balance them on a map like Orbital. When the servers weren't struggling and I got the hang of the bullet velocity and drop, it was fish in a barrel. I found the sniping very satisfying. I think lots of people were turned off to it during the beta because of the server issues, but if more people stuck it out for when the servers were responsive, folks would have seen the power of the sniper on Orbital.
On a different note, I preferred to play with the 6x and didn't mind the lack of mill dots. But I understand the request for it.
Do you think the beta build of snipers is to keep them from being OP on such large maps? Clearly they can be mastered in thier beta state but if they were to increase their effectiveness in the final build would it make them too good?
The best sniper player in the world has uploaded a new vid
The problem with the SWS that I faced in the Beta was the fact that the bullet zeroing was too close, aka the bullet began to drop early, (earlier and faster than the last 4 previous Battlefield games) and I had felt that the bullet drop was inconsistent from varying elevations and distance.
Additionally, as you mentioned the bullet velocity is also way too slow especially when you take into consideration of the arts that were BFV and BF1's sniping which is difficult for me as I tried to snipe like I would in BFV.
Furthermore, the SWS really suffers in the build that was the Beta due to, in my opinion, the vastly improved gunplay from previous titles. This made it so that when using the SWS you needed to be at range, however, due to the limitations and hinderance of the bullet velocity and bullet drop it simply felt like you couldn't.
On the 3rd day of the beta after sniping for 4 hours straight I had gotten used to it, I began correcting my mistakes of aiming straight at the head and instead adjusting to the horrendous bullet drop. I do wish DICE would change this, only however if it is the profile that all snipers share in the full release of the game, if the SWS is the only sniper with these mechanics then that means that every individual sniper will feel unique with a plethora of playstyles.
I've used all the specialist for the sniper set up. Having a variety of things to use really creates a crazy battlefield.
I just made and posted a montage where I was Sniping in the beta. Its such a weird experience. Sometimes you hit a one hit that hits great. And then sometimes you get 4 hitmarkers on someone when sniping which feels ridiculous. It’s a horrible sniper in general but I still had more fun with it than using the ar’s. This beta is really rough unfortunately.
@0:40
After my time in 2042 I found sniping to feel unsatisfying because people seem to be able to often spray you down with SMG fire at 200 yards.
The smaller guns need a damage by range adjustment.
I just ended up running around with an machine gun rather than sniper rifle and single fire sniping snipers back then going auto when in close.
Kudos! bro you got some mad sniping skills :) I played the open beta for 5hrs had so much trouble trying to hit anything with that sniper rifle using all of the scopes.... and when I did it wasn't 1 shot 1 kill , even head shots...so i thought the sniper rifle was underwhelming....I think the game definitely needs more polish before release...
I loved playing this beta so much, I cant wait for the full game and all the maps! Especially the damavand peak style section, Battlefield is back!
I've seen no one mention this but ill say it here. As a top 1% recon player in bf1/5 the thing that will prevent me from playing sniper in 2042 aside from bullet velocity/drop is the lack of marksman bonus in this game. In all BF titles dating to at least BFBC2 you were rewarded 1 point per meter on a headshot over 150 meters. Also accounting for the lack of the headshot bonus, the point difference between 2042 and prior titles are massive. In previous games while moving from point to point I would get several 400+ point kills because of the range bonus. Completely gutting this point system prevents snipers from being competitive what so ever. (If you don't believe me my YT name is my IGN on battlefield tracker.)
I usually disagree with making sniping too good in games, but I completely agree with Stodeh in this case. I would like them to up the bullet velocity a bit (maybe 25% faster?), although I like that the suppressors don't reduce bullet velocity but instead further incentivize headshots as their damage at range is decreased. I would like slightly higher magnification scopes, and the ability to change your elevation manually for long-range shooting like in BF4.
Casper needs a big buff. Perhaps the drone could patrol an area around you? Something, because it’s just terrible right now. I only used it to disable vehicles. While on the subject of a buff, falck needs to have her kit reverted to how it was before. The syrette pistol needs to be able to revive from range.
I swear everytime I see a TH-camr sniping, people stay still, or run in straight lines. When iam trying to snipe, characters become agents from the matrix.. just moving out of the way the exact time I take my shot.
I feel the same way, but I think the difference between us and Stodeh (well, other than not being cracked) is the decision timing. Look at how long it takes him to 1) identify a target, 2) scope in, and 3) fire.
We sit there like idiots actually thinking and tracking, while he just acquires and adjusts for the immediate position/direction and fires without shitting about.
Bf5 and bf1 was nice for sniping
Dude I’ve missed you on BF. My weekend mornings used to consist of waking up with coffee and throwing on your stream. I really don’t enjoy CoD so I hope to see you on BF more in the future. Much love Stodeh
Hoping they have a higher velocity snipers with the full game. Also, it’s weird to me how the cod campaigns always try and have realistic bullet drop and influence from the wind, but the multiplayer is just point, shoot, and you’ve hit your target that has a hit box twice the size of its head.
Man, it was so fun watching you stream this everyday, Stod. You're in your element with this game because there are constantly enemies to shoot at (compared to WZ where there is a lot of downtime especially during the final circles). Those collaterals and those heli/vehicle snipes were so crispy. Can't wait to play more of this myself! GG
Well he has been using an aimbot in warzone so lets see if this carries to bf
0:42 love that he went for the no scope 😂
I accepted the trade of damage for the stealth. The way my squad has tackled the objectives it's worked out perfectly!
Great vid Stodeh! Very enjoyable and informative. I look forward to more and more BF2042 content from you mate. Cheers!
Grapplehook guy was going to be used by my sniper class 100%. It's funny how Casper got used as a tank hunter/assault for me: the lack of good spotting makes using bushes and foliage good to ambush tanks and C4 them. Then when attacking a point your passive motion sensor can easily tell you when someone is actually near you and while that is not perfect, it can make a massive difference.
Yeah, I ran around with Casper, the Sensor, an LMG & ammo. The passive drone made defense hella sweet, but I found the mechanics just too damned frustrating with no consistency.
I'm fine with them having low damage on suppressor but it should make it so your scope dosen't light up anymore. So you have to chose to play risky high damage or stealthy lower damage (headshot should ofc be one shot)
Love the shots stodeh. Love how you just chill and take your time around the two D objectives yet every game I played you couldn't move a inch before getting killed lol
the SWS10 seems to be more of an 'aggressive sniping' type sniper. It's mag capacity is pretty good and fire rate is quite good but its bullet velocity isn't and its drop is pretty straight but drops off quickly at longer ranges. Unfortunately Orbital seems more like a long range sniping type map than an aggressive sniping map.
i just feel like the aiming is just wrong i'd like to say i was very good sniping in bfv and i can't hit a thing in the beta it just feels off like the scopes aren't centred correctly
The heli pilot shot off the roof... Think of the children, Stod! That man had a family!
I just wish they used the scopes from battlefield 4, you have the degrees and how much is the distance for each line, and you could regulate the bullet drop for those really long snipes
I noticed an issues with the hit boxes. There were times it just wouldn't register body shots at distance.
• Add more bullet velocity.
• Add more damage and bring back the sweet spot like i bf1 and bfv.
• Add zeroing.
• Decrease Bullet drop.
• Add movement when prone and scoped in.
• Reduce lens glint like bfv.
To me these things need address as sniping in this game is worthless and recon is my favourite thing to do in bf and it feels like im running around with a pea shooter.
I agree with you about the bullit velocity, it is waaaaaaaaaay too slow, so I Hope it Will be much faster at launch. Thanks for good content 👌
Bullet velocity needs a massive buff for launch. It’s hilariously slow, even slower than BF4’s hilariously slow velocities.
But they also EITHER need to decrease the overall bullet drop at range with snipers, or bring back scope zeroing (I would prefer to keep the current bullet drop but have scope zeroing. We don’t need ridiculous Warzone laser bullets in our Battlefield!)
I’ve been playing COD for a while so going back to Battlefield with no aim assist and messed up default controller settings was tough. After a while I adjusted the sensitivity + other settings and I was quickly reminded why Battlefield is my favorite FPS. So much more realistic and fun to play with friends rather than just playing with rats camping every corner on COD.
the game audio is stupid quiet when I played. I found so many problems but no one talks about the audio being off
He Don't Miss. And we love him for it. Sick Snipes Stod!!
Hey, on a positive note, trying to aggressive snipe on the beta made me pretty good at quickscoping. Both in the beta and previous bf games, Mainly cuz that's the only way to hit someone at closer ranges. Let's hope there's better rifles at launch, cuz otherwise the aggressive sniper is basically dead for about 70% of the pc playerbase and about 90% of the console playerbase.
I quite like the bullet velocity to be honest. Yes it is harder but it makes you learn the guns so to speak. I kill and get killed plenty by snipers and I'm thinking if the bullet velocity was higher it'd much easier and therefor make you'd get killed more often (and get more kills too, granted) making it much more frustrating in general. To me it feels like snipers (me included) have to put in work to be consistent. If it were easier would we just have too many camping snipers around the map? That's my worry.
I by no mean this as a "git gud" post, but BF feels different and refreshing compared to lets say CoD and because it is a little bit harder it makes every kill that much more rewarding :)
Sniping in bf V was on point and was super fun here just felt bleh. I actually went back to sniping on bf V just to get the feel again just to be sure.
Totally agree 👍 I love sniping in BFV, people complain it's easy but the point is that it's fun and on Iwo Jima breakthrough for example it's a cool showdown of snipers vs snipers. In this Beta it felt off not only sniping, but the whole gunplay.
@@MinimalGamer yea I agree just a few minutes in loaded up my sniper and tried to snipe someone and I was like this isn't right? When we get the full game and more snipers maybe it will be different but the bullet velocity as it is now the game isn't going to do well
The intro snipes are awesome!
The main problem for me was the server lag, I don't know why, but in the beta I was placed to high ping servers(150-290ms), and snipping in them was awful, I bet a lot of people didn't even notice that
Bullet drop felt fairly extreme in the beta. And bullet velocity felt fairly low. If you played consistently sniping, you definitely developed a feeling for distance and some of the bullet drop ranges to kinda eyeball how high above the target you need to aim. But it definitely felt like for longer distance snipes (couple hundred meters) in 2042 i was having to lob shots like cross map bf4 snipes when the actual distance in 2042 would have been one to two mildots above target in bf4. Cannot speak for bfv sniping as I didn’t play that trash game.
I tested the scope sway with the 6x in game cause I felt like it was throwing off my shots. the scope sways even when your moving it and when you aren't, basically it sways as long as you aren't steadying it by holding your breath. Unfortunately you can't hold your breath for very long in this game. I hope this is just how the beta build is and that sway wont be as intense at launch. I play on PS4 in case thats relevant.
Thanks for tip, bcuz I snipe more than anything and I cant seem to get that bullet drop rite.
Maybe I'm crazy but I hope they change the kill hit indicator. It is huge and seems to fade away kinda slowly. It bugs me when going for a fast second kill after the first. I'm sure i can adjust but I still dont like it.
Stodeh, did you have any mouse sense/general mouse movement weirdness? It felt for me, and I guess for some others as well, that there was some input latency, as if mouse smoothing was on or something. Couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was, but you're obviously operating at peak headshot-factory here, so maybe it didn't affect you, and if it did, how did you mitigate it?
Thanks
Nothing can replace the sounds of the SRR and Martini Henry
One of the biggest things that needs to be changed about sniper rifles in the game is arm penetration. If someone's arm is in between you and their head, and you hit their arm while aiming for the head, it SHOULD go through and land a headshot instead. This was a thing in previous games and it seems to be missing in 2042.
i mostly missed the weapon adjustment for distance whcih means you also need a range indicator aka spotter scope. they can even make this a dual scope thing on the weapon. 1 spotter scope and then swap to main scope. I love super long range sniping as thats satisfying but in 2042 that is dead as it stands.
I cant wait for your full game sniping gameplays...best sniping content creator period the GOAT at sniping
Bullet velocity definitely needs to be faster, because people with an assault rifle can snakes hear from halfway across the map.
- Lower bullet velocity
- No mil dot (exept x4 scope)
- No long range scope (x8 X20 x40 ?)
- No range finder
- No zeroing
Damn now I now why some server limited snipers slot in BF4. Because Sniper is to OP they now nerfed it to the ground
Maybe it’s just like the SV98 in BF3, first bolt action rifle to be playable.
Low bullet velocity, high bullet drop and faster rpm. I guess we will have to wait for other rifles to be available to compare.
Suppressors have always been shyte because to use a suppressor effectively, you need sub-sonic ammunition, this can turn a near 7000 joule 338 lapua magnum, traveling at over 1000m/s into a 950j stone flying at only 300m/s
Now for soft targets this doesnt make much of a difference, this will still go through 20+ inches of flesh, but the extra velocity is needed to defeat armor. Now, yes this is just a game, but i've always liked the realism of sub sonic ammunition penetrating less armor
Its not realistic, in that, armor either defeats a around or it doesnt, if a round breaks through armor its very rarely less dangerous unless it slowed to under 60m/s where it will penetrate, but probably wont penetrate deep vthough multiple organs and without a large temporary cavity
Bullet velocity for sure I'm hoping we get some way better snipers on launch but I definitely struggled to land shots with the sniper anytime I used it I found the dmr to be way more effective for landing shots at pretty much all ranges
You’re godlike. Subbing now. Sick stuff dude. Really excited for the full release and think I’m the end it’ll be really good.
The sens for mouse felt so off during the beta and with using the sniper scope. I think I changed my ads sens more than I actually used the sniper.
I'm pretty good at sniping in BFV and BF1, but didn't really enjoy it in the beta, just felt off, I assume because of bullet velocity and other stuff. I just mostly played Vehicles. Hope they fix it
You are inhuman with those snipes man. Your skill never fails to impress me.
I wouldn't change anything. I like the challenge. All I want is a different reticle for the 4x. Can't wait for full release
9:06..... I garuantee that half those COD streamers saw the "Easy anti-cheat" emblem and thought, nah this games not for me lmao.
What I'd change in the sniper is the bullet velocity, it is to slow, feels like you are shooting a tank round or something like that, the bullet drop is not a big deal but still can improve...
Btw: nice skill dude xD
Even without the Suppressor I have gotten 3 hit marks so ya doesn't really matter what attachment you use. I love sniping but it's probably the weakest compared to laser guns and movement in this game and for some reason it feels like tracking a player while run is buggy at least on console because it hard to hit headshots
And so far in the beta killing some at close range with it is like shoot 2 seconds later they fall over dead and it's like wait I hit that guy?
the velocity looks like a damn airsoft gun, and by that i mean that you can often watch the "bullets" flying at you and side step them at any significant range
5:46 did he say "target is fu**ed?" xD , never saw that coming from an EA game, am impressed.
Sheeeeeehs, insane stod
BF2042 sniping on console was a nightmare. As a standard, if it’s difficult on PC it’s worse on Xbox/PS.
"He's under the bollock" was our favourite callout of the beta too to be fair.
I'm amazed how your hands stabilize the aim when you're ADSing. It's like your sensitivity goes down automatically. WHAT'S THE TRICK! too good
On of your can have a sniper keybind in your mouse that literally makes your sensitivity lower
suppressors actually should increase bullet velocity and damage range if I remember correctly from a video describing how they're made and such
Turn the A.I. skins into a class system with weapons for each archetype of class like BF4. Then make the specialist kits into a utility gadget that anyone can have! The old with the new!
I persisted on PS4 and thought I got the hang of the sniper in the beta…..until I watched this lol
The DM7 was the other weapon I used a lot of and it was insane when you got it worked out :)
I think its good bullet velocitiy (on all guns) isnt too high, makes the game less frustrating and you are able to push without getting sniped or camped all the time when playing objectives. I think its healthier for the gameplay and the game overall.
Really, because I'm used to BF4 LMGs whereby I can hit a guy at 50 meters and not deal with bullshit. The drone can kill itself.
In bf V and Bf1 I was always top of the server sniping(console) this game- maybe 6 kills and 98th
so much polish still needed.
For me the lack of breath hold focus, actuall sights with mil-dot or at least bdc reticles as well as the svk reticle is cartoony and way to thick all over ot does not present a praticle sight for long to mid range combat.
I would like it if the sniper rifles felt more like BF4. BF4 has the best sniper mechanics out of any game I've ever played.
I made that mistake! Using the suppressor (which always made the bullet drop more in previous Battlefields) and it was really noticably worse in 2042! Took it off and it was better. The scope was horrible though with no markers or variable zeroing to assist with long distance aim, should have gone with the 4x! doh!
I also noticed there is an option to used Bf1 hitmarker sound effects and that basically sold the game to me.
I think the TH-camr WarOwl said it best “if you increase the movement complexity without decreasing the complexity of shooting, you’re gonna have a bad time” bullet velocity across the board for semi auto should feel good at least at minimum no leading at 200m for targets standing still or moving. I hope in the future they feel very similar to how sniping is war zone would feel at least closer with how the KAR98 and K31 base gun would feel then things like the HDR fully spec’d out, don’t want it really that hit scan. Pair this change with how every sniper scope should have understandable mil dot markers and/or letting you zero your scope on the fly again while telling you what range you are zero’d for would be fantastic
